The ECAC hosted the first of a series of student activities on 1 March 2022.  ELC Senior Instructor, Mr. Joshua Lee, conducted a workshop on ‘Learning English through Online/Video Games’ at the ELC language lab.

In the workshop, various ways of how English is used in the gaming platforms were introduced.  Students were given examples of common gaming expressions and phrases used in the gaming discussion forums.  Through audio voice-overs, intonations and pronunciations of gaming expressions were presented.  Students were also shown pointers in changing the language settings in the game apps to keep them protected while engaging in the discussion forums.  They were reminded about maintaining online game safety and managing their game time wisely, giving their studies the utmost priority.

The activity attracted students from the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
