Miss Chinese Vancouver 2025 Sophia Yin Shares Her UBC Cantonese Journey
2025 溫哥華華裔小姐殷千葉分享大學粵語學習之旅

When Miss Chinese Vancouver 2025 was crowned, the UBC Cantonese Language Program had an extra reason to celebrate. This year’s pageant winner, Sophia Yin, is not only a proud alumna but also a former Teaching Assistant (TA) who mastered the language right here on campus. In a recent sit-down interview with our Work Learn student Andy Yeung, Sophia reflected on how her time in UBC’s Cantonese courses sparked her cultural curiosity, built her confidence on stage, and set the foundation for her exciting next chapter.

當殷千葉 Sophia Yin 榮膺 2025 溫哥華華裔小姐冠軍時，卑詩大學粵語課程都多咗一個值得慶祝嘅理由。Sophia 不但係粵語課程舊生，更曾擔任粵語課程嘅教學助理（Teaching Assistant, TA），而佢一口流利粵語，正係喺校園一步一步學返嚟嘅。最近 Sophia 接受我哋 Work Learn 課程助理學生 Andy Yeung 專訪，回顧自己修讀卑大 粵語課程嘅經歷。佢分享咗呢段學習旅程如何燃起佢探索自身文化嘅好奇心、增強佢踏上舞台嘅自信，並為人生精彩嘅下一章奠下基礎。

【UBC】The Yip So Man Wat Memorial Lecture 屈葉素文女士紀念講座 remains an essential part of the UBC Asian Studies department’s programming, with the 2025/26 iteration taking place this past March. As a part of the Cantonese Language Program’s 10th anniversary celebrations, the 2026 program featured two distinguished guests specializing in Cantonese Linguistics: Professor Virginia Yip 葉彩燕教授, who serves as the Director of the Childhood Bilingualism Research Centre at The Chinese University of Hong Kong 香港中文大學 - CUHK, and Emeritus Professor Stephen Matthews 馬詩帆教授 of The University of Hong Kong. The duo has published the most comprehensive Cantonese grammar books written in English, many of which are adopted as textbooks of Cantonese language courses at UBC and across the globe.
The video recording of the public lecture titled “The Cantonese heritage and the heritage child” can be found at https://asia.ubc.ca/news/the-cantonese-heritage-and-the-heritage-child-highlights/.

The University of British Columbia Cantonese Language Program presents the Cantonese Teaching Roundtable at the 2026 Vancouver Hong Kong Fair. This special event brings together educators, learners, community members to explore key issues in Cantonese input and learning, transmission, and assessment in diaspora contexts.

Through three featured sessions—covering Cantonese input methods and digital literacy, intergenerational language transmission across home, school, and community, and professional pathways in Cantonese teaching and oral proficiency assessment—participants will gain practical insights and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of Cantonese education.

Whether you are a heritage learner, teacher, parent, or simply passionate about preserving Cantonese language and culture, we warmly welcome you to join us.

Free admission. Seats are limited. Please register now before they are sold out!
