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.

A.I.M. NOT Anugerah Industri Muzik, kids!

Mr Sirhajwan and Mr Ibrahim attended a convention on the 31st of August (Sat). The story goes like this: Out of thousands of English teachers, one of the English teachers had been selected by the State Department and Ministry of Education for a 6 week study tour of America and had analyzed the great American Dream and its validity especially to secondary educators worldwide. 

Do you think you can spot us among the other hot English language educators?

It's on the news the next day!

Guten Morgen! We geht es dir?

Anna Lena & Anni Reichert from Germany are on their social service for one month beginning Feb, the 4th. The students as well as the guests would benefit from cultural diversity as they're being exposed to different languages, traditions, holidays and food (read till the end of this post, we've a surprise for you!).

The Storybook Project (British Council)

It's a collaboration with British Council, involving the secondary school students to visit primary school to conduct an investigation on their interest, and develop a story based on it. Our students visited the rural school, and conducted games on year 1 and 2 before interviewing them.

"Great to see. It would be great to see more literacy projects such as these as literacy is the foundation of learning ... in English." -Sandra Randall, a British teaching in Malaysia

These pictures were taken from the second trip to the school where students performed storytelling to the primary school kids.
