Experience:
I chose to study MA in AEL at CUHK because the programme aims at enriching students’ linguistic knowledge which is useful for my daily teaching. During my 2-year part-time study, I took eight courses in which I found Theoretical Linguistics and Psycholinguistics particularly interesting. Theoretical Linguistics deals with topics such as phonetics, phonology, syntax and semantics, all of which help me build up the fundamental understanding of linguistics. I learnt a lot in the course Psycholinguistics about how a language is acquired with reference to how the human brain processes information. I really love these two courses. As a whole, I did enjoy very much studying MA in AEL at CUHK because the teachers I met were all professional in teaching. Not only were their lectures inspiring and practical, but they were also kind and helpful. Besides the good teachers, I also met a group of nice and cheerful classmates who brightened up my life at CUHK.
