IT IS a known fact that children learn best when they are having fun and the British Council Teaching Centre in Kuala Lumpur, has of this year, introduced new teaching tools specifically designed to engage and motivate children in ways that traditional teaching cannot achieve.
New teaching tools have been introduced to keep the chilldren engaged and motivated in class.
Our approach has always been to stimulate our young learners with exciting activities that not only improve their language skills but also their confidence,” said Melanie Hutton, the British Council’s young learner manager.
The enhancements to the syllabus for young learners include the introduction of a range of up-to-date course books, digital software and hardware, as well as web resources. A new digital software called Genki English for those aged between five and eight, will be used in the KL centre’s classrooms which have been equipped with interactive whiteboards (IWB) since 2002.
Older students aged between 13 and 17 on the other hand, will get to use award-winning software called Language Garden which challenges them to focus on sentence construction that motivates and develops literary awareness at the same time. — By CINDY POH
