Public Speaking

Congratulations to my R1 ( Bahasa Melayu Group ) on their effort to do public speaking in English.  I know it's difficult and challenging but you have proved that it can be done . 

Keep it up..!

Jamuan Hari Raya

A Happy Idulfitri to all.... students , lecturers , staffs....
May this year be better than before ....

However..... i was quite shocked to see this in a place where teachers are born.....

Rubbish being thrown. .... but not in the dustbin !! How are these teachers-to-be going to teach their pupils cleanliness when they themselves do not practise it in their everyday lives..? 

I did post about this matter a while back when i took a photo of rubbish on the lid of a closed dustbin ... it seems that this has become a norm rather than a wrongdoing. ... how do i get these trainees to be more alert on the cleanliness of their surroundings..? Any ideas...?

R1 debate

2 of the 6 groups from R1 in a debate...lively...full of confidence  Congratulations.... very  proud of you guys....

This little activity was held to train the learners in public speaking. This is important especially when we're dealing with students who are not TESLians.  The first step is to polish their sense of confidence. It is important that these students have a high degree of confidence because they're using a foreign language and not their mother tongue . It takes a whole lot of guts to deliver your point of view in a language other than your own ..Keep up the good work....
