The TOE Video

Acknowledgements

This project was funded by the University Grants Committee (Teaching Development Grant). Without their support, which we gratefully acknowledge, the project would not have come into being.

For help received during the initial stages of the project, we would like to thank the Student Affairs Office (HKUST) and the Office of Academic Programme Administration (HKUST). And for providing locations for the filming of the video, we would like to thank the Department of English (HKU), the External Relations Office (HKU) and the Hong Kong Catering Company.

We are grateful to the staff at the following companies who generously shared their time and expertise with us: Arthur Andersen, Goldman Sachs, and the MTRC (at the planning stages); Andersen Consulting and Merrill Lynch (at the piloting stage). We would also like to thank the many students who shared their interview experiences with us and provided feedback on the video and User's Guide. Both employers and future employees were extremely helpful.

We received very useful feedback on a pilot version of the User's Guide from a number of colleagues, and would like to thank them here: Martha Lam, Pansy Lam, Nick Noakes, Keith Tong, Ellen Tsang and Elza Tsang (Language Center, HKUST); Dr Patrick Chau (Associate Dean, School of Business and Management, HKUST); Brian Cheng (Student Affairs Office, HKUST); Dr David Gardner (English Center, HKU); Jane Wong (English Department, CityU); Dr Fiona Hyland (School of Education and Languages, OUHK); Dr Grahame Bilbow (Department of English, PolyU); Bruce Morrison (Center for Independent Language Learning, PolyU); Dr Eva Lai (Independent Learning Center, CUHK); Johanna Klassen and Philip Milton (Professional Development and Quality Services, CityU).

This program is designed for tertiary students who are applying to companies that hold interviews wholly or partly in English. The project was a collaboration between members of the Language Center at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and members of the Courseware Development Laboratory (formerly Interactive Multimedia Development Laboratory) at City University of Hong Kong (CityU). It was funded by the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong (Teaching Development Grant).

We are very grateful to the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong (Teaching Development Grant), who funded the project. We are also indebted to the Human Resources Managers and other staff at the following companies: Goldman Sachs; Merck, Sharp & Dohme; Merrill Lynch; Motorola; Ove Arup; and Shell. They added a vital ingredient to the program, making it possible for interviewees to hear the opinions of those on the other side of the interview room. Our thanks of course go to all those who have participated in the project over the past few years - if we've overlooked you in the credits below, let us know! Finally, we would like to thank: Brian Cheng (Student Affairs Office, HKUST) for providing contacts and encouragement; Dr Gilberte Furstenberg (Foreign Languages & Literatures, MIT) for inspiration; and Dr John Milton (Language Center, HKUST) and Dr David (English Center, HKU) for detailed comments on earlier versions of the program.
