CHAIN REACTION

CHAIN REACTION PROGRAMME 2019 REPORT

Event   : Chain Reaction Programme

Date    :  September – October 2019

Throughout the month of September until September, English Unit of General Studies Department organized Chain Reaction Programme 2019, a video competition that highlighted one of the topic learned in DUE3012 – Processes and Procedures. It aimed to pursue students’ hidden creativity in genuinely creating a domino-effect game using TVET tools or items that are associated with their course. Besides, it focuses to boast the students’ confidence level to communicate in English.

There were around 450 students from JRKV, JKM, JPH and JKE took part in this competition. Groups were formed by the students in each class and they will carry out the game in the video. Each group were required to record the video around 3 to 5 minutes. Their video will be assessed basically in terms of their creativity, content as well as the language.

So far, the students were very committed in producing the video. They integrated whatever they have learned in the topic, such as, imperative language in instructions and also passive voice, together with their creativity in producing and editing the video. The interesting part was they have to upload the video to YouTube and share the link to everyone, so that other students could watch the video. Certificates were given to every student individually at the end of the month.

Credits should be given to the DUE3012 English lecturers who have never stopped helping and giving ideas although initially the students were facing some technical problems. As a suggestion, the lecturers should ask the students to use more TVET tools in their video so it will be more interesting in the future.
