The ideal path to fulfilling the HSUHK English Language Competency Requirement is:
- Take ENG2000 IELTS Five-Day Workshops, or any other IELTS workshops offered by the ELC to understand the format and requirement of the Test;
- Practice and prepare BEFORE taking IELTS; and
- Take the IELTS (Academic Test).
- ENG2000 is a non-credit-bearing series of workshops.
- ONLY sign up if you can commit to ALL sessions in a group, including the two compulsory IELTS mock practices.
- ENG2000 is on a first-come, first-served basis (Max: 25 students per class).
- NO ADD/DROP will be allowed after module registration.
- Late application will not be considered.
- 100% attendance (15 hours) is required to complete ENG2000. Eng2000 has a 15-minute grace period. If you are more than 15 minutes late, leave early, or are absent during class, your attendance for that session will not be counted. You must submit a doctor’s certificate within 5 school days for sick leave approval.
- If you do not achieve 100% attendance, you will be charged a HK$500 course fee.
- If you have successfully been given a place but do not attend any workshop, you will still be charged a HK$500 course fee.
- Any absence, early leave, or lateness without a legitimate reason means you will not successfully complete ENG2000.
- You will be marked absent if you do not get prior approval from the module teacher for missing any part of a session.
