I had to think of different angles to take photos. Moreover, I had to edit photo and now I can master Photoshop and Indesign well after creating the newsletter.

Finally, I am glad to see the final outcome of the newsletter.

Making a newsletter is not easy.

It’s important to negotiate with teammates in order to integrate the ideas. As Roshni is a foreigner, I can totally immerse in an English environment during discussions. Actually, I’m glad that we can finish the whole newsletter together!

I had to make sure that my teammates were on the right track. It was not an easy task of handling both of the roles because it took up lots of time in order to put everything together. However, everything has been successfully done the way we thought our newsletter would be.

About AAEPC

x

AAEPC, which is a 2-year programme offered

by the Community College of City University, aims at improving student’s English level for higher study in a range of everyday, academic, and employmentrelated contexts. Students will learn English in advance, for instance, the use of information, communication technologies for academic and professionally related purposes. It will be very different from secondary school. Students have to explain the functions of mass media and language in society and discuss them in the socio-political, cultural and economic contexts in the region and beyond.

Programme Highlight

Text by Ruby

“The expectation of language skill and proficiency is high.

Students need to be strong in language skill.”

- By Maria Fung

Other than language skills, criti-

cal thinking is needed here. Students will have the chance to identify and explore critically problems, gather relevant information, carry out and present basic research under guidance, and propose solutions to problems both individually and as part of a team.

Students really need to think themselves which is totally different from the spoon feeding policy in secondary school.

During these 2 years, students

will learn a lot of useful theories which can be applied both verbally and non-verbally. xy

Q1, What can students get from AAEPC programme?

Pinky:

Not only English level can be improved, but also communication skills and general knowledge. This programme builds a bridge for students to further studies in degree programmes, such as Media, PR and Human resource etc.

Q2, what are the tips for studying in this programme?

Pinky:

Students should train themselves to be sophisticated learners, questioners and listeners. Having consultations with tutors frequently can help clarifying concepts that they are not really unfamiliar with.

Q3, How do you prepare your projects?

Pinky:

The earlier you finish the projects, the earlier you can proofread them! Good time management are needed. Also, many newspapers, books or scholar journals are provided in our school library. You are welcomed to use those resources! xy

H Step 3 The time that we wanted to take

a break, we started taking photos.

For example, the picture above is “sad” and “tired” face. Taking funny photos can help us rest for s while.

Also, we thought of creating the CCCU letters by using our hands.

See how cute we are!
