Blogger

Today during Housekeeping, the principal announced that all GC must have a blog.
She mentioned me and said I should have one too, since I just got myself a big lap top;)
Well, I informed her that I do have a blog and there are not many updates...probably just one page.
Since she has encouraged us...I promise myself that I will faithfully update my blog, especially during the end of year holidays.
Yes, I will have followers...and I will make it worth their while to open my blog page.
That is ambitious, but we have to start somewhere and must have high aspiration.

My dear followers...welcome to my blog:)

English in Camp - abstract for presentation

Abstract

The English Language is a subject that requires the students to use it frequently to enable them to be fluent.  Problem arises when students shy away from using it in their daily lives as they are afraid of being ridiculed by their friends or feel embarrass to use the language as they are not confident in their ability to speak the language fluently.  In school, we teachers have to come up with innovative ways to attract students to love the English language, thus motivating them to use the language.  English in Camp is one way to inculcate the love of English amongst students.

English in Camp is the gathering of targeted students who are confined to a designated place to participate in the activities planned.  While doing so, students are instructed, encouraged and motivated to use the English language in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.  The objectives of the programme include inculcating the love of the English language in the participants.  Furthermore the programme is engineered to stimulate the students' interest in the English language as it promotes learning outside the classroom context.  Through participation in the camp, students' self-concept, self confidence and self esteem are enhanced. This paper presents guidelines on getting started and carrying out the programme.
