BHI English Corner | Omnipotent Artificial Intelligence

English corner

Recently, the Foreign Language Office of Academic Affairs Department of BHI held a sensational English corner at the Swiss Bar. This English corner was sponsored by the National University of Middlesex(UK) and hosted by the Foreign Language Office. Zhao Xiaohan, director of Beijing Office of the National University of Middlesex, and Zhong Dingling, marketing specialist, attended the English corner. This activity attracted students from all grades of BHI to participate, and the teachers of the Foreign Language Office interacted with the participants throughout the entire process.

The biggest feature of this English corner is its integration with AI elements. During the activity, the students spoke freely around the AI topic. BHI Foreign teachers Mr. Simba and Mr. Miguel respectively introduced the development history of AI and its widespread application in daily life to the students, further expanding their horizons and improving their English proficiency.
