Postgraduate students are required to disseminate their complex research effectively, both within academia (e.g., conferences, seminars) and beyond (e.g., industry interviews, public engagement). This programme addresses the critical need for advanced oral communication skills by moving beyond general English to focus on the specific linguistic, rhetorical, and paralinguistic demands of the postgraduate experience. Therefore, the Graduate School of The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong offers English Enhancement Course for postgraduate students to help them improve their English proficiency.

Programme aims to:

• Equip students with the strategies to structure and deliver clear, coherent, and engaging academic presentations
• Develop students' ability to adapt complex academic content for different audiences, including non-specialists in professional settings
• Foster confidence and fluency through practices, personalised feedback, and critical self-reflection
• Enhance active listening skills for improved participation in academic discourse and Q&A sessions

Expected Outcomes:
By the end of the programme, students will:

• Demonstrate improved fluency, clarity, and coherence in oral presentations.
• Apply active listening strategies in interactive and academic settings.
• Deliver structured speeches showcasing effective verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
• Gain confidence and transferable presentation skills for future professional contexts.
