Feedback from Participants CALIS 2019
Undoubtedly, I’ve learned so much from this precious experience and have broadened my horizon to a great extent. To see, to learn and to make progress, which the CALIS program aims at, are just the right things to do.
I surprisingly found that my English had improved a lot during the trip, especially English listening and speaking.
I become more confident. I was not afraid of wrong pronunciation and wrong answers as before. I just expressed my ideas and thoughts bravely. I think it was a really important change for me.

Feedback from Participants CALIS 2019
On the whole, it was a remarkable month. I enjoyed the sight seeing and substantial interaction with peoples from different walks of life.
The schedule was tight but it was fruitful. I made friends with the local people become more independently. I really appreciate the opportunity provided by CityU.

Feedback from Participants CALIS 2019
It was a good trip for us to know more about ourselves……. what we want and how to improve…. like to become more independent. Because we were not in Hong Kong. Without our parents, we need to take care of ourselves….. like how to cook, do the laundries and most of all, it’s to make important decisions like managing the spending.
Finally, I will recommend all students to participate in this meaningful trip, not only to learn English, but also to enjoy the amazing British culture in Summer.
