SPM English (1119) Seminar ~ Special Offer for Schools

-
I have been receiving calls and SMS from fellow teachers asking me whether I am willing to go to their schools and conduct my seminar there. The answer is "Yes, I am." I am always looking forward to share my knowledge and experience with as many students as possible. I understand that many students out there need some tips and guidance before they can perform at their level best in their SPM English (1119). 

Therefore, I would like to announce the special rate that I am offering to the schools that invite me to conduct the seminar there.

  1. For the full package seminar as suggested in my flyer, I am charging only RM25/student (this is far cheaper than the rate that I charge for the same seminar outside school). Free notes will be provided in a file for each student.
  2. For a two hours sharing session (I will share the DOs and the DON'Ts that the students should know when dealing with SPM English (1119) questions), the rate is negotiable because I really understand the budget constraint faced by the schools.

Friendship

I had a best friend. Her name was Asma. We had been friends since we were in primary school. Our friendship lasted for a long time because we understood and trusted each other. We were more like sisters than friends. Asma was a beautiful girl. She had a lot of admirers at school. Even though she was beautiful, she had never boasted about her beauty. Her flawless face was heart shaped. She had an attractive pair of big hazel eyes with heavy lashes. When she smiled her eyes smiled too. Asma was tall and slim, just like a model. She always looked nice in whatever clothes that she wore. Her favorite outfit was T-shirt and jeans because she felt comfortable wearing them. Asma's skin was fair. When she stood under the sun, her skin would turn reddish.

Traditional Approach VS Effective Approach in Teaching Writing to ESL Students

Traditionally, the teaching of writing can easily be reduced to teaching by correction – teaching after the event. Very often, the teaching sequence will be as follows: Discussion about the topic for the writing (providing ideas). Independent writing, with the teacher supporting as the students work. Work handed in and marked by the teacher, who identifies some spelling errors and makes helpful and encouraging comments on work. Work returned to the students. Often, when examining a student’s work over a period of time, several things become clear: there is a high proportion of brief, unfinished or poorly finished work the teacher’s comments and corrections seem to have had very little effect the writing does not seem to have improved much. Effective teaching emphasizes on teaching at the point of writing which focuses on demonstrating and exploring the decisions writers make as the writing happens . It is necessary for teachers to guide the students through the
