ENGL2105 Internship in English Studies: From Classroom to Workplace (3 units)
- Prerequisite:
- To attend the course briefing session
- Medium of Instruction:
- English
This course provides students an opportunity to gain working experience in firms and organisations relevant to the study of English language and literature. These firms include, but are not limited to, English Education industries, creative writing, media, and publishing. The course integrates and polishes knowledge acquired from classroom learning with workplace experiences at the internship site in local and/or international contexts. Through independent and collaborative work tasks, students will develop affective empathy and improve problem-solving and communication skills. Under the guidance of faculty and workplace supervisors, students will gain transdisciplinary learning and working experiences in different sectors while critically reflecting on knowledge acquired in the classroom. By gaining real workplace experience, students will become more conscious of their strengths, characters, and interests - all in preparation for postgraduate employment.
