LST is making great strides in several directions. Resources are needed to support a range of initiatives to serve the local community, such as improving the quality of speech therapy services  to patients in need, researching and coping with ageing-related neurocognitive decline, and helping SLCS (Second Language Chinese Speaking) learners of South Asian descent to acquire vernacular Cantonese and written Chinese.

Apart from government funding, including competitive research and teaching enhancement grants obtained by our hardworking academic and teaching staff, the Department relies on the good will of donors and our alumni who identify with our mission and vision, and who are willing to grant us their generous support.
