June at UEH English Zone - Out of sight, but not out of mind
26 Jun, 2024
As summer vacation 2024 arrives, UEH English Zone has organized a variety of activities to help UEHers improve their English skills. To ensure geographical distance is no longer an obstacle, these activities are flexibly conducted online across various platforms to provide the most dynamic English environment for students.
Discover an Exciting Online Platform with UEH English Zone
Goodbye to the familiar platform Gather Town, the well-known pixelated virtual world that has connected UEH English Zone with students. This year, EZ introduces a fresh breeze with a new platform to make online activities more interesting. EZ has chosen Topia, with its cool ocean-themed interface, to refresh the summer heat. Students have expressed their excitement participating in activities on this platform.

EZ Boardgames - An Intellectual Playground and Team-Building Space
Famous for bringing English board games to the UEH student community, EZ did not disappoint students this June by selecting two extremely challenging and thrilling board games: Monopoly and Spyfall.
With Monopoly, students had the opportunity to develop strategic thinking, negotiation, and effective English communication skills to "seal the deal" on various properties on the board. With Spyfall, students experienced tense and exciting moments as "detectives" and "spies" used their reasoning and English expression skills to uncover the liar in the group.

EZ Talks - Sharing and Spreading Positive Energy This Summer
At EZ Talks, EZ aims to give students the chance to express their views on deep, directly relevant topics to their lives. This June, EZ presents two fascinating talk topics: "Gen Z Unfiltered" and "The Soundtrack Of Life". The EZ Talks "Gen Z Unfiltered" provided an authentic view of Generation Z with their unique differences, perspectives, and lifestyles. Meanwhile, "The Soundtrack Of Life" allowed students to share their favorite movies and songs while honing their English skills through engaging entertainment topics.
