to reorganize this program again later on.

About RM180 has been spent for this activity. This amount actually exceeded from
the expected budget that was RM150 only. This happened due to unexpected expenses
such as photocopy which had cost quite a big amount than budgeted. To overcome
this problem, a sum of money had been asked as sponsor from the PIBG club and the
small request had been approved by the club generously.

1.6 STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE PROGRAM

strong bond among them in school.

1.7 SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based upon the matters above, the committee had decided to generate other program
for pupils that are weak in English language. This program will be focusing on them
and the activities of the program will be planned appropriately to fit their needs. As to
overcome the short of budget for this activity, the committee had agreed to seek for
sponsor from private sector such as KFC, McDonald, some banks and others.
However, it was finalized that the duration of this program will be kept as it was
because if it was taken too long, it might effected the pupils focus and interest. To
settle the lack of the driving forces for this program, it had been agreed to still using
the help from other teachers in school as we did this year. Furthermore, they had given
a positive feed back when they were asked about this matter and promised to help the
English teachers whenever needed to do so.

1.8 CONCLUSION
Above all, this program had been able to achieve the aims and the objectives very
well. Thus, the English Committee members unanimously agreed to make this
program as annual activity for English enhancement program in school. The
committee also hopes that this program will contribute a great effort for all pupils
towards the years to come especially when they are confronting the UPSR
examination. With the benefits the pupils had gained from this program it is hoped
that they would imply the benefits in their life and understand that learning is a never
ending process.

PROGRAMME 2:

1DAY WITH ENGLISH

2.1 INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of this program was created was to instill pupils’ positive attitudes
towards English language. It is also a way of making an extra exposition to pupils how
to learn English through very interesting and enjoyable activities. This is absolutely
essential because this subject has been labeled by pupils for so long as a burden
subject at school. Thus, through this one day camp, it is hoped that it will contribute a
huge mind paradigm among pupils that English actually is easy and fun to learn.
There are three kinds of activities which had been identified suit the pupils’ level in
this school. They are as follow:-

1. Activity 1: Focus on listening, speaking and vocabulary

a) Match Up:

A small group of players are blindfolded or close their eyes. The group is
given three or four pairs of balloons of different sizes and colour. The
objective of the game is for the players to correctly match the sizes and colours
of each balloon in the quickest time. They do this by asking a question to an
outside player who can see. However, the sighted person can only answer, yes
or no.

b) Backwords:

Divide the group into teams of 5 people each with pencil and paper. Call out a
word which has four or more letters. Each team writes the word vertically
down the left side of the paper, and on the right side writes the word vertically
backwards. Then they have to fill in between the letters to form new words.

2. Activity 2: Focus on speaking, reading and writing

a) Find a friend or two:

First, pupils have to write down her/his choice about some particular items and
then walk around all the other students and find another person who agrees
with the pupil or has had the same experience. They have to try and find a
different name for each item listed in a form. Suggested time to finish this
activity is about half an hour.

b) Who goes where?

For this activity, pupils will be given a handout each that contain a text
about some people who had to travel by flight. Pupils have to solve some
kind of riddles or tricks about which place are they intended to go. Pupils
 have to fill in a table with correct answers. 30 minutes are given to
complete the task.

3. Activity 3: Focus on vocabulary enhancement

a) Solving the word maze

b) Matching words to pictures

c) Make new words from a big word

4. Activity 4: Group Presentation

They could choose to sing or acting or dancing or anything that can entertain each
other as part of the closure ceremony.

2.2 AIMS
 To build pupils’ self confidence as well as to make a mind paradigm of pupils’
personal thought that English is a very hard subject to be learn.
 To create a comfortable atmosphere of feeling between the pupils and the language
itself.
 To promote that learning English is fun.

2.3 OBJECTIVES
 To provide opportunities for students to practice their English skills such as listening;
speaking; reading and writing by participating in games and joyful activities which
being handle in a very exciting and creative ways.

in the language enhancement activities.

2.4 DURATION OF PROGRAM

2.5 LOCATION OF PROGRAM

 SK KG PAHANG

2.6 TARGET GROUP

 All pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 were encouraged to join this camp.

2.6 REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROGRAMME:

This program had been carried out successfully on the 24th of April 2010 (Saturday)
as planned. 102 pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 had participated in this camp. It had
been well organized by all English teachers in school and supported by other teachers
also. All activities which had been planned were done perfectly by the facilitators.
There were 20 facilitators altogether who involved in this camp. They were the
students of SM Sains Tapah. These students had been given a briefing about this camp
and activities they needed to carried out through the program. They had done a
remarkable job and therefore, the school was looking forward to have more
collaboration with them in the future.

Before the first activity was held, the pupils were divided into 10 small groups. Each
group was supervised by two facilitators. This group forming activity was handled by
the facilitators. Each group was asked to name their team with their favourite cartoon
characters. When this activity was done, three groups remained in the hall, while the
other seven groups had to move out and were given some other places around the
school (which had been prepared earlier) to do the activities like in the library, science
room, computer lab, three classrooms and the remedial room.

For the first activity, there were two subs – activities needed to be done. Each activity
was given about 30 minutes to be completed. For the first task, which is called ‘Match
up’ the pupils were divided into two smaller group. For this activity, the pupils
seemed to enjoy themselves. However, they admitted that they found it was hard to
complete this activity because they had to ask so many questions in English to get the
task done, yet they were lack of vocabulary to do so. When they were doing the
second task, it had become much more interesting because they really had to come up
with the new words. Some of them had brought the dictionary along so, they were
quite prepared to proceed with the activity. However, the committee had also provided
the dictionary which had been borrowed from the school library.

For the second activity, pupils were asked to find a friend or more that shared the
same listed things or activities in the table given. This activity had enabled them to
communicate with each other actively by using Standard English in a well-behave
manner. This activity had also made them to get to know their friends more closely
too. As for the other task in the second activity, pupils had to use their thinking skills
to get the answers for the problems given. This activity had brought them to work
each other cooperatively as they need to help each other to complete the task.

After having their morning break, all pupils were asked to gather back in the hall for
the third activity. However, they were still sitting in their previous group. For the third
activity each group had to compete with each other to become the champion. At this
stage, cooperation and unification were determined. For the third activity, each group
was collecting marks from the tasks they have completed. At the end of the session,
group “Shinchan” won the first place with the highest total mark of 53/60, followed
by group “Kamen Rider” and group “Kim Possible”.

The group presentation was very surprising. All groups had put their best effort to
perform in front of other friends. This activity was really entertaining and brought a
great laughter.
The prizes and certificates for all participants and not forgetting the facilitators were
given during closure ceremony. The headmaster of the school gave a brief speech
before being invited again to give away the prizes and certificates. He said that this
program should be an annual activity of the school since there were many
advantageous pupils could get from it. He also thanked the facilitators for their
tremendous help in order to succeed this camp.

2.7 STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSS

This camp had really open the pupils eyes’ that learning English is fun, fun and fun
especially when they had interest towards learning the language itself. So, this camp
had successfully achieved the objectives. From the feedback we received, about 65
percent of the pupils had stated that they had learned many new and interesting things
about learning English. It had also helped them not to feel awkward or shy when
talking in English with friends and teachers.
However, the facilitators told that they had a very hard time to complete the earlier
tasks in the first and second activity because the pupils kept insisting them to
communicate in Malay. The pupils also having difficulties to speak in English that
caused by lacking of vocabulary. So, they felt quite stressful, sometimes bored and a
bit disappointed because they were feeling that they had been left behind during the
activities were running on.

2.8 SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMANDATIONS

As for the positive feedbacks the committees get from the pupils and parents
themselves, it had been agreed that this camp will be held annually. However, they are
hoping that the duration of the program is being extended so that much more activities
could be done and the pupils could accommodate themselves to the language. It had
also being suggested that on the next camp, two pupils (a boy and a girl) being
selected as the best participants. This would motivate the other pupils to perform well
in the camp.

2.9 CONCLUSION
This camp had been a success! It had brought up a new dimension to pupils of this
towards English language. The pupils are now obviously much more comfortable and
confidence to communicate with teachers and their classmates (even though most of
them are speaking broken English). However, that is really a good start. In the future,
all English teachers hope that all pupils would get the best of benefits from this
activity which could contribute to strengthen their language skills thus improve their
examination result for English.
