【𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁】𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
For Lydia Zhang, a Year 3 English major at CUHK, learning has always gone beyond the classroom. Supported by a flexible university environment and the Co-op@CUHK, she brought her academic training into a professional setting during her placement at Trip.com Group in Shanghai.

As a Live Streaming Operation Assistant in the product marketing team, Lydia worked closely with colleagues across live streaming operations, content marketing, ranking list marketing, and product launch events. This experience helped her see how communication, content planning, and cross‑team collaboration support business goals, while putting into practice the analytical thinking, organisation and presentation skills developed through her English studies.

CUHK’s emphasis on independence allowed Lydia to shape her own learning path. Alongside her English major, she explored courses in translation and anthropology, broadening her perspective. The career‑focused approach of the Department of English further supported her transition into the workplace through regular presentations, professional writing, and interview training, helping her communicate confidently and work collaboratively.

We are pleased to see Lydia’s curiosity, growth and dedication reflected in her journey. Her experience shows how classroom learning can come to life beyond campus. We wish her every success in the chapters ahead.

The Department of English was delighted to take part in the CUHK Programme Taster Fair 2026 on 18 April, welcoming senior secondary students to experience what studying English at CUHK is like. Throughout the day, we offered three mini‑lectures and hands‑on workshops that showcased the breadth of our teaching and research.

Participants explored how virtual reality can transform language, communication and learning in a VR‑based workshop led by Prof. Wilkinson Gonzales, experienced the creativity of writing in English with Prof. Collier Nogues, and stepped into the world of performance in a drama workshop with Dr Alice Harling and Ms Lilli Chung. These sessions gave students a taste of the interactive, student‑centred learning environment that defines English at CUHK.
