Among the objectives of the programme were to encourage students to
learn English language in a fun way through games and activities, and to
enhance their abilities to deliver and speak confidently. They were also able
to widen their English vocabulary. Students who were assigned as the
facilitators were able to develop their generic skills such as leadership and
problem-solving skills. Facilitators managed to conduct the language games in
English confidently and interact with the participants.
There were four (4) games conducted at the school namely Tongue Twister
Race (Reciting the lines properly while going through obstacles), Poisonous
Grammar (identifying parts of speech in given situations), Paste the
Picca/Pictures (pasting pictures to create proper sentence structure) and
finally, Snake & Ladder and Bingo (answering grammar questions). The lecturers
and facilitators from PIS arrived at SMK Bandar Seri Alam about 8:00 am.
Participants were grouped at the school’s open hall; 10 groups consisting of 6
members in each group. The day started with an ice-breaking session followed by
Tongue Twister Race and Poisonous Grammar respectively. The first two (2) games
were conducted in the field. The last two (2) games were then conducted in the
indoor hall (Dewan Budiman). Students were given the tasks instructed by the
facilitators and the former had to complete them successfully. Each activity
was facilitated by the assigned facilitators. The activities ran concurrently.
It was a competition and winners were selected based on the highest points
earned from all four (4) games.
The activities were also conducted by the facilitators concurrently in
order to get everyone involved. Students had fun completing all the tasks. The
activities managed to challenge their capability to speak well in the language.
The PIS lecturers and facilitators arrived at Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan at
about 1:00 pm on the same day. The involvement of facilitators and participants
from the school helped strengthen the relationship with one another and
motivated the students from both institutions to constantly improve their
English proficiency. From this programme, students had the opportunity to learn
and use language in the most interesting way. Ultimately, the programme
instills their love for English Language.
