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

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!
