本期Radio708我們邀請了來自時裝設計系獲得獎學金并前往米蘭學習的楊妍嫣同學，和在眼睛設計比賽中獲得冠軍的陳衛牟同學，跟我們分享他們的學習心得。

米蘭，這座具有國際都市風範的城市，不僅充滿了無限的活力，而且延續了無窮的創新精神。

米蘭的學習之旅不僅讓楊同學感受到濃濃的時尚與文化氣息，而且還深入了解時尚造型的過程，提高了她的設計創作能力，探索并發現自己的風格，從而讓時尚融入個人的生活

而於「第18屆香港眼鏡設計比賽」中，憑藉作品「追憶」勇奪學生組比賽冠軍的陳同學有感都市人工作繁忙，難得與家人在餐桌前共進晚餐，共享天倫之樂，遂於作品滲入港人日常家具元素—摺枱，他設計時在眼鏡臂添上木紋，鼻托和鏡框接駁位則模仿摺枱鐵造的部份，用以提醒佩戴者多回家吃飯和多花時間關顧家人。通過參加這次比賽，陳同學有了更多與業界人士交流的機會，更了解到設計行業的最新發展，大大提升其設計意念和技巧。

讓我們一起聆聽他們的獲獎感言！懇請各位同事更我們的學生宣傳這期節目！觀看視頻請點擊：別忘了鼓勵同學到Facebook 參與問答環節：感謝您的支持！ Radio708

International Fortnight – Opening Ceremony

With all the activity at HKDI/LWL during the International Fortnight, we thought it would be great to go talk to some folks about their experiences in cross-cultural learning. Our two roaming correspondents, Ernest and Florin, went into the heart of the action to hear from a range of students and staff.

First, they speak to some international students about the struggles and successes they’ve had as non-native Cantonese speakers living in Hong Kong. They urge fellow students in a similar situation to get over their shyness, and just try to speak a little Cantonese whenever they can.

Next, Ernest and Florin secure an exclusive interview with LC Centre Head Carol Sze for her very first Radio 708 appearance. She discusses some excellent strategies for improving one’s Cantonese and for integrating into Hong Kong culture. Carol also suggests the power of the internet should be something all students should be taking advantage of when it comes to language acquisition.

After that, they speak to the new Academic Director of the Languages Discipline, Gary Au, about his own language-learning journey. Spoiler alert: the key to learning English may just be a steady diet of 1980s reggae music. He also discusses how technology is changing how young people learn.

Finally, Dr. Albert C. Cheuk, the Principal of Youth College, talks about the value of real-life, immersive learning situations, and how they can complement what is taught in the classroom. He also gives some suggestions on easy ways to improve your English without spending hours in the library. The good news is that you can explain to your parents that watching TV is actually homework! (As long as it’s in English)

It was enlightening to get such different perspectives. The theme across all the interviews seems to be that finding ways to use English (or language you want to learn) in your everyday life is the best way to become more confident.

Thanks to all who participated, and especially to Ernest and Florin for their hard work and wonderful interviewing style.

15 – 17 June 2015

As an international event started in 2007 and jointly hosted by the Vocational Training Council (VTC) and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) of Singapore on a biennial basis, our overseas friends and our students gathered at HKDI this year again for The International Student Seminar (ISS). The seminar aims to provide participating students with a platform to exchange ideas on global issues through diversified activities including presentations, exhibitions, performances and cultural/ industrial visits. Over 600 participants took part in the ISS in Hong Kong between 15 and 17 June 2015.

Radio 708 team walked around the campus on the second day of the event and interviewed some vibrant and energetic students. Let’s hear how they feel about this exciting event and Hong Kong.
