Empowering Language Competence and Professional Communication through an AI-based Language Laboratory (ALL)(T02/QESS/2024)

Overview
This project will establish an AI-based Language Laboratory (ALL) at Hong Kong Shue Yan University to boost students’ English and Chinese writing skills. The ALL includes an online AI platform for personalized writing support and a physical lab for workshops and training. There has been an urgent need to raise language proficiency among students, particularly those attending self-financing tertiary institutions in Hong Kong, where lower language proficiency is prevalent. This project seeks to bridge these gaps by delivering genre-specific AI resources and providing targeted training on AI tools, empowering both students and teachers. The ultimate aspiration is to foster language mastery and genre adaptability, thereby advancing students' academic success and enhancing their future employability.

Project Objectives
  • Identify, centralize, and utilize AI learning resources and learning tools to enhance students' writing proficiencies in both Chinese and English.
  • Design and utilize AI Chatbots to facilitate and improve students’ writing skills of various genres in courses including but not limited to First Year Chinese I/II, English Usage I/II, and English Writing I/II.
  • Organize training workshops for students and teachers to enhance students' proficiency in using AI instruments properly to enhance writing skills.
  • Conduct interdisciplinary evaluations and research in AI-powered language education.
  • Disseminate the experiences and knowledge gained from the establishment of the ALL to teachers, students, and the general public to further facilitate students' writing capabilities and teachers’ teaching methods.

Developing a One-stop Cloud-based Resource Platform for Industrial Attachment (OCRPIA) (IA01/QESS/2024)

Overview
This project aims to establish the One-Stop Cloud Resource Platform for Industrial Attachment (OCRPIA) as a centralized digital hub at Hong Kong Shue Yan University to coordinate industrial attachment programs and work-related co-curricular activities. The center has three core functions: (1) as an e-Portfolio Builder for aggregating career development data, (2) as an e-Connector for fostering digital-era industry partnerships, and (3) as an e-Learner module delivering technology-enhanced vocational training. This project addresses the need for integrated career preparation by unifying fragmented industrial attachments and co-curricular activities through cloud-based coordination of academic departments and support units.
