禮。主禮嘉賓黃志光先生

致辭時表示，作為中大畢

業生，此次重訪母校，令

他憶起二十多年前畢業的

情景。他認為近年大學畢

業生會面對更多的挑戰，

主要來自客觀環境的轉

變。首先是，香港回歸

後，本地畢業生需要和內

地及回流的海外畢業生競爭。其次，高等教育普及化，持有

學位的人數大幅增加，在職人士需要不斷進修，方能保持優

勢。還有，資訊科技高速發展，在全球化趨勢帶動下，國與

國之間的競爭加劇，個人不應因循。他忠告同學，務須注意

適應新環境，保持開放態度，目光宜放遠，不可隨波逐流，

並且需具備中國視野。他叮囑同學，應懂得享受生活，拓闊

視野，增廣見聞，在適當時候回饋母校和社會。

The Chinese Univers i ty of Hong Kong

On a sunny Saturday 4 November, a group of scholars from various tertiary institutions in Hong

Kong and other parts of Asia gathered to discuss issues of Englishization in a symposium co-organized by Shaw College and the Comparative Literature Research Programme.

What is Englishization? What has it to do with us in Asia? Questions as such were raised about the theme of the symposium, but things turned out to be exciting on the day the symposium was held. Professor Kwok-kan Tam, the organizer and Director of the Comparative Literature Research Programme at CUHK, was pleased to see a big turn up in the a u d i e n c e b e c a u s e Engl ishizat ion is a social phenomenon that affects the life of so many people. A t n i n e o ’ c l o c k , t h e S h a w C o l l e g e Lecture Theatre was already packed with p a r t i c i p a n t s w h o included academics, government language officers, alumni, students, and teachers from secondary schools.

What is Englishization?Englishization is a term generally used to describe

the transformation which takes place in non-English cultures and languages as a result of exposure to the English language. In literary writings as well as in daily conversation, English phrases and words are adopted and used in new ways which deviate from their meanings in the original language, resulting in the increasing hybridization of languages. Englishization has become one of the major forces that shape the language and culture of the present and future world.

Englishization and CultureThe symposium began with presentations

by Kosaku Yoshino (Sophia University) and Andy Kirkpatrick (Hong Kong Institute of Education), both of which explored Englishization as a new imaginary that has transformed social relations and the production of knowledge in Asia. In the next presentation, Agnes Lam (University of Hong Kong) argued that English has become an Asian language, especially for intercultural poetic expression in India, Singapore and Hong Kong. On the topic of Englishization in popular culture, Andrew Moody (University of Macau) demonstrated

how the population change in Japan has produced a new generation of J-pop lovers. Using slides and videos as illustrations, he showed the creative use of English in Japanese pop songs. The paper jointly presented by Phil Benson and Alice Chik (Hong Kong Institute of Education) focused on the use of English in Canto pop as a marker of new identity. Using the theatre as an example of hybrid culture, Mike Ingham (Lingnan University) discussed the role of English in the culturally pluralistic arts environment of Hong Kong.

Language and IdentityOn the relation between language and identity, there were

three presentations dealing with different aspects of speakers’ attitude. Wee Lian Hee (Hong Kong Baptist University) discussed how English has been successfully nativized in Singapore, while Xu Zhichang (Hong Kong Institute of Education) showed data that demonstrated a significant change in Chinese political leaders’ use of address terms in recent years as a result of Englishization and Westernization. On the matter of identity, Liu Yan and Guo Yingtao (Guangdong University of Foreign Studies) concluded in their presentation that the number of English learners is growing in China, but there is little evidence to prove that students’ core values have been changed. That is to say, English is a medium for international communication in China, but it has not Englishized students’ identity.

T h e s y m p o s i u m p r o v e d t o b e d i f f e r e n t f r o m o t h e r academic conferences in that all presentations turned out to be lively performances and demonstrations of the creative use of English in Asian arts, TV, film, popular culture, and literary writings. The most exciting part of the symposium lay in the dialogue and debates between speakers and the audiences on issues of politics, identity and attitude behind language use. After the symposium, many participants said that they did not expect so much fun in academic discourse and they enjoyed it. Editor’s note: Prof. Kwok-kan Tam is Professor in the Department of English. He is a Trustee and Fellow, and a long-time supporter of Shaw College. He will leave CUHK and join another University. The editorial committee thanks him for his contribution to this issue and wishes him all the best in his new position.

逸夫書院自二零零二至零三學年推出師友計劃，至今

已進入第五年。計劃一直獲校友大力支持，許多

人擔任學長，不少人更是由開始即參與至今。學員由首屆

八十五人增至本年一百七十七人，人數實不斷增加。

書院早前把原有的師友計劃委員會合併到學生發展計

劃委員會中，以便集思廣益，為未來發展加入更多新意。書

院師友計劃的目的旨在鼓勵學長和學員建立「師徒」關係，

學員以學長為學習對象，了解其成功之道，並從學長處獲得

學習、擇業和個人成長的寶貴經驗。參加計劃的學長也可透

過參與，與書院保持聯繫。雖然，計劃以一年為期，但不少

學長學員以後仍有聯絡，維持一種「亦師亦友」的關係。

今年，師友計劃的啟動儀式於十月二十八日（星期六

在本校輔仁中心舉行。出席的學長和學員超過一百人，雖然

初次見面，大家卻談得不亦樂乎。未來數月，師友計劃工作

小組將舉辦不同類型的活動，希望學長學員積極參與，把計

劃辦得更成功。

Shaw College launched its mentorship programme in 2002/03. This is the fifth year that the programme is offered. The College appreciates the enthusiastic support from its alumni who serve as mentors, in particular to those who have

served since the inception of the programme. The number of mentees has been on the increase, from 85 in 2002/03 to 177 in 2006/07.

To collect more views for improvement, the College merged the Mentorship Programmes Committee into the Student Development Programmes Committee some time earlier. The objectives of the college mentorship programme are promoting mentoring relationship between alumni of Shaw College and its undergraduates, to expose students to role models so as to learn through the success of the mentors, to enhance students’ educational, social and personal growth through learning from mentors’ experiences, and to maintain a close link between the college and its alumni. Although the programme is formally on a yearly basis, mentors and mentees are encouraged to continue their mentoring relationship afterwards.

The inauguration ceremony for this year’s Programme was held on Saturday, 28 October at Fu Zung Centre, attended by over 100 mentors and mentees. Most of them met each other for the first time, and yet the atmosphere was amiable. More activities of variety will be held in the coming few months. It is hoped that the mentorship programme would continue to enjoy success year after year.

在四年的大學生活裡，逸夫書院讓我留下了不少美好回憶。藉著參加師友計劃，我不只跟逸夫書院重新聯繫，從與學弟學妹的交流中了解大學及書院的最新發展及當下的流行用語，並且因為跟學弟學妹分享不同人生階段的生活經驗，而得到在職場中不易求得的交心朋友。

My four years university life at Shaw College has left me many wonderful memories. By participating in the Mentorship Programme, I, on the one hand, reconnect with Shaw and on the other hand, through the communications with mentees, I learn about the latest University and College developments. I am also able to share my life experiences with my mentees and make some trustful friends

who are difficult to be found in workplace.

Dr. Randall Chang, Visiting Scholar of Banking, Department of Finance

Prof. Swati Jhaveri, Assistant Professor,

School of Law

New College Members

Dr. Randall Chang said if he could have one wish, it would be to become a young banker again,

and to once again experience all the challenges and opportunities that a banker’s life has to offer.

Dr. Chang was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii as a third generation overseas Chinese. His higher education was in California, and he received his Ph.D. from the Claremont Graduate University. Following that, he became a banker and worked for many years as an executive with the Bank of America, Union Bank of California, and City Bank of Hawaii where he was its president. He then decided to start his own bank consulting company and did this for several years, working both in California and in Hawaii. As part of his work, he organized a new Federal Credit Union and became its CEO. In 2004 he decided to start a second career as a teacher, and so he joined the international faculty of the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies where he taught courses in banking and management. In September of 2006, he joined CUHK where he now teaches undergraduate courses and one MBA course in banking.

To Dr. Chang, life in Hong Kong is very busy and there are so many things to do. He can appreciate the environment here because, compared to his last

two years in Guangzhou, Hong Kong has good air quality and the surroundings are very clean. He especially enjoys the area around our campus with all of its natural beauty of water, hills, mountains, and vegetation. He had visited Hong Kong many times in the past, but it was always on business in the financial district, so he never realized until now that it has a lot of natural scenic beauty.

Dr. Chang finds that students at CUHK are very concerned about the future and take their studies very seriously. They are very ambitious and motivated to succeed. Because he was a banker for many years, he teaches his courses from a practitioner’s viewpoint rather than from an academician’s viewpoint. His students seem to appreciate this as it reflects real business world conditions rather than textbook knowledge.

Dr. Chang like to tell his students that “the world is your oyster”. There are so many opportunities out there, just waiting for bright and motivated people to grasp them.

Professor Swati Jhaveri was born in India and moved to Hong Kong when she was very young.

She received her primary and secondary education in Hong Kong and then went to the UK for tertiary education at the University of Oxford. She studied law there and then practised law in Hong Kong for 4 years. Professor Jhaveri decided very early in her legal education that she want to teach law but wanted to get some practical experience before switching to teaching. She was very excited to learn that CUHK would be establishing a new School of Law. She said it was a privilege to be a part of this exciting new development in legal education in Hong Kong.

Professor Jhaveri enjoys living in Hong Kong and considers it to be her home away from home (India). Hong Kong is a unique place in terms of work, the people and lifestyle. She enjoys the pace and the people that Hong Kong attracts. She also appreciates the convenience of living here. As a legal academic, she also enjoys teaching students about different aspects of our legal system and the case law produced by our courts.

Professor Jhaveri currently teaches postgraduate students on the JD and LLM postgraduate programmes at the School of Law. She has found the students to be a very bright and engaging. They come from very diverse backgrounds and this makes classroom discussions interesting and varied. They have studied different disciplines prior to studying law (ranging from computer engineering to political science) and have, accordingly, developed different ways of thinking about things and it is refreshing to encounter these different thought processes in the classroom.

Prof. Gary Yam, Assistant Professor, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences

Professor Gary Yam was born and raised in HK. He did his undergraduate studies at the Department of Biology, CUHK,

and went on to do his M.Phil in the Department of Anatomy. He worked for three years as a research technician before doing a PhD programme (part-time) in Anatomy. He then joined the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences for his first postdoctoral position, and later found an opportunity to work with Professor Juergen Roth, a world-renowned specialist on electron microscopy, in Zurich, Switzerland. He stayed for four years as a Research Assistant Professor before he rejoined CUHK as an assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. Due to his long history of studying and working at CUHK, he is very delighted to rejoin this family and will try his best to contribute to the interests of CUHK students.

Speaking of his students at CUHK, Professor Yam thinks that many of them have high academic standards. They are a hard-working and intelligent group, and have an excellent attitude towards

attaining both academic and social achievements, both of which go hand-in-hand to ensure their future success. This could be credited to the style of Hong Kong education and the University environment which provides a good atmosphere for learning. Personally, he also feels that the integrative hostel environment is a crucial setting for networking and nurturing long-term friendships.
