School's SLP English Writing Project

School's SLP project on assessing and measuring pupils' performance in English Language writing, the meeting happened yesterday, 26 July 2010, in the conference room at 2pm. Cikgu Hamdiah binti Haji Amat and Cikgu Roseadah facilitated and explained about the tasks that would be carried out for the SLP project.

Attending the meeting were teachers who were already assigned with respective tasks according to the RASI system. The meeting focused on writing where pre-tests for every level were standardised starting from Pra classes to Year 6's.

What was aimed was to look for the weaknesses the students were having currently in writing skills using English language as the medium. Heather pointed out that the Pra classes would still doing on the phonics by oral communication and writing given phrases by specifying grammar structures. Year 1 could be having the same techniques as in Pra classes as phonics were still incorporated in the syllabus. Year 2 and Year 3 would be doing simple sentence structures by describing pictures in the writing, as pointed by Cikgu Kathy.

Cikgu Yusnani would be doing the English pre-test writing for Higher Special Need (HSN) pupils but she still needed help about the pupils' English performance from respective English teachers.

The pre-tests for all levels would commence on this Wednesday, 28th July 2010. Next tasks would be data collecting and analysing the pre-tests to find out the main weaknesses that in turn would be the main target to improve the writing skills among the pupils. Data collecting and analysing would commence on next Tuesday, 3 August 2010.
