Reflection (Before the Language Camp B)



Reflection (Before the Language Camp B)


Before the Language Camp, we were informed by our lecturer about this activity which was going to be held on 11th of October 19, 2014 (Saturday) at SK Kota Masai 2 with the aim to enhance the students’ English language proficiency for everyday use and practice their language in social, cultural and educational activities. The target respondents were secondary school students from different schools. My classmates and I were the committees in this activity with some lecturers who would assist us and evaluate our performance in this activity.


As we know that preparation is essential for every activities in order to make the event successfully and meaningful. Checklists are a useful tool to assist with our organization while having required materials and equipments can make a difference in our overall enjoyment and experience. Before the Language Camp, we all did attend the meeting to divide the tasks and report the progress of our own task. My friends and I were responsible for Tandem Writing activity which was an interesting game to cultivate and promote the team work and collaboration skills among the students. In this game, we only needed to prepare three different themes of the story which were ghost story, love story and animal story for three different zones. The materials we needed were only paper and pencil. In the meeting, my friend briefed the other teammates about the flow of this activity such as how to carry out the game and the duration, etc which was vital to give them a clear view about this activity so that all of us could be able to make the activity more productively and effectively. 


Through the meeting, we all understood and knew the whole camp activities, tentative and our own role in this camp. As one of the facilitators, I jotted down the main job I needed to do in this camp, for instance how to carry out the ice breaking, etc. There were 20 facilitators and each group had 10 members from different schools. The name of the group was based on the hero characters which was special and unique that the students would like it and feel a sense of belongings that would encourage taking part the activities actively and energetically.


            On that day, we all gathered at D05 to wait for the UTM bus and then we moved the materials needed in Language Camp supplied by the faculty to the bus. After we all had settled down, we departed to our destination and Alison helped to direct the ways to go the school by using the apps of Waze. We all arrived at the school on time and we were ready for this camp as many students had arrived at the school.
