7 January, 2010 - 7 English teachers gathered for about an hour in the air-conditioned CiTAKU Lab to discuss important matters and plan activities for the year. These energetic and dedicated teachers showed keen interests in exploring new areas and work together hand in hand to achieve success. These are the wonderful and multi-talented teachers too so with this new breed we really hope to add essence to the teaching and learning of English in the school.
Pupils should look forward to a lively year filled with fun activities to compliment the formal classroom teaching. The English Campaign will be carried out the whole year but will be more focussed from April to May this year. English competitions will provide opportunities for all to participate and enjoy learning English the fun way.
The ICTL lessons will go on full swing and our only hope is the computers in our old computer lab will not let us down. Teachers will undergo in-house training programmes to improve on ICT skills. Managing this panel blog is one on their tasks. The teachers are encouraged to start their own educational blog so that they can interact with their own pupils. Today, this new English Blog is launched officially and the teachers have a hand-on experience to explore it excitedly.
Our "Jejak Gemilang" or "Trial of Glory" programmes for both Level 1 and 2 will be carried out and monitored closely. For Level I,it is focussed on vocabulary and grammar. For Level 2 , we stress on writing skills. By the end of the year, we hope to see a mark improvement in pupils' scores in English. During the holidays, a large sum of money was spent to buy 2 sets of Model Essay books and a lot of Teacher's Reference books. Pn Hjh NorHaizan's Yellow Book will not be left out as an important reference for teachers as well as the pupils here.
The panel also has planned to make an educational tour and we hope to make a visit to the Penang British Council and an established English lab either in a cluster school or teaching institute. Well, we hope everything planned will sail on smoothly.
