Instructional Programmes (Malay Language)

Our teachers uses a wide repertoire of teaching methods and strategies to develop pupils’ interest in learning, creativities and thinking skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Graphic organizers, structured mapping, songs, role-play, debates, drama, IT programmes, language quizzes, poetry and problem-based learning are some of the teaching methods used to engage pupils meaningfully and motivate pupils to enjoy the subject. Creativity is another area which we constantly emphasize on, especially where the teaching of writing skills is concerned. Our teachers strongly believe that creative lessons will produce creative pupils and hence quality work. The department also actively infuses MOE’s initiatives in lessons whenever appropriate (i.e. Thinking Skills, Innovation and Technology, National Education).
