Bridging course: “Changing the Medium of Instruction
from Mother-tongue to English”

the change of teaching medium from the mother tongue to English. We
have adopted a number of measures, especially for the Chinese students,
to enable them to adapt to the new teaching medium.

environment to encourage students to use English more and attain the
requirements on a step-by-step basis

methodology and increase the opportunities of usage so as to strengthen
the training on the basic English usage

English intensive courses during long holidays
