General Description
The English Corner, closely affiliated with the Language Center, was inaugurated on October 18, 2002 as part of the university’s internationalization drive. Located at the heart of the university in Speech Square, the Corner is an English language enclave and lounge for students, staff and faculty. As a popular haunt for English enthusiasts, the Corner exudes a cyber cafe atmosphere.

The Corner’s role goes beyond its appeal to English language enthusiast, however. Our aim is to serve the entire student body, especially those making up the largest group of student that tends to shy away from English. Therefore, an important objective of the Corner is to empower students, especially the non-enthusiasts with a self actualized desire to learn.

Our strategy is two fold. We begin by offering fun and interesting activities designed to attract students to our sphere of influence. Then by clearly communicating the importance of commanding adequate international language skills, we strive to instill in students a “will” to learn.

These efforts are reinforced in an atmosphere rich in encouragement with the hope that all students will develop higher levels of self-confidence in their abilities to function in all English environments. Ultimately we hope that our shy students, like their enthusiastic counterparts, will “want” to be involved in the Corner.

Once students want to learn and have the self confidence to try, we support their efforts by providing language learning resources that can lead to success. These include a video room, where students can watch films with English subtitles, and three state-of-the-art computers from which students can gain access to the Internet. In addition, BBC World Service is continuously broadcast to keep students informed of the latest world events. Teachers chat with students while they use computers or browse through magazines such as People and Far Eastern Economic Review. Our aim is to ensure that no SHU student is left out of today’s international society because of an English language barrier.
