Language Camp A (during)

Assalamualaikum and Good day..

During the day of the camp, we arrived at SMK Kota Masai 2 at 8 am. After we arrived, each of us was given a pencil box case to use during the camp. We were grouped into 20 groups with various types of group names. We had Superman, Captain America, Upin Ipin, Batman and a lot other. Mine was Phineas and Ferb. Each of us had 10 students from different types of schools who participated in the language camp. What to expect?? Hmm.. Every each of the students has different proficiency in English. At first they were very shy to make friends with the group members, to talk to each and to introduce their selves. I had to use different approach to bring them closer to each other and to be comfortable to do group work together. We did a lot of activities in order to increase students’ motivation to speak in English. Maybe some of the activities did no suitable with students’ level. They are primary schools students, the facilitators need to give proper instructions to the students for them to do the activities. I had to cope with students behaviors. It was tiring!! They are primary students, but I was amazed how they can be so energetic throughout all day. They were jumping and running around with their new friends during the break for Zuhor prayer yet they still can be so energetic for the next activities.

Diz, they are primary school students, their metabolic rate higher than us and they have more active cells! That's why teachers are tired of teaching primary school students. However, don't you find that they are more lovely than secondary school student? At least they dare not to be rude 😜
