About PSDE
(General Perspective)
Since its inception in 2013, PSDE practices the 4Cs (Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity).  PSDE’s objectives are formulated in accordance to Framework for 21st Century Learning, developed by Partnership for 21st Century Learning http://www.p21.org/ as the team believe that students should be given the opportunity to empower the students particularly in their language learning.
PSDE team continuously strive to implement a wide range of language activities to improve students’ English fluency and increase shared accountability among them. PSDE Supervisory Committee establishes roles as some students take on the role as facilitators and the rest of their peers become participants.     
The students are trained as facilitators to organise and conduct the games for the students (participants). PSDE encourages students to improve their language abilities in all FOUR (4) skills; Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Facilitators take charge of the language games as assigned lecturers supervise the process from event preparation to the implementation on actual day. Facilitators are exposed to various tasks that challenge their critical thinking, creativity and leadership skills.
In addition, participants are given the opportunities to learn and improve their language skills from their own peers. Peer learning essentially refers to students learning with and from each other as fellow learners without any implied authority to any individual, based on the tenet that “Students learn a great deal by explaining their ideas to others and by participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers” (Boud, 2001).
