The CTL Booster Camp ’08 is a CTL activity funded by the FHS First Year Experience Scheme Fund with the aim of improving students’ learning attitude and motivation. For the 2-day get-together of teachers, student mentors, students, and alumni, all from CTL at a beautiful camp site, Sai Kung Outdoor Training Camp, we have planned a variety of activities there: film show, reading experience sharing sessions, language games, group discussion, BBQ, role play and group presentation, and outdoor orienteering.

The Camp was intended as a “booster dose” (like the second injection to those who have got hepatitis vaccination) to first year and senior year students after attending class for a semester. We think that it is time to give them some suggestions on learning and reading through a variety of meaningful activities.

A number of colleagues have participated in the camp and contributed by writing book recommendations and short inspiring pieces to motivate students to read and learn. They also made valuable suggestions in various aspects. In addition, we are glad that we have a group of dedicated student mentors to organize the camp. This Camp Book is indeed an evidence of concerted efforts of CTL teachers and students. Lastly, we are most grateful to the support of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Department of CTL.

The pdf version of the campbook will be available in the website shortly, as well as the pictures.

Please come back later and share our joy and happiness.
