Co-Academic Activities

I just returned from a 3-day, 2 night workshop on how to administer co-academic activities for the English Language Clubs/Societies held at Swiss Inn, Sungai Petani.
Other than getting to meet fellow English teachers, I also got to learn quite a lot. It's amazing how much more there is to learn and unlearn and then relearn. Over more than 100 teachers from the state of Kedah got insights into how to train choral speakers, debaters, public speakers and drama actors. What's more is that we got illuminated on how to judge these competitions and thus be able to train our students better.
English teachers tend to be a fun lot and this fact was proven true yet again. I managed to meet a few old friends and forge new friendships.
Now what I cannot wait for is to find the students to train for public speaking.
