FAQ About LEAP

Salam and good morning,

LEAP is still having minor problems. I am currently ironing out the wrinkles. Be patience. Here are some frequently asked questions about LEAP.

1. Will I get the name list of students in my class?
Yes. The faculties have just submitted the names to me. Please check the file attached.

2. What should I teach the LEAP students?
Students should do the 4 compulsory tasks in order to receive the LEAP certificate.
a) Attend the class
b) Write 10 blog entries
c) Produce a short video
d) Summarize a short story
You may create lessons at your discretion around these subject matters. In addition, you may ask students on their requirements and do lessons based on their needs.

3. Will the LEAP committee provide materials for the lecturers?
From time to time, I'll upload some simple lesson plans on my class blog gameplan.blogspot.com . Feel free to use them.

4. What is the duration of LEAP class?

5. What if I can't attend the class due to another official task?
Replace the class. Negotiate with the students on the appropriate time and location

LEAP SEM 1 2014/15

Greetings to all LA members,

1.     We started LEAP (Language Enhancement Program) last year for the purpose of helping weak students mainly those with Band 1 and 2. Previously, lecturers were free to try out any methods they felt suitable to boost the students’ confidence in communicating in English.

2.     This semester, the lecturers for LEAP are coordinators of various courses plus Ryan and Jeni. By the end of the semester (week 13), you must submit a 2-page report reflecting on your hits and misses when executing activities for your LEAP class. Email your report to m-zaliATutmDOTmy with the subject LEAP REPORT.

3.     For this semester, we will maintain that sense of freedom to choose suitable methods to teach the students plus few compulsory project based tasks. Nevertheless, there won’t be any test or final exam.

4.     Students will be awarded with a certificate upon completion of the projects. The cert will say this:

LEAP

Language Enhancement and Advancement Programme

LANGUAGE ACADEMY

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Session 1  Semester 2014/2015

Certificate of Participation

This is to certify that NAME (IC NUMBER) has voluntarily participated in activities conducted by LEAP to boost UTM students’ confidence in using the English language and take charge of their own learning.

5.     All tasks should be done individually except for the video project. The video project should be done in a group of 5-6 students.

6.     Lecturers do not have to teach students on the technical parts of shooting and editing a video. The generation Y students are good at this or they can learn very fast on their own. You just choose a theme for the video.

7.     Similarly, you don’t have to teach the students on how to create a group weblog. They know or they can learn on their own. You just need to know the website address to monitor their progress. Encourage the students to leave comments on their friends’ entries.

8.     If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. I’ll update information about LEAP on my personal blog: gameplan.blogspot.com

9.     Thank you for your kind attention and cooperation. Have fun in your class!
