Do you want to learn how to study more effectively?
Do you want to further develop
your communication and language skills?
Do you want to equip yourself better
for your future career and the global community?
Welcome to the Independent and Learning Centre (ILC).
Here, we empower students to be indepedent learners
by providing them with extended opportunities
to expand their academic and general knowledge
in a wide range of topics through three main ways:
promote non-formal education,
support formal education,
and reinforce independent learning.
We promote non-formal education
by offering co-curricular activities
for students' whole-person development.
For example, we have The Power of Words
to encourage reading, writing
and appreciation of literature across campus
With selected colleges,
the Peer Mentoring Program provides senior-year students
with training to support first-year students's transition to the university.
Our Language Exchange Program connects students
of different nationalities so they can teach and learn
from each other's first language and home culture.
Besides, the ILC offers both English and Chinese worshops
in the areas of university study skills, success in writing,
public examination preparation and job preparation.
On the ILC workshop page,
you can see we offer a wide range of workshops
on the month-on-month basis.
Second, we support formal education
by collaborating with academic Department and Unit
on the campus.
For example, we collaborate with
the Department of Chinese Language and Literature
in offering self-learning Chinese courses.
We also collaborate with the Office of General Education
in supporting In Dialogue with Nature
and In Dialogue in Humanity
by developing micro-learning module
and online workshops on reflective journal writing
and term paper writing.
To support our research post-graduate students,
we collaborate with the University Library
in offering workshops on dissertation writing,
academic publication, poster presentation
and oral defence.
Most importantly, we reinforce students
the independent learning skills
and address their diverse learning needs
by meeting them individually
or in guided study groups
and recommanding them specific learning resources.
Awesome!
Can the ILC support us in our future career
and prepare us for the challenges beyond graduation?
Absolutely!
We offer online learning resources
for your future career and
participation in the global community.
For instance, we have an online platform
to help you learn and practice languages in Chinese.
The Interview Skills and Development System
will prepare you to shine
in both academic and job interviews.
And our Interacting Across Culture Home and Abroad series
will help you interact with people
in the global community.
Our independent learning resources at the ILC
ensures you can learn anytime, anywhere,
and at your own pace.
