Lunchtime
English Club
This is an
informal English study group. In each session, we will introduce
to you some high-quality English Language program, such as BBC's "Yes, Prime Minister", or PBS's
"The Elegant Universe".
We believe that a good way to learn intermediate-to-advanced-level
English is to immerse yourselves in an (possibly virtual) English
Language environment, and watching high-quality English Language TV
programs, movies, or documentaries is one such means of
immersion. Hey, this is a fun way to learn English -- and to
enrich yourselves!
Initially, we planned to run the Club for only four weeks. But
since the responses have been quite good, we are extending the program
for another month (at least):

(CS&E graduate students will receive meeting announcement from our
Department's email alias. If you are outside the circle CS&E
graduate students (e.g. you are an undergraduate or you are in another
department), you can email me (see below) to have your name registered
to a separate mailing list.
The Club event will be on every Thursday 12:30-1:15 pm. If you
want to participate in the Club's activities, but the time slot is not
good for you. Please write to me (clement AT cse DOT cuhk DOT edu
DOT hk).
Student helpers are welcome. I can't pay you, but I believe you
may learn something by helping out :-) ("Blessed are those who can give.")
(Special thanks to those who have already been helping out.)
