Hi I am Gina the sparrow, using Daniel's account to publish.

Hey, guys and gals. What are you up to? When I recall the games that our course mates demo to us, I must say that those games are really fun and interesting. I particularly like Megat’s “Build a Bridge” because the game is very creative and I believe a lot of us enjoyed it very much. I am just wondering will all these games be fun to the actual participants of the Language Camp. They may be hindered by their lack of competency in English and are definitely not as expressive as us. Another thing that concerns me is the question of whether or not the outspoken students will appear to be dominant throughout the camp while the quiet ones will remain quiet unless they are forced to speak up. Therefore, I personally think that the facilitators have to really mix around with the participants and do not hang around among themselves. This is important so that we can be more observant and be able to tell who are daring to speak up and who are not. Besides, facilitators should encourage the quiet ones to speak up, helping these people to restore their confidence in using English. In conclusion, the roles of facilitators are really important and we can create a significant impact on the life of the participants. What do you think?
