HistoryThe institute originally started as a French language school in Hong Kong, specifically teaching French to small groups of executives. By the 1990s, the founders Dominique and Christian Chasset expanded their business by providing six other language offerings (including, English, Spanish, German, Cantonese, and Japanese), and as well as providing these language classes for children and very young children (from age 2 upwards). ConceptHong Kong Institute of Languages concept was, and still is, to teach only small-group classes. Emphasis is on interaction and oral practice of the language in the class. The focus is on practical language that can be used right away. " In the 1990s, HK KIDZ was established as an extension of HKIL, specifically tailored for young children (age 1.5-12). The HK KIDZ concept has the same foundation as HKIL. For teaching children however, it emphasizes more on "fun,... acquisition of the language being achieved through hands-on activities: games, songs, etc., in the same way that they acquired their mother language." Summer Camps & Language Study ProgrammesHKIL was "the first language school to organize overseas summer camps" in Hong Kong. In 1992, HKIL organized its first overseas summer camp trip to Paris, France, for children and teenagers. By 2008, HKIL extended its summer camp trips/language study programmes to countries including: England, Canada, France, Switzerland, China and Spain. AwardsOne of the founders of HKIL, Christian Chasset, was awarded the "Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Academiques" (Knight in the Order of the Academic Palms), the French Government's highest honour for academic achievement, for advancing the cause of French culture, education, and the fine arts" on May 28, 2007. The co-founder of HKIL, Dominique Chasset, was awarded the Ordre National du Mérite ("Knight of the National Order of Merit"). References{{Refbegin}}
