香港樹仁大學語言中心(Language Centre)自2018年10月啟用以來,一直為同學提供中、英文語文諮詢服務,以及舉辦講座、外語學習班和讀書會等活動,藉以提升同學對語言的興趣和語文運用能力。受新型肺炎疫情影響,大學雖停止面對面授課,但語言中心利用ZOOM繼續為同學提供諮詢服務。
Language Centre (English Section) 語言中心 (英文部)
Owing to the Coronavirus outbreak and the cancelation of all face-to-face instruction, the English Section of the Language Centre announced in late February that language consultation started to go online.
In an interview with Shue Yan Newsletter, Dr. YAM Pui Suen Josephine, Associate Head of the Department of English Language and Literature expressed that in order to continue to provide language consultation for students who aimed to improve their English in various aspects, the English Section decided to use ZOOM to let them meet the language consultants of the Centre.

The online service is a 15-minute one-on-one consultation, including:
- academic writing skills
- critical reading strategies
- listening
- speaking and pronunciation
- presentation skills
According to Dr. YAM, students can make an appointment with the language consultants at languagecentre@hksyu.edu (Subject: Language consultation), including the date and time they would like to join.
In addition to the language consultation, APA style citation workshop is also provided by the English Section. The APA style consultation consists of two parts: (1) APA style guide – 30 mins; (2) questions from students – 15-20 mins. Two sections were held in March. The same kind of workshop will be provided again soon.
In order to arouse students’ interest in language learning, the English Section also organizes the “Jungman’s Korean Language Consultation”, hosted by a postgraduate student who is a native speaker of Korean and worked as Korean teacher before.
Students who want to learn or practice the Korean language, or are interested in knowing about the Korean culture are welcome to meet this ‘Oppa’ on Zoom. The time is Monday at 12 noon to 3 PM. Students can make an appointment or ask for more information at languagecentre@hksyu.edu.
Dr. YAM said the English Section would continue to host different activities, including language consultation, foreign language workshops, book clubs, film viewing and foreign language courses, for students to enhance their language skills and widen their experience in language learning.
語言中心 (中文部)
語言中心(中文部)總監、中文系助理教授伍鈞鈞博士接受《樹仁簡訊》訪問時表示,受疫情影響,同學在農曆新年假期後,不能到位於研究院綜合大樓RLG104室的語言中心使用語文諮詢服務。因此,語言中心(中文部)在得到中文系老師的支持後,決定由3月起利用ZOOM繼續提供諮詢服務。
按照語言中心(中文部)的規劃,4月份共安排了3個語文諮詢服務時段(見表),同學可以通過掃描海報上的二維碼或電郵 languagecentre@hksyu.edu 報名。
語文諮詢服務範圍除了檢查並糾正錯別字和語法錯誤、分享學術論文寫作技巧外,還包括文學欣賞與創作技巧分享,演講技巧分享,以及語言、文學、哲學、歷史、文化專題討論。至於具體的分享交流內容,則視乎當值老師的研究興趣而定。

伍鈞鈞博士表示,如果有同學來不及預早報名,也可以在當天進入Moodle「Language Centre」的版面,通過點擊公布的ZOOM會議邀請連結,接觸當值老師;不過,如果有同學正與老師對話,或有預約同學輪候,臨時加入的同學便要稍作等候。
伍博士又表示,在3月份,中文系的孫凱昕博士和許建業博士也分別在3月9日和31日提供了合共4個小時的語文諮詢服務。
關於對未來的展望,伍博士表示,語言中心(中文部)計劃舉辦更多多元化的活動,提升同學對語文的興趣,構思中的工作坊和講座包括文藝欣賞、微型小說創作、漢語方言、學術論文研讀與寫作、演說藝術等。
