Hello guys! It seems that we all have forgotten this site, haven't we? Anyway, how's everyone? I'm doing good here. As for now, Mien, Zati, Megat, and Syam are also okay..at least that's what I know. We all miss you guys out there very much. Two days ago, I was out hanging with Megat and Mien until about 2.30 am at Aliff's. Try to catch up with whatever things that we've been missing for these couple of weeks. Eventhough there are still 10 of us here, except for Zati, who is my roommate, Mien and Syarul, who are also staying in Melana, I hardly see anyone else. But sometimes, I do bump into Adam, Syam or Megat on the streets. Actually, we are all quite miserable here now cos there's still no answer for our extension of scholarship from KPM. I don't know how these people do their job, but they are always late to give us money but when it comes to posting, they are really quick. At least that's what we all agree here, don't we? Have u guys known the place where you will be posted? If you guys know, tell us la. We've been waiting to hear any news about you guys. From what I know, Farah will be posted in Sek. Men. Teknik somewhere in Arau, Pnah and Sing Ying got some school in Pahang, and Gina is in Singapore for 3 months, doing the exchange students' thing. That's all. I don't know about others.
I hope you guys still remember that we are going to have our reunion one day before your graduation day and the place in at Taman U's McD. We'll be waiting for you guys there. Anyway, since Zati and I are only doing our thesis this semester, we went out looking for job in tuition centres around Tmn U. But the world out there is so cruel.(hahaha) Eventhough, there are like 10 tuition centres in Tmn U, no one wanted to hire us. That's why we are so broke these days. So next time, when I see you guys especially on the reunion day, whoever's working during the break should give me a treat. I think I'm gonna stop now. I'm currently in PSZ, waiting for the faculty's office to open cos we need to get our slip pendaftaran before 31st July. Oh, before I forgot, Syaharil just came back from Germany, so Syaharil, since there's no souvenir, whatsoever, why don't you write something here? Tell us about your experience there.
Finally, for all TESLians, class of 2004 from UTM, I love you guys and good luck in whatever you're doing and you'll do later. No matter what it is, have fun and take care, ok. I'm looking forward to see you guys during the convo. Till then, bye!!!

The educated blogger: Using weblogs to promote literacy in the classroom by David Huffaker
This paper explores the role of weblogs or "blogs" in classroom settings. Blogs, which resemble personal journals or diaries and provide an online venue where self–expression and creativity is encouraged and online communities are built, provide an excellent opportunity for educators to advance literacy through storytelling and dialogue. This paper explores the importance of literacy and storytelling in learning, and then juxtaposes these concepts with the features of blogs. The paper also reviews examples of blogs in practice.

Language Camp Report
As a whole, the camp went on successfully. I was in charged of finance and sponsorships. We had sponsors from some generous individuals apart from contribution from our own camp members and the Education Faculty as well. Thus, money was never a problem. Moreover, it did not cost a king’s ransom for this camp to be carried out. The camp was, in fact, very cost effective. It taught us that we need not spend unnecessary large amount of money just for the camp to be successful. The participants, on the other hand, gained a lot from the camp too. Through behavioral observations, it was obvious that the activities conducted in the camp helps the students to develop their language skills. They acquired many new words (plus the correct pronunciation and intonation). Though, the grammatical aspect was hard to determine its success but, I believe, the students will eventually acquire the correct grammatical form of the language if they are to be exposed to English more often such as having language camps such as this. This is due to the fact that this camp provides grounds for them to experience using the language spontaneously in real life situation. The activities provide an enjoyable informal learning atmosphere to the students which help in decreasing their anxiety level. Thus, they were not only highly motivated to try to communicate using the language but also were very confident in their performance. Healthy competition also took place in the activities which encouraged the students to improve themselves even more. Team spirit was inculcated which further promotes the instillation of moral values such as respecting and helping each other. All in all, the participants were satisfied with the camp and enjoyed all the activities conducted. All said and done, the camp met it objectives.

Once again, the hands of Felda Johor and the Education Faculty of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) are joined together, this time making its mark in Felda Tenggaroh 6, Mersing. During the duration of 3 days from the 6th to the 8th of February 2004, the vibrant lives of 24 TESL students from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia intertwined with the young lives of 138 Primary 6 pupils from schools around Felda Tenggaroh, Mersing.
The camp was indeed a joint effort by both Felda and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The TESL students under the loving guidance of their lecturers, Mr. Ghazali bin Bunari, Miss Fatimah binti Puteh, and Mr. Faruk bin Muhammad arrived in SK Felda Tenggaroh 6, Mersing with enthusiasm and their hearts, prepared to go all out to motivate the Felda students to look forward to learning the English Language via language games and loads of fun! Doubled with the wonderful and extremely warm hospitality of the Felda settlers, who provided the facilitators and lecturers with an unforgettable ‘kampung’ experience, the language camp turned out to be a real success – with lots and lots of really delicious ‘kampung’ cooking, and extra dedicated RELA security!
Shortly upon arrival, the 24 facilitators introduced themselves to the eager faces who were already being seated in hall. The facilitators then presented their group cheer with actions.
After that, everything just sprang into action. The pupils were being divided into their respective groups – Nemo, Mickey, Tazmanian, Garfield, Bugs Bunny, Lilo, Flintstone, Scooby Doo, Snoopy, and Pink Panther. The group facilitators (2 per group) then took charge of all the kids in their own groups throughout the camp.
The groups started off by coming up with their own team cheer, which were all presented in front of all the groups. The cold atmosphere of the first night of the camp warmed up to the excitement and the energy level of the pupils, who were trying to outdo each other with the volume of their group cheers.
The next two days passed within the blink of an eye, with all the fun and the engaging activities throughout the camp. The main feature of the camp that distinguishes it from all other camps of any kind is the amount of language games played. Most of the time, the language games were played in the 10 respective groups, conducted by the group facilitators who were really getting to know each and every one of the kids in their groups. The language games were mostly created and designed by the facilitators themselves, or were adapted from existing language games.
Laughter could be heard from classrooms where the groups take temporary residence as the pupils were busy forming words and phrases based on certain categories (like animals, places, or even language word classes like nouns and verbs), or trying very hard to guess a word based on their friend’s role-playing. Games like Name Game, Tic-Tac-Toe (based on the tic-tac-toe concept), and Perfect Match were played throughout the duration of the camp; with the objective of instilling the interest and motivation to learn the English Language in a fun and less stressful atmosphere. Many facilitators report seeing the kids under their care and guidance getting excited even though some of them may be very weak in English – which is a good indicator that the kids are not so afraid of the language anymore.
Other activities that stand out are the Amazing Race and the Treasure Hunt. Amazing Race was a break from all the language-based activities. Pupils had to go through a few challenges – ‘Mountain Climbing’, ‘River Crossing’, and ‘Tunneling’ where team spirit and sticking up for group members mattered a lot. As for the Treasure Hunt, the pupils had to go from station to station to answer riddles. Well, the kids sure had fun running around with their friends in the group, guessing riddles and the facilitators enjoyed themselves looking at the over-enthusiastic kids who were about 10 years younger than them!
There was also the ‘Building the Tower’ competition, whereby the kids have to build a tower using straws and paper cups, with some of the members in the group being blindfolded. It was a challenge that tests the effectiveness of giving simple instructions in English, and definitely team work.
Besides that, the drama competition amongst group was another activity that drew shy kids out of their shells, and amazing talents out of normal-looking village kids! The pupils were definitely enjoying themselves, acting out their respective roles, and at the same time speaking the language. The kids surely did not realize that they were unconsciously using the English Language while having fun at the same time!
On top of all the fun and ‘unconscious’ use of the English Language, pupils and facilitators had song singing sessions – some kids were literally screaming at the top of their lungs! Amongst the favoured songs were ‘This is what dreams are made of’, and ‘Top of the world’.
Also, to teach the pupils to express themselves in words, every night there would be a ‘Buddy Journal’ session whereby all the pupils had to open their Buddy Journal and write how they feel after going through all the activities and games. During this Buddy Journal session, the group facilitators would be guiding the pupils, especially the weaker kids, encouraging them to express themselves freely without being afraid of making grammatical mistakes.
All in all, the language camp in SK Felda Tenggaroh 6, Mersing, Johor was indeed an unforgettable event for both the TESL students and the Felda community. It is the sincerest hope of the TESL students and their beloved lecturers that the language camp would leave a footprint in each of the 138 pupils – that they will no longer be afraid of the ‘foreign language (English Language), and that they will now view the English Language as a fun experience, and a useful tool for a better future. Before departure from Felda Tenggaroh, all 24 facilitators knew deep down that the Felda settlers had left a precious memory of warm hospitality, and had ‘fallen in love’ with the kids who were so active and eager to learn despite their lack of exposure to the English Language.
Language Camp 6th to 8th of February 2004 was indeed a mark in the history of the English Language teaching profession, and a new beginning for all one hundred and thirty-eight kids, each with their own potential to succeed and master the English Language.

My contribution for the camp
My job was to make sure the participants and the facilitators follow all the camp rules. I was in charge to get the students into their groups and and queqe up in a straight lines. Most of the time I had to control the crowd with the noise that they made. I need to make sure the students gathered the dining hall in time. We managed to do that but there was an unexpected thing which happened. Some of the facilitators were confused about the shcedule,and that actually affected our pose because the blame was put on us.

As for the Treasure Hunt, the pupils had to go from station to station to answer riddles. Well, the kids sure had fun running around with their friends in the group, guessing riddles and the facilitators enjoyed themselves looking at the over-enthusiastic kids who were about 10 years younger than them!
There was also the ‘Building the Tower’ competition, whereby the kids have to build a tower using straws and paper cups, with some of the members in the group being blindfolded. It was a challenge that tests the effectiveness of giving simple instructions in English, and definitely team work.
Besides that, the drama competition amongst group was another activity that drew shy kids out of their shells, and amazing talents out of normal-looking village kids! The pupils were definitely enjoying themselves, acting out their respective roles, and at the same time speaking the language. The kids surely did not realize that they were unconsciously using the English Language while having fun at the same time!
On top of all the fun and ‘unconscious’ use of the English Language, pupils and facilitators had song singing sessions – some kids were literally screaming at the top of their lungs! Amongst the favoured songs were ‘This is what dreams are made of’, and ‘Top of the world’.
Also, to teach the pupils to express themselves in words, every night there would be a ‘Buddy Journal’ session whereby all the pupils had to open their Buddy Journal and write how they feel after going through all the activities and games. During this Buddy Journal session, the group facilitators would be guiding the pupils, especially the weaker kids, encouraging them to express themselves freely without being afraid of making grammatical mistakes.
All in all, the language camp in SK Felda Tenggaroh 6, Mersing, Johor was indeed an unforgettable event for both the TESL students and the Felda community. It is the sincerest hope of the TESL students and their beloved lecturers that the language camp would leave a footprint in each of the 138 pupils – that they will no longer be afraid of the ‘foreign language (English Language), and that they will now view the English Language as a fun experience, and a useful tool for a better future. Before departure from Felda Tenggaroh, all 24 facilitators knew deep down that the Felda settlers had left a precious memory of warm hospitality, and had ‘fallen in love’ with the kids who were so active and eager to learn despite their lack of exposure to the English Language.
Language Camp 6th to 8th of February 2004 was indeed a mark in the history of the English Language teaching profession, and a new beginning for all one hundred and thirty-eight kids, each with their own potential to succeed and master the English Language.

My contribution for the camp
My job was to make sure the participants and the facilitators follow all the camp rules. I was in charge to get the students into their groups and and queqe up in a straight lines. Most of the time I had to control the crowd with the noise that they made. I need to make sure the students gathered the dining hall in time. We managed to do that but there was an unexpected thing which happened. Some of the facilitators were confused about the shcedule,and that actually affected our pose because the blame was put on us.

Aileen Farida bt. Mohd Adam
Overall I am quite satisfied with the performance of the facilitators of Camp B, although as you said during the first night of post-mortem session, there is still room for improvement. The experience I acquired is beyond words mainly because of the ‘authentic’ students. Honestly, I was unsure of what I was supposed to do before the camp as I was a PRO. I never
had any experience ushering people or handling protocol before but with the help of the others, I was able to complete my job successfully although I do admit, there are some minor slip-ups here and there.
As everyone had warned, there would be unexpected matters that could happen and how right they were. The words ‘key’ and ‘bathroom’ leaves unpleasant memories and those were our only regrets. It is useless to keep
on dwelling on the past regrets so instead we should take those as a lesson; time waits for no man so we should make and do the best of it as we can.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE CAMP 2004
The language camp that was held at Sek. Ren. Keb. Adela, Kota Tinggi had gave me the new and memorable experience. There, I got the chance to take care of real students, handled and conducted them to play the games in the classroom. This experienced was totally different to me, as before I never like camping. Throughout this camp too, I figured out something about myself that I never knew before which is l like kids. They were young, cute, innocent, hyperactive, playful and follow everything that we asked them to do. I was the facilitator for the Remarkable Red group, which was very exhilarating and fun to have fifteen students under me. For this camp, my post was the assistant to the Head of Food. I need to make sure that the food was ready on time and the students had enough food. Before went there, I need to make a schedule for the meals to be given to the people who were incharged with the food at Kota Tinggi. Overall, this camp was an excit ing camp and I'm really looking forward to joint any camp like this again...!

LANGUAGE CAMP B
SEK KEB ADELA, KOTA TINGGI
13th - 15th FEB. 2004
The journey to Sek. Keb. Adela that afternoon took about 2 hours and a half. Although it was tiring, I think it would be very worthy and I was so excited to see the children. This is my first experience in conducting such program. My team was Remarkable Red and together with Noraini and Ghandini, we managed to handle the students quite well. Our team won 4 awards altogether. The students were very active, and so eager to play every game we had. The people over there were so nice and hospitable. Overall, although there were many unexpected difficulties happened during this camp, I learned that teamwork and patience can overcome every obstacles. Lastly, i would like to thank Mr. Ghazali, Miss Fatimah and Mr. Faruk for giving me this opportunity to participate in this Language Camp.

Language Camp 2004, would be the greatest experience that I ever experienced as a TESL student. I was the Camp Commander of the Language Camp. In the camp, I was responsible in taking care of the children and the facilitators. It is also my duty to help the director and the committee member in making sure that everything goes smoothly as planned. I would say that the camp was very enjoyable and a memorable one. It is actually our first battlefield as a teacher. It is also our first experience dealing with children. In the camp, I actually had the opportunity to mix with the children and at the same time analyzing the reason why they are not competent in English. After analyzing the children, I found out that the reason why they are not used with the language is that the fact that they came from a poor family and lack of exposure of the language. In my opinion, teachers in rural areas should be more aware of the problem and should try hard in developing the students’ interest in the language. Overall, I would say that the camp is a success, though there were problems. I hope that the future Language Camp will be better and should be able to develop the students’ interest in the target language.

Camp B
As assistance secretary, I feel that everyone in the committee had done a good job throughout the camp. They all committed their whole self to the camp. Personally I think that overall the camp was successful as it managed to reach several objectives of the camp, although there were things that needed patching up here and there. Although there were slight misunderstandings among the facilitators, we managed to handle and adapt to the situation there. At the camp I was in charge of registration. We only received the complete name list of students when we got there. We grouped the students evenly and made sure that there were 15 students in o ne group from different schools. Apart from that I am also the facilitator of the group ‘Genius Light Green’. I guided them to do their Buddy Journal and helped them to organize their drama presentation. I am very proud of them as they won 1st place in Message Hunt, 3rd place in Amazing Race, and in their drama presentation and apart from that they also won the most hardworking group. Besides handling my own group I was also in charge of the last checkpoint in the Amazing Race. I really had a blast throughout the camp. The camp taught me about lots of things; it was really an educating experience for me from handling students to teaching them and giving them love and care. I hope that there will be another camp as I am looking forward to gain more experience. Apart from that there is also time for us to patch things up and make the camp run smoothly the next time. I also hope that next time all of the facilitators will have a positive attitude to make it more fu n not only for the students but among the committee members itself.

It was a wonderful experience for me to facilitate primary school students. As a facilitator, I had to consider a lot of things regarding the level of the students and also all our activity there. Overall, I think that most of the facilitators had done a good job in facilitating the students. The students also had given us their full cooperation in achieving our goals for this camp. I could see that most of the students gained a lot of knowledge during the camp and they even speak more English with us. It was a really memorable experiane for me to meet Felda people and they were really nice and friendly.

Post: Public Relations Officer
As for preparation before going for the camp, I must attend meetings and help in the preparations for the camp. The preparations for the camp includes; preparing files, students’ handouts, preparing hampers, attending briefing on how to play the games, practicing songs and cheers and others. Besides preparing these materials, I must also be mentally prepared, as I have to understand the games clearly and prepare to carry it out to the students.
My job as a PRO started when I reached SRK Adela. I was the middle person for camp B and the FELDA group of people. As a PRO, I need to know the post for the people in charge in the other organizing committee such as the officers involved in the camp for example the FELDA officers and the people from the SRK Adela. Knowing these people will help me to identify the people in charge of certain job so that I know who to refer to when I need assistance.
One of the things I found out from them was that there were many participating FELDA schools from different districts such as Adela, Sungai Emas, Papan Timur, Air Tawar 1, Air tawar 2, Air Tawar 3, Air tawar 4, Pasak, Keledang, Sening, Tunggal, and Semencu. However, the host for this camp was SK Adela. The people in SK Adela are:
Penyelia petang- En. Selamat Rahim
Teacher- Pn. Sarah
Pengurus Jamuan- Fatimah Yahya
Pengurus Felda Adela- En.Razak
Urussetia Adela- En.Osman
The other people involved in the camp are:
Secretary (Pegawai Pengarah Tunggal)- Puan Zalina
Pengerusi GP- Pn. Aminah Atan
Pengurus Felda Tunggal- En. Jalil
Pengurus Felda Timur- En. Malik Awang
Pengurus Felda Keledang- En. Zainal
Pengurus Felda Semencu- En. Ismail Salleh
Pengurus Felda Sening- En. Razali Husin
The people listed are those who were present in the camp. From what I expected, each district will send their representatives to see how their students were doing in the camp.
My job started when I was asked to find three teachers from the school to be judges for the drama. I went to Pn. Zalina to know who these teachers are. She told me that the teachers would not be in the school most of the time since they were only in charge of the students’ intake. But somehow, I was lucky enough to be introduced to a teacher who was present that time, which was Pn. Sarah. She told me the other two teachers were not there but she will inform them to be there the next day to be judges for the drama.
On the last day was one of the most important days since many officers will be present. My job as a PRO is to welcome the officers upon their arrival and escort them to the hall. Besides that, I need to escort them to their seats and when they are going up and down from the stage. I also need to find out the officers who are going to give out the prizes, inform them beforehand and make sure they are there at the expected time.
In the beginning, I was not clear what I am supposed to do, but I was glad that En. Ghazali and Cik Fatimah have taught me and my friend what to do and how to do it.
Since I have not been a PRO before, I learnt a lot from this post. I learnt how to approach people, how to start a topic, and how to ask and inform them in a polite and correct way. I found this post interesting and I am glad I was given this post.
Besides being a PRO, I was also a facilitator. Being a facilitator has given me some idea of a teacher’s job since we have to control the students and guide them how to play the games. I must also take care of their physical state (health), their well-being (discipline) and also their feelings (whether they are feeling sad, happy, or lonely). We work in pairs to make sure everything is under control. We had to prepare the materials beforehand and group the students. Besides that, time management was a main concern since we have to conduct a few games in the restrictive time and keep the students’ interest and motivation going throughout the games. We must also be punctual when we were supposed to go for break or go to the hall for gathering.
In my group, my students expressed their liking towards us for teaching them how to use English, either in written or spoken. They somehow started to like English and felt motivated to continue learning English. They think that we are smart and somehow became their role model. My students had certainly surprised me and made me proud since they won first prize for Amazing Race.
As a conclusion, we have certainly achieved the camp objectives. We were able to motivate the students to learn English and foster the love of the English Language. This will provide a good starting point for the students to like English and avoid the biasness of English as a difficult subject to score. Besides that, we get to apply and practice the learning theories learnt in the class for all these years. I truly enjoyed this camp and it will be the most unforgettable experience I had in UTM.

In this camp, I was the head of cleanliness. I was assigned to buy the big black rubbish plastics to be used during the camp. Anyway, the committee managed to get them through some sponsors later. We had a very good preparation before hand for the camp. All the committee members were so dedicated and responsible toward their job.
During the camp, all the works were divided equally and fair among the facilitators. It helped us to focus in our work properly and not to get confused of what we are supposed to do. I made sure that the whole place was clean. The students felt very comfortable and gained good knowledge and experience.
