Comments (Strengths/Weaknesses/Suggestions for Improvement)

One of the main objectives of the competition was to encourage students to

maximize usage of the dictionaries to look for words and their meanings which
would enhance their vocabulary. Participation was overwhelming at first as many
students handed in their names. However, on the competition day, many students
did not turn up. Fortunately, many other students, voluntarily replaced them. This
game is interesting and beneficial, and therefore should be held every year. English
language teachers also need to expose their students to the game.

Comments (Strengths/Weaknesses/Suggestions for Improvement)

This competition’s focus was to search for talented students who have excellent
mastery of their vocabulary and with the ability to spell out words of various
difficulty levels correctly. As too many students handed in their names, the list has
to be shortlisted to 20 participants only. This is identified as the strength of the
competituon, it was able to attract many students. However, one of the
weaknesses is the difficulties if the words to be spelled out in the first round,
resulting in majority of the form one students disqualified at the preliminary round.
Therefore, it is to be noted that in future, these two points need to be taken into
consideration:- number of participants from each class and the suitability of the
level of the words for from preliminary to the final rounds.
