As part of the Language & Communication programme’s 2009 revamp, the Language and Communication Internship Scheme (LCIS) was launched in 2010. LCIS provided opportunities for L&C students to broaden their undergraduate education through experiential learning via non-credit-bearing internships. LCIS experiences spanned a diverse array of fields, including English education, curriculum and materials development, editorial and publishing, reading and literacy, literary events, research and database management, as well as event organisation, PR and marketing, and the (new) media. Host organisations included the Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection, Flatcap Asia, the Hong Kong International Literary Festival, the Hong Kong International Young Readers' Festival, Hong Kong Reads, Hong Kong University Press, iLearner, Kerry Group Kuok Foundation's Little Trekkers Learners Club, the Man Asian Literary Prize, and Surround App.

We are very pleased that several of these host organisations have continued their partnership with us in our current credit-bearing capstone internships. Thank you for your support!
