The Learners' Club and Mentoring Support Service

The Learners' Club was established in September, 1991 with two objectives:
first is to enable members to improve their thinking and learning skill
through participation in different kinds of seminar, workshop and study
groups. The second is to help in improving student teacher relationship
through a mentoring system. We have about five hundred members every year.

The Club located at the west wing of the Oen Hall Building. There are three
rooms: the Multimedia Room (W702), the Quiet Room (W703) and the Project
Room (W705) which serve different functions. In 1992, we have added a
variety of new facilities in the three Club Rooms. We have a mini-library in
Room W702 which offers daily newspapers, recent copies of Chinese and
English magazines and books which concentrated in three areas: Language
Enhancement, Study Skills, Whole Person Education. The Quiet Study Room is
situated at Room W703 where club members can read, take notes and work
individually. Students who want to discuss a study topic or a project, they
can use Project Study Room (W705) which is designed for such purposes.

We also organized various club activities during last four years. We had the
language enhancement camps, English conversation groups, Putonghua
conversation groups, Learners' Salon programs, workshops on successful job
applications, special seminars on China, Chinese and English application
letters writing workshops etc.

Starting from September 1995, we developed a mentoring team to support the
academic staffs who voluntarily joined the new student orientation program
named University 101-2. Now we have already had ten teachers and two
administrative staffs joined the group.

The University 101-2 program provided four different skillful lectures for
students included Study Skill, Time-Management, Writing Enhancement and
Life-Long Planning.  We have had above thirty students registered at this
program.  They come on every Thursday at the noon time and we serve lunch
for them.

If you want to join us please come to our counter in Room W702 and fill in a
registration form.  The membership fee for one year is $20 which is used to
support the tea-reception expenditure.  For any enquiry, please call
(852)2339-7233;(852)2339-7824 or fax: (852)2336-5864.
