Mr Michael Tien, Chairman of the Steering Committee on the Workplace English Campaign, said that the "One Minute's English" programme would help raise public interest in the learning of workplace English.
"Leaning workplace English could be quick and easy. I hope this programme would help people acquire a useful grasp of English conversation skill for their everyday use," he said.
