Speaking Assistance Programme | English Language Centre

If you are a degree or higher diploma student on a UGC-funded programme in the PolyU, then the SAP is for you!!

SAP Service

The Speaking Assistance Programme aims to help students gain the confidence and skills to speak fluently in a variety of university and workplace settings. The programme is based on a negotiated programme. Students are expected to decide what aspect of speaking they would like to focus on before attending a session. The teacher's role is that of guide and feedback provider. Examples of oral topics include: social discussion, debate of a current affairs topic, presentation practice and pronunciation focus. We have a range of materials, games, videos, and worksheets for students to use if they so desire. Alternatively, students may bring their own resources.

Resources

Pronunciation books can be found from the round bookshelf in the CILL open area.

You may also refer to the website for information on speaking skills:

Make an Appointment

Making an appointment
Simply select a timeslot from the ELC Online Booking System. If you have any difficulties, ask one of our counter staff in the CILL to help.

You are welcome to bring friends to your SAP session. Each session can have up to 5 students.

For enquiries, please go to our CILL counter (A305) or call 2766 7526.

Cancelling an appointment

If, for any reason, you cannot attend a WAP/SAP session, you MUST cancel your appointment as soon as possible, at least three days in advance, so that another student can take your time slot. Demand for the WAP/SAP is great, so please be considerate.

NOTE: You will be counted as absent, if you:

do not cancel your appointment,
are over 10 minutes late for a WAP/SAP session.

Students who have been absent twice will not be able to make any advance WAP/SAP bookings for that semester.
