The
Language Learning Advisory Service (LLAS) is open to all CityU students
who want to improve their English language skills through independent
study.
Students and advisors discuss a
student’s learning needs and goals, create learning plans and discuss
available resources and learning progress. The service aims to help
students learn to:
 Assess their language learning needs
Set independent learning goals
Plan their studies
Find appropriate resources to meet their needs
Evaluate their own learning
Language learning advisors are teachers from the English Language Centre who advise students:
In person in the Self-Access Centre
By email at llasline@cityu.edu.hk
By video conferencing through Windows Live Messenger at llasline@hotmail.com
Role
Language learning advisors do not proofread or act as teachers. Their role is to:
Offer general and specific advice on language learning
Encourage students to be independent learners
Help students identify their English strengths, weaknesses and needs
Guide students in choosing resources in the SAC
Help students make study plans
Advise students on test-taking strategies
Timetable
Students who want to see an advisor should check the LLAS timetable.
Advisors usually take students on a first-come, first served basis. Students will be asked to produce their student ID cards.
A morning session (10:30am-12:20pm) if they want help identifying their grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation needs and finding suitable resources
An evening session (5:30-7:20pm) if they want to bring in a piece of writing to help identify their needs and find suitable resources
Any session for other advice on independent learning
Advisors usually take students on a first-come, first-served basis. Students will be asked to produce their student ID cards.
