Lessons From Writing Lessons

Evelyn Lee Fung Choy

Abstract

Writing has always been considered the most difficult of the four language skills and students have always dreaded writing lessons. This classroom investigation tried out a few writing strategies in an attempt to overcome the fear of writing in students. The strategies used are process writing, journal writing and idea-generating techniques. The change observed in the students was rapid and encouraging. Journals kept throughout the writing course has provided some of the data used in this article.[Kandungan]

 

Collaborating With Adult Learners: Exploring The Role Of The Facilitator

Goh Lay Huah

Abstract

This is an action research. I have adopted a postmodernism approach to research as narrative, that is, "research as it is experienced" and not just "research as it is described" (Packwood & Sikes, 1996). I used myself as a subject of study, the facilitator, with three English Language teachers who are participants in the Smart School In-Service course in Maktab Perguruan Gaya, as my co-researchers. The instruments used were: reflective grids, journal, audio-taped reflection session and a simple checklist. I learned that it was important for a facilitator to posses good interpersonal skills, be a good listener, be positive minded and be constructive. A facilitator who is assertive also seemed to be an important asset to my adult learners.[Kandungan]

 

Hearing And Not Listening !

Gertrude Jock

Abstract

This paper highlights a personal inquiry on 'how hearing and not listening' can affect personal performance. The skill of listening to the spoken words is different compared to the skill of hearing. This difference can generate either good understanding or utter frustration. There are many factors that affect understanding but based on my training sessions, I will share with you my three main factors that have influenced my learners' listening. This influence has affected their understanding. By doing this research, I hope to improve my training strategies and also raise more awareness of the importance of listening in training.

Analysis Of Error Patterns In Whole Number Division

Lee Bee Leng

Abstract

This is an exploratory study on the computational errors in whole number division. The sample consisted of 54 Form One students from a secondary school in Sabah. The instrument used was a written test comprising 48 items in division computation of one-digit divisors and two-digit divisors of 11 and 12. This study identified 29 patterns of errors which were categorized into 4 classifications: basic fact errors, errors arising from zero difficulties, errors occurring in the use of remainders, and errors from faulty procedures. Analysis of error patterns among the different groups of achievers showed that different achieving groups exhibited different common error patterns.[Kandungan]
