Now everyone can.. have an English board!

We've listened to the Minister of Education's request to bring back the 'past best practices' on English,
and without hesitation we bring back the English Language Board which had been incorporated in 90's.

Now we're so busy with ICT that we forget this trivial thing does help in English language learning.

I know that some schools don't have much allocation for the English board like below which could cost you a fortune:

So we come up with a better plan which is mostly applicable to all! Click read more.

Environmentally-friendly English Boards

No, I've no idea whether the boards are made from recycled items. 

But I'm sure the information materials are!

Thanks to the English Language Society (ELS) for their creative endeavours in using recycled coloured papers (those which had been used on one side).

The results are magnificent! Please click the link below :))

We managed to fill in the boards of:

Our Kindergarten Journey

Last Monday, a group of thirty-four trainees from the Diploma of Baking & Pastry course had the wonderful experience of visiting Keningau Vocational College's kindergarten for their social service and HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills). The trainees had made full use of the one week break to discuss some activities for the children.

As an English non-face-to-face activity, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to use a field trip experience to support and enhance our current learning into meaningful use of English since trainees would put into practice, all of the language knowledge they've been learning about over the past two semesters.

What makes it more interesting, you ask? They use the English language knowledge by teaching it to their adorable little brothers/sisters. Now they know how fun it is being a teacher! :))

The inspiring bakers are excited to have the opportunity to become the teachers for the day.

Nice to be appreciated, isn't it?

While the intention of having a blog had always been there,

It's the contest that had triggered the single step.. And a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Now the blog is equipped with the news of English activities (which are a lot!), online teaching / marking documents for the lecturers (which is very convenient considering they can access and update the students' marks anytime anywhere), as well as students venue to view their performance (carry marks and final exam results) for English paper.

So, kudos to the ACTION RESEARCH UNIT for the momentum and their brilliant idea!

Speak Your Mind!

At Keningau Vocational, we believe that a community of learners must celebrate students’ strengths, interests and abilities. They need significant opportunities to have their broad and diverse views expressed. Thus, one of the ways is to grant a place (or two) where they can share their wonderful and brilliant thoughts with the college's community.

Family Feud

The form 5 seniors are no longer participating in the co-curricular activities. We're sad that the seniors are no longer around, however, that don't stop us from having fun.

We have Family Feud to fill up the society's slot. So you know, Family Feud is an American game show in which two families compete against each other in a contest to name the most popular responses to a survey question posed to 100 people.

'Jerangkap Syaitan'

In ESL (English Language Society), we always give our full support for the activities conducted by the other clubs in our college. Recently, Nadine Fae (5PPN) and Carl's Evert (4BK) performed a poetry entitled 'Jerangkap Syaitan' (Devil's Ploy). The one day poet competition organized by our club sister, Malay Language Society, is centralizing on drugs abuse.

And guess what? They got the FIRST place!

We're proficient in English, and excellent in Malay. Jealous much?

Strike a Pose!

The English Language Society (ELS) in collaboration with the College Library was proud to organize ‘Strike a Pose!’ photo-shoot session. The event had tested the students’ creativity in promoting Keningau College Library as the knowledge source. It was also in conjunction with the National Reading Month.

Enhancement and amazing activities were being executed with the aims to encourage reading and to expose students to different divisions in the library which sometimes were overlooked. The deeds would cultivate students’ interest in reading as well as empower the college’s library as the hotspot to gain knowledge.

There are two challenges:
