Students from the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies (CBS) have achieved outstanding results in two national competitions.
CATTI’s National News Editing and Translation Competition
Wang Jingwen, an MA in Translating and Interpreting student, won the Second Award in the University (English) category. Sun Jiakun, an undergraduate in our BA(Hons) in Linguistics and Translation (BALT) programme, secured the Third Award in the same category.
The Competition was held earlier in December 2024. Unlike traditional translation competitions, this event emphasised innovation in its format and content selection. Participants were required not only to accurately understand and translate the original text but also to process and edit the content.
National English-Speaking Contest for University Students
Zhao Yunci and Sun Jiakun, a Year-2 and a final-year BALT student respectively, won Second Awards in the National English-Speaking Contest for University Students. Organised by the China General Chamber of Commerce, the competition featured two categories: English Major Group and Non-English Major Group, with preliminary and final rounds. The event attracted students from universities across the country.
Dr Maggie Hui, Teaching Fellow in the CBS, provided professional guidance to these students. Dr Hui was awarded the title of “Outstanding Instructor” in the National English-Speaking Contest.
