1. the use of determiners
2. subject-verb agreement
3. copula 'be'

Free Topic Discussion To Arouse Their Confident Level

Fun Topic With Guided Procedure

Oral Communication Apprehension is "an individual's level of fear or anxiety associated with either real or anticipated communication with another person or persons". This is a common problem faced by a lot of people especially when they are communicating in their second language, at this point, of course English Language. To overcome this problem, I have initiated a program which I named it as Fun Oral Group (FOG Program) .Students are divided into 2 or 3 large groups and they can choose their on group members to reduce the anxiety level as everybody knows that ,it is much easier to communicate with somebody close to you rather then to somebody unfamiliar.
Topic of discussion is always something light and fun. They can always voice out their thoughts or ideas freely so as to make the task more enjoyable. The main objective is to boost their confident level.
OK, I'll update more on the progress in my next post. Till then, have a nice day everyone!

EduBlog and GOT Programs

EduBlog Program and GOT Program are two of my latest programs which I have created for my students at Kedah Technical Matriculation College. These two programs create the collaborative learning , peer reviewing and scaffolding skills between the lecturer and the students virtually. 

My two blogs : Let's View My Blog and Catchy Learning Cottage are the two main sources to make the EduBlog Program work well. As for the GOT Program, I introduced Googledocs as the backbone of the show.
