Carmen

My name is Carmen and I’m studying BEd(EL). Working here has taught me a lot, such as getting a deeper insight into the language system of Cantonese, how to use software to edit voice tracks, and how to be more considerate and careful as a researcher. I’m very grateful to get an internship and be one of the members of CRLLS this summer holiday, I'd like to thank my colleagues for giving me such a valuable experience at CRLLS.

I’m Nicole and I’m currently studying BEd(EL). I’m thankful for having the opportunity to work as an intern at CRLLS during the summer break. My major responsibility has been assisting with the infant study. I’ve gained a vast amount of valuable experience during the internship such as learning about what is involved with conducting research and understanding more the concerns of researchers when running a study. I want to thank everyone who patiently helped guide us interns. The knowledge I’ve gained from this internship will not only be useful for my university studies, but also for the rest of my life as an educator.
