Programme Booklet Printing

Hey guys, previously I told to Habe and Fatima that we can print for free if we have the approval letters at the photocopy centre at SUB building. And I have confirmed with them, and they said yes we can print it for free at a printing room beside post office.

However, based on my experience (dealing this case), the printing process is time-consuming, they take days to help us print. So, as a reminder, please standardize the content of the booklet by Sunday, so that we can print it on Monday, and hopefully we can get the booklet by Friday (7/12).

HAMPER ---

Hello Everyone. As we decided in the classroom, hampers will be given to the students. The number of students will be 10  + 10 so total 20 students. This weekend, I will go the cheapest shop to buy the things for hamper. Here, I would like to ask your opinion about what to include inside hamper. Here, ı need actually local students’ help because you are more familiar  with the hamper more than us. I have already something in my mind but still want to get your opinion. Maybe there is something special that I have to include ? Can you recommend the things to be included since you are familiar with it ?

Help is Needed

Hello Everyone! I am glad with our progression so far. But, now we have to move faster as we have only one weekend for our Language Camp 2012! Actually, I need all of your help once again. I hope everyone will be aware that for our language camp, we have to prepare Programme Booklet, Faci's Manual, Evaluation Form. In order to complete these, I need :

1) Finalized Tentative of programme ( From Activity unit)

2) Director's speech ( From Director)

3) Finalized list of games + Its Trainers' Document (From Activity unit)

I wish all of you could pass these documents to me on 6th December 2012, (Thursday); 6pm. I want the finalized works only. The person in charge kindly take note of it. You may refer to the previous documents in our "Language Camp FB group" to complete your tasks. Cooperation needed ladies and gentleman !

Thank you.

EXPECTATION

Facilitators should:

1. communicate with fellow facilitators in a friendly manner. 
2. provide well made documents of the program to the students. 
3. facilitate with enthusiasm and passion. 
4. give clear and concise instruction. 
5. follow the procedure for implementing games in the classroom. 
6. ensure all students are participating.

For the station game:
The students need to finish the task at each station to get marks, so we need make sure the game in each station should not be overlapped. And before our station game, do we need to specify the certain language item we focus on in the game, or any input we need to give them?
My ideas about the station game: information hunt game which need the students to find certain information/clues  in certain area and then they need to combine all the information/clue to figure out the answer. The information/clue may be hided in certain area or hold by certain people(our faci), they need to search for it or they may need some questions to the faci to get the clue.
by the way, the station game has 2 hours, so for each station game, how many minutes should we prepare?

bad news..red alert...ktf college cancel our reservation of the hall as they said they are going to renovate the hall...i insist that we already confirm the hall but the pic said they need to cancel it to follow the date that the builder can work on their renovation..i already asked ktr,ktho,ktdi,ktc,kdse, krp and fp seminar room once again to book their hall and only kdse and ktdi will be available on the date..staff in ktdi said that the chance of getting the hall is slim as the principle is not generous enough to give our small group the hall..the only left is kdse hall...but i will try to apply from both college..sorry guys..any idea on any where else can we organise the camp?

Ice Breaking

Hi every, since me and qila got the new job last Wednesday, now both of us will take over the ice breaking section as well. Me and qila already had discussion about the games we wanna play for the ice breaking section, and we come out with the game played by Mr G. As i recall, this is a simple game and only a little preparation are required. The only question is the numbers of students, because we need to divide groups as soon as possible. Any detail about the game, please read qila's post there!   

Approval Letter for Language Camp V2

Quite a late update from me but here it goes.

Continuation from my previous post >here<:-

14/11 - Luk Jing managed to meet with Timbalan Pendaftar of FP and received the 'oral' approval from him personally.

16/11 - The approval letter was ready but LJ was not available to collect it from FP Office.

19/11 - Luk Jing collected the approval letter from FP Office and transferred it to Ruzaini.

19/11 - Ruzaini managed to book the KTF Hall as the venue of our Language Camp.

Thanks to Ruzani and Habe for their help with the approval letter application. Now we're able to do all sorts of wonderful things with the approval letter. Yeah~ =)

READING BLOG ENTRIES

Great to see some people are getting busy preparing for the language camp. Looking forward to read reports from the others.

Be professional. Be nice to everybody.

Slides+Music+Ice Breaking Games

Hi all,


1)Slides+Music


Since Lin Han and Me are going to take care of the technical parts, who is going to do the slides and music for the day? If you guys are okay, I can just gather all the slides. For the music, we can play any songs that you guys wanna hear and put it as a background music while we are playing the games.

2) Ice Breaking Games

We have decided to play 2 games for the ice breaking. First is to divide them into groups. This is done according to themes. I will explain further when we meet in the class. Or perhaps later on we can upload it some where. For this we will only need some paper. I can just use my own. So no budget needed.

Second, we will play the game that Mr G introduce to us. Remember the first day of language game class? We played a game which we need to rotate and introduce ourselves. So we choose that game for the ice breaking. This also do not need any budgeting.


So, that's all for now. ^^

Salam everyone

        As already stated by Su Ching, to apply for stationery through faculty office, we needed to prepare some documents for the application. Since I am responsible for the budget, I had to come up with estimation of all the money we need to spend and on what to spend it. It turned out to be really confusing to estimate the prices here and also to know what things I am supposed to include in the budget. Many thanks to Habelasha for her help in preparing the paper. Also thanks to Su Ching for submitting the paperwork and help.

        However, the total of the budget is RM 208.40 including the money we collected of course. I hope that we can get everything soon.

First Game of Language Camp 2012

Hi Fatima and Ruzaini ! Three of us have been selected to design one of the games in Language camp. The time allocated for our game is 30 minutes. We have to propose our game to PIC Ka Mun by coming Sunday ( 25th November 2012). When shall we begin the discussion? We need to move fast as it involves some procedures. We need to propose to Ka Mun, then maybe Mr.Ghazali  and our course mates as they would wish to comment on it. Later, after the designed game is being approved, we have to prepare the materials, brief the facilitators...It seems time consuming and we do not have much time left. I wish three of us could come into an agreement to do the discussion sooner. Thank you. =)

‎[Stationery Application]

I have asked the PIC of the Stationery Department and they requested us to apply stationery through faculty office. Which means, the faculty will help us get the stationery from the department.
The document needed for this application is the paperwork (including budget with the number of delegates) and approval letter from faculty.

We have to act fast as the PIC told me that the procedure is quite time-consuming.

LUNCH section ?

Hey guys i wonder, how the lunch section is going to be are gonna provide lunch to students or everyone is going to help themselves :). Emmm if we are going to provide lunch are we going to get any money from Faculty ? in anyway how the lunch section is going to be handled?

PRIZES and SOUVENIRS

As we discussed in the class me and Kubi we are going toprepare 2 hampers for 20 people divided 10 by 10 and for we are going toprepare the handmade bracelet made by thread for 5 active students. Here is the question since 5 active students going to be chosen we don’t know the gender and the colors for the bracelets should be suitable for both male and female.Thus I am gonna go for 3 colors each of bracelets consists of two colors and going to make more than 5 pieces since we will have enough thread any suggestion for the colors for sure one should be black considering male students… So what do you think? 





Here is some models please suggest about the model :) open the specific pic and share the link in your comment as suggestion.
 

Take Care Of Your Own Belongings

As the person who in charge of the technical, we gonna face a lot of problems such as finding the pen-drives on that day. And because of the equipment we going to use are the laptops, pen-drives, cameras, different teaching aids etc. So we really need to keep our own personal belonging safe and well located. Furthermore, for me and qila, we are going to run errand on that day, so in order to help you guys to get want you want immediately, please take care you own personal belonging. 


Here are my suggestions of this issue:

1. If you cannot take care of your own belongings, please let others know and ask them to keep an eye on it.
2. If you pick up anything which is not belong to you, please try to give it back to the owner as soon as possible.
3. Please mark you own belongings if there is a possibility of forget to take or wrong taken.
4. Keep your personal belongings away from the children, in case that the little kids maybe will take your belongings just for fun.
5. Keep the valuables always with you to avoiding the happen of wrong taken or lose. 
7.

Games, games and games :D

Salam and hi buns :) 

Since me, Nabila and Ka Mun are responsible for the games, so we will prepare all the games to be played during the camp. I'm thinking of collecting all the games you guys used in the language games class and see whether they are appropriate for the university students. If they are appropriate, that's good and if not, perhaps we can alter the contents of the games to suit the university students' level. Besides that, we are going to come out with our own games and posted here so that we can get feedback from all of you :) We will try our best to come out with games that do not require lots of materials.

If you have any suggestions for the games, do share with us. We would like to hear your opinion ;)

Security and delegate servicing

Hey guys, Su Ching here. Same with Ling Yao, since there is no any specific tasks for external affairs, so Ruzaini has came out with security tasks for us.

Maybe people might wonder what is this task all about. Like Ling Yao explained to us, besides we checking the safeness of the equipment, we also will check on the venue as well, with the hope that our language camp will conducted smoothly without any accident happen.

So, for the activity planners, you have to inform us whether you will come with any language games that will involve any physical movement, or any outdoor, so that at least we can apply first aid box from UTM Health Centre.

Other than that, me and Ling Yao have another task, that is delegate servicing. The main task of it is to interact with participants and answer enquiries of participant in joining our camp, and also registration. So me and Ling Yao will get the name list from Mr. G for the registration purpose.

So is there better suggestion for us?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Gifts Budget

Salam everyone and happy new year

----Since you all didn’t object on the ideas we already discussed, I’ll consider that you girls and boy agree that we will have:
1. One prize for the winner group of the games

2. One prize for the winner group of sketch competition

3. Three Prizes for the most active students

4. Sweets or stickers (only if the budget was enough so it is up to Bircan and Kubra)

(WE CAN STILL GIVE OPINIONS REGARDING THIS BUT IT IS BETTER THAT WE DECIDE ON THIS MATTER SOON SO BIRCAN AND KUBRA START SEARCHING FOR THE GIFTS)

----My advice as the treasurer to you girls is to settle the grand prize, sketch prize and three individual prizes for the active students first. The prizes should not be very simple since they are for adults and not expensive, so please try to get CHEAP and MEANINGFUL prizes as possible. After you are done with these, you can buy sweets or stickers depending on the amount of money left if there is any of course.

----Since we can apply for the paper and other stuff from the faculty, the money allocated for the prizes is RM50. If we finished the materials with cost less than RM20, the money will be transferred to buy gifts. However, consider ONLY RM50 for now.

PS/ you still need to pay me first of course on the 20^th Nov. 

see you all soon

security issues

Hi, all friends, 

I'm ling yao, and for me there is no job on external affairs, and Ruzaini suggested a new job for me and Suching is security. Still not sure the job is confirm or not. However, whether my job is the security or not. 

The safety issues should be considered during our language camp since we need take care of all the participants. 

So before we begin all the activities, I will check all the equipment whether they are in the safety place. Check is there any dangers in the environment. 

However, I'm not familiar with the job, so anyone has any ideas about that? What should I prepare? any suggestions? Thanks.   

Technical support and runner

Hi girls and Ruzaini :)


On the day of the programme, Lin Han and I will be the technical support and the runner. We'll cover everything from

1. getting the things that you all wanted to buy
2. ensuring the presentation slides going well (if there any)
3. ensuring that the microphones works well from the beginning to the end

So, on the day, there would be problems or anything to do with emergency, all of you can find Lin Han and me. We will help you with anything. :)

For now, I need to come out with a list of things to buy. The activity unit and souvenirs perhaps have something that you guys wanted to buy? or to make it even better, we can buy together. :)

Gift Suggestions?

 Hello Everyone...

 As you know, Me and Bircan are responsible of preparing the gifts for the students.
Since, we have  a limited budget regarding the gifts, Me and Bircan would like to prepare some home-made gifts. This could be interesting and attractive for the students as well as cheaper to us. However, Fatima suggested that we can only give the prizes to the winners.  I would like to add Fatima's opinion that we can award the winner with good prizes but in order to motivate the rest of the students me and Bircan can prepare some small gifts to give them. For this , we need to consider budget at the same we should be creative to make awarding interesting. Personally, I do not want only easily award just for the sake of awarding.. we want to make it interesting with low cost.
 So, guys I would like to get first your opinions, if anything interesting we can add or do. Simple , Nice, Attractive suggestions please. 

Approval Letter for Language Camp

For your information, we need an approval letter from Faculty of Education to secure the venue for our language camp. Below is the working timeline:

07/11 - Ruzaini had a consultation with Mr Ghazali regarding the event proposal. He got some feedback from Mr Ghazali and he did some corrections to the proposal.

08/11 - Transfer of the proposal from Ruzaini to Luk Jing. Luk Jing took over the job of applying for the approval letter and the venue. Habelasha helped Luk Jing to get the signature from Mr Ghazali.

09/11 - Cover letter was added to the proposal. Credit to Habe for coming up with the cover letter. =)

12/11 - Submission of the proposal to Education Faculty. (Pending)


Progress to be updated.

Venue for Language Camp

Venue for the camp.

As the director of the camp, my first job was to secure a hall to conduct the camp. The hall that being suggested by Mr. Ghazali were KRP and KTC hall. I went to KRP office and i was unable to secure the hall on 8th December as the hall will be use for a festival conducted by the college. My chance of getting a hall before the next Language Games class all depends on the availability of the KRP hall and i went there on Monday, 22nd of October to book the hall. The receptionist there told me the person in charge of the hall is not available at that time and asked me to come again the next day. So i went there back the following day and once again i was unable to meet with the person in charge of the hall and i failed to secure the place. During the class, i delivered the bad news and Mr. Ghazali gave me another one week to book the hall. i tried once again to ask for KTC hall before i went back to home for Raya Haji and the receptionist said that the hall cannot be book as it is under a renovation, so i gave up on this one. Nabila offered a help to survey KTF hall and the staff there gave full cooperation and willing to lend us the hall. So, I went there to confirm the hall and placed my name in the book to confirm my booking. I manage to get the hall but still the college require approval letter in order to conduct the camp. As the semester break arrived, I asked my assistant director, Luk Jing to get the approval and show it to KTF college. Credit to Nabila and Luk Jing.


 

The Budget of Language Camp

Salam and Hi everyone,

As you all know, I’m the treasurer for the language camp so here is the thing:

Since the proposal that is going to be submitted to the faculty does not contain any request of funding (money), we need to manage the issue on our own. As our vice director (Luk Jing) already suggested, we need to contribute with RM5 in order to cover the expenses of prizes. It is still undecided how many prizes we need (exactly) but I think we will try to keep it at only RM5 and it will be enough if we gave prizes to the winners only. So the members responsible for the souvenirs (prizes), please keep our budget in mind, which is maximum RM70.

However my suggestions are as follow,

First, I agree with Luk Jing that we need to give prizes for the winners but keep in mind that we will be having group activities. If we conducted group activities or games, do we need to reward all members of the group? As a consequence, we will reward three groups, which consist of 30 students because rewarding only one group at the end of the day seems frustrating for the students. 

Second, regardless of who won the games or the activities, I suggest that we give three special prizes for the three active students at the end of the day because this will keep them motivated all day even if they didn't win the activities.

If you have any suggestions, please share with us and also give your opinion
