【ECAC-ELC 】Photo Sharing : “Developing Confidence in Presentation Workshop”

2024-05-31T00:02:11+08:00

The ECAC-ELC workshop entitled “Developing Confidence in Presentation Workshop”, by Ms. Miranda Gao, ELC Visiting Instructor, was a big success.

In the beginning, the instructor commented that everyone has stage phobia and it is very common in our life especially on campus. Due to this, most students need to prepare for presentations, and having a good attitude is necessary for a presentation. The instructor then gave each participant a piece of paper and asked them to list the top 5 things they were afraid of in a presentation. Not surprising, most of our problems are similar, such as fear of forgetting the script, afraid of leaving our audience a bad impression about our English proficiency, and so on. Ms. Gao then taught us different ways to think about things we are afraid of. For example, nobody knows what we want to say so we should not be scared of it. Then she showed us 8 pictures and asked us to make a brief statement and let others guess which picture we wanted to express. This method helped us to open our heart and try to spontaneously speak in public. Afterwards, the participants watched some short videos about how to calm down before giving a presentation and how a positive posture can give us energy. The workshop ended with a Q&A session where other teachers also gave participants some advice.

This workshop was held in the mid-term and it was just the right time for students to deal with our study problems.

【ECAC-ELC 】Photo Sharing : “British Scone Baking Workshop”

2024-04-05T00:00:23+08:00

“HAPPY NEW YEAR” to everyone! Bathed in the merry atmosphere, teachers and students were pleased to see their scones baked in the British scone baking workshop organized by the English Co-Curricular Activities Committee (ECAC) on February 28, 2024. The workshop was conducted by Ms. Joan Leong and Ms. Teresa Lam, Senior Instructors of the English Language Centre (ELC), and was held at Moon Chun Memorial College (MCMC).

At the beginning of the workshop, participants were shown a video about the recipe and procedure of make cheese scones.  After that, they had the opportunity to experience making scones by themselves.  Provided with the ingredients, students collaborated in groups and offered helping hands to each other, filling the room with enjoyment, laughter, and the sweet smell of scones in the ovens.  While the scones were being baked, students learned the history and culture of enjoying this traditional food as a quintessential part of the afternoon tea in British culture.  They also learned the different pronunciation of the word ‘scone’ from different regions in the UK.  Participants actively took part in the competition to test their knowledge. 

The activities gave participants the experience in making the world’s easiest cheese scones, and ended with students enjoying the delicious scones baked by themselves.  Students left with happy memories of their experience and were excited to know that the next ECAC activity is on its way!  The ECAC student ambassadors actively assisted the hosts and played an important role in the success of the workshop.
