In collaboration with the HKU Summer Institute, CAES (SFEC) organized SFEC9301 from 6–10 July 2026. The programme is designed to enhance secondary school students’ speaking abilities across a range of contexts. It covers key areas such as pronunciation, helping participants improve clarity, build confidence in speaking, and develop more natural communication skills.

Positive feedback from students upon completion of the programme:
• It offers me an opportunity to practice speaking in realistic scenarios and receive constructive feedback.
• When we finished the presentation as a team, I have learned a great deal. Apart from English‑speaking skills, I also understand how to cooperate with teammates.
• Everyone is sooo nice and the course was really useful.
