“English is Fun” Programme 2013





      English is the second language in Malaysia. Thus, English has been taught in early school education up to university level.  By 2016,  English subject  will be a compulsory subject in  Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia(SPM).             

    However, students’ proficiencies  in English are  still not satisfactory. Students’  mastery of the basic aspects are still weak and the lack of interest in the subject of English language has been identified as one of the key factors to the existence of this problem.

        Therefore, the  SMK Syed Sirajuddin English Panel is  conducting “English is fun” programme as a way to increase the  Form One students’  interest in learning the English subject.

     “English is fun” programme  was carried out on Saturday, 5th  October 2013 at Dewan Terbuka SMK Syed Sirajuddin with 100 participants. The  programme  started  at 8.00 am with the registration, followed by  a small briefing from Cik Oui Siew  Aim.  

       Various activities were conducted and operated by Pn. Surayya Ibrahim such as  conveying  messages  through whispering,  naming places according to the given pictures,  and finding words using newspapers and pasting them as quickly as possible on the given manila card . The activity continued by singing two english songs  conducted by Cik Hirjusna Ibrahim .

       Next, “Gotong royong” programme  was carried out, followed by the closing ceremony of “English is fun’ programme  by  Tn. Hj. Ahmad Mahiyiddin bin  Mohamad.

       The programme  continued with the prize-giving ceremony to the winners  by  Pn. Juriah bt Abdullah . The programme ended at 1.00 p.m

     The students enjoyed the programme  and hoped it  will be conducted again next year.
