Day 2 Session 1(Thursday, 9 October 2014, 9 – 10.30 am)
English Language Class – Hospitality & Tourism
This session was conducted by Katie. In this
session, we were given practice in using the 4 skills of listening, speaking,
reading and writing by doing a dictation and jigsaw reading. The first activity i.e. diction was carried
out as group work. The best part of the
activity was when we were given an example of differentiation and shown how we
as lecturers, could cater for the weak, average and strong students. The weak
students have the shortest texts while the strong students have the longest
texts.
The next
activity was jigsaw reading. It was fun as we had to move around and form new
groups and explain our part of the text to the others. This activity would
definitely be more motivating for our students compared to the practice of just
handing them the text to be read.

Both
activities involve group work. By carrying out the activities, we could
practice using group work in order to increase communication of key
information.
I feel
very fortunate being a participant of this course because I have gained much
knowledge and insights in my interaction with the trainers and the other
participants. I look forward to many more enjoyable and interesting sessions
which will definitely enhance the T&L of English in the classroom.
