Oxford University International Internships

Le Beaumont Language Centre is proud to be an overseas sponsor for the Oxford University International Internships program. Fiona, who is in charge of this program at the Oxford end, has confirmed this with me over a long distance call today.

Le Beaumont has close affinity with the Oxford University. Prof. Nigel Reeves, OBE, one of our advisors, was an Oxford 1st Class Honours graduate at the age of 19. Sam Chow, Founder of Le Beaumont, completed a certifcate course in Industrial Relations at the Oxford University in 1973. Patrick Carr, an Oxford graduate with a BA,1st Class Honour, and MA degree, developed the prototype for our Gifted Babies program in 2005.

Le Beaumont Language Centre plans to take in 4 graduate interns as native English playgroup teachers. Apart from teaching, they will conduct R & D in early brain development and language acquisition. They will also learn how to manage a new company. The Director and experienced teachers will act as mentors. Some of them may become the backbone for future expansion.

Oxford admission ensures that the young person excels not only in academic studies, but also in leadership and organizing ability. We are looking for fresh graduates who are very fond of babies, who can communicate with them and are willing to dedicate a year to develop the full potential of Beaumont gifted babies.

The Oxford interns will be a big boost to our search for a better understanding of the early brain development and language acquisition. We on our part hope to help future leaders in UK to have a first hand experience of the dynamism, creativity and rigour of Hong Kong and to help them better understand China.
