| Zhuhai secondary school English teachers came to UIC to enhance their English skills and get new teaching ideas. Some of them performed the drama The Butterfly Lovers, a traditional love story from China, at the closing ceremony of the fifth Zhuhai English Teachers Training Programme on 25 July. Other activities, such as choral speaking and mock classes, showed the trainees’ great progress in English. |

| Mr Yu Xianze, Director of the Research Centre of Zhuhai Education Bureau, spoke highly of the programme which was supported by the centre and UIC’s Centre for Advanced Professional Studies. Such programme has been held at UIC for five consecutive years, and this year, 67 English teachers from 57 secondary schools relished this special opportunity. |

| Jessica Steinbauer and Alex James from UIC’s English Language Centre presented the trainees with Certificates of Outstanding Participants Awards, after a completion of the 12-day training programme. |

| In addition to lessons on academic reading and writing, the trainees worked on curriculum design, culture understanding, choral speaking and other innovative approaches to further improve their capabilities of English teaching. |
