TITLE OF PRESENTATION:

READING COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES

Literature is part and parcel of the Malaysian secondary schools English language learning curriculum. In literature study, novel is one of the compulsory readings. However, when was the last time your students finished reading novels on their own? General observations have suggested that it is becoming more apparent to educators that nowadays students either do not usually complete their novel reading on their own or they are experiencing poor reading comprehension skills which discourage them to read. Therefore, it is significant to grow learners who are able to read and comprehend the novels independently. In developing the learners towards becoming successful autonomous readers, teachers should avoid spoon-feeding the learners by teaching them to read and understand novels in a manner that is consistent with how they will read and comprehend as adults. To achieve that, effective comprehension strategies should be adopted. Adler (2001) explains that comprehension strategies are conscious plans or steps that are taken in making sense of a text. A well planned comprehension strategy instruction can assist learners to become active readers who can manage their own reading comprehension. In the workshop, participants will gain rich exposure to several comprehension strategies which can help students to enhance their reading skills through classroom activities, particularly in dealing with average and above proficiency learners. These strategies provide specific instructions for developing and retaining comprehension skill. Implementing the following strategies have found to improve reading comprehension lesson successfully.

TITLE OF PRESENTATION:

"READ-TO-WRITE" HELPS NEW WRITERS IN WRITING QUALITY ESSAY: PUPILS OF SK BEBULOH EXPERIENCE

As new writers, pupils have difficulties in writing a good essay that can sustain the interest of the reader. Working on the five steps writing process isn’t easy for them. This is because they lack skills in generating, planning and expanding the ideas. ‘Read-to-Write’ approach helps pupils to solve the problems mentioned. In this approach, pupils need to read and understand the sample essay given. Then, they need to complete the ‘POS’ table which helps to activate schema and finally they have to write an essay of slightly similar topic. This paper presents a qualitative approach using observation and documentation of 25 pupils of Year 6 Diamond of SK Bebuloh, Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan. The pre test and post test result showed that ‘Read-to-Write’ approach is able to improve new writers in writing a quality essay. They are able to convey their ideas clearly in an organized order and showed confidence in using the language.

Modul HITS

Modul Hafal, Isi, dan Tulis (HITS) telah digunakan untuk membantu murid yang mengalami masalah untuk menulis karangan terutamanya dari kalangan kelas-kelas bermasalah pembelajaran. Berdasarkan kajian yang telah dibuat, murid yang mengalami masalah tersebut adalah berpunca daripada beberapa faktor, antaranya adalah kurangnya kosa kata, tidak tahu cara mengembangkan idea, dan isi yang tidak tersusun dalam sesebuah karangan. Hasilnya, acap kali semasa peperiksaan, guru menemukan beberapa helai kertas kosong yang tidak ditulis apa-apa ataupun hanya menulis tidak lebih daripada setengah muka surat. Oleh yang demikian, Modul HITS telah digunakan untuk memudahkan murid menyambung dan menyusun idea menjadi sebuah karangan yang lengkap dan berupaya membantu mereka untuk lulus dalam mata pelajaran Bahasa Melayu SPM. Modul HITS memerlukan murid untuk menghafal dan memahami kerangka yang telah disediakan, kemudian ditulis semula dalam bentuk sebuah karangan yang lengkap. Latihan yang berulang-ulang perlu dilakukan dengan bimbingan guru ataupun rakan sebaya agar murid dapat menguasai sepenuhnya Modul HITS sebelum peperiksaan.

TITLE OF PRESENTATION:

THE LIVING PHOTOGRAPH BIG BOOK

There are 4 poems for students to learn in SPM. This big book on the poem ‘The Living Photograph’ for Form 4 is to enhance the teaching of the poem especially to the weaker and average students. This is to encourage them to read and understand the poem by looking at the pictures which will attract their attention in class. This big book consists of a few pages whereby the explanation of the poem is done line by line. It includes the setting, persona, tone & mood, moral value and lastly the themes. Pictures were drawn by the students themselves. Based on this poem, 25 questions will be given to the class to see if they remember what they have learnt from the poem. It was found that their attention span increased. The wordings were easier to understand. Vocabularies were simplified so that they could understand and memorize well. Though there are a few limitations such as time constraints in doing the big book and students’ involvement, the outcome of it and the students’ interaction in communicating in the language is very promising. The full findings on the outcome will be presented in CAIELTS 2017.

TITLE OF PRESENTATION:
IMPROVING ESL LEARNERS' COHERENCE AND COHESION IN WRITING THROUGH ANALOGY

As ESL educators are solely focusing on the technical and grammatical parts in writing, ESL learners' coherence and cohesion are always hampered in a basket of ignorance among educators. Having good coherence and cohesion in writing is important to produce essays that are smoothly structured. One of the methods to improve ESL learners' coherence and cohesion in writing is by guiding them with a method of teaching writing through analogy. The respective method would help and guide students to develop their ideas and construct sentences in their essays. Besides that, using analogy in teaching writing is not only helping in term of learners cohesion and coherence, but it would also inject the element of fun in pedagogical aspect.

KEBERKESANAN MODUL CaTu

Modul CATU (Baca dulu baru Tulis) diilhamkan atas keperluan untuk menggalakkan murid-murid membaca terlebih dahulu bagi menambah ilmu pengetahuan dan kosa kata sebelum mula menulis kerana kemahiran menulis merupakan kemahiran yang paling tinggi dalam ilmu bahasa. Dalam bacaan inilah seharusnya guru-guru memperkenalkan laras bahasa, kosa kata, ungkapan menarik dan gaya penulisan tersendiri. Satu usaha telah dirangka untuk menerapkan amalan membaca dalam kalangan murid-murid melalui Modul CATU. Modul ini disediakan untuk membantu guru-guru menggalakkan murid-murid membaca khususnya bagi menambah bilangan kosa kata mereka di samping menyediakan ruang untuk murid mempelopori ilmu baharu semasa perbincangan di dalam kelas. Diharapkan modul ini akan dimanfaatkan sebagai medan perbincangan di dalam kelas semasa proses mengajar penulisan.

PENTAS CERITA

Pentas Cerita merupakan salah satu pendekatan yang sesuai digunakan untuk membina kecekapan berbahasa dalam pengajaran KOMSAS kerana cerita dapat menarik minat dan perhatian murid. Hasil daripada penilaian dan pengamatan guru terhadap minat murid kepada Teks KOMSAS (Komponen Sastera) adalah amat mendukacitakan. Guru dapati murid malas membaca teks tersebut selain faktor kurang memahami dan menghayati jalan cerita dalam sesebuah karya. Situasi ini telah menyukarkan guru menyampaikan pengajaran dengan berkesan disebabkan faktor murid tidak menguasai cerita. Oleh itu, melalui pendekatan Pentas Cerita ini, dapat menyelesaikan masalah tersebut iaitu murid mudah faham dan menguasai jalan cerita, melatih kemahiran lisan (mendengar dan bertutur), membaca (memahami), dan menulis. Latihan pemahaman, perluasan perbendaharaan kata dan tatabahasa dapat disampaikan dan menghiburkan para murid sambil belajar. Secara keseluruhannya, pendekatan Pentas Cerita ini dapat membantu guru mengajar dengan lebih mudah dan berkesan.

'P.O.P BUS’ … SOLVE YEAR FIVE PUPILS OF SEKOLAH KEBANGSAAN PANTAI PROBLEMS IN LEARNING SIMPLE PRESENT AND PAST TENSE

In learning English Language, it is important for the pupils to understand the concept of Present Tense and Past Tense. It is because these two grammatical items express whether an action currently going on or had happened. Unfortunately, the weak pupils in my respective school had difficulties to understand and use these grammatical items correctly due to misapprehend of the concept of Singular or Plural. The pupils also cannot identify the Present Tense and Past Tense situation. Besides that, the pupils have problems to remember the rules that related to these grammar. P.O.P BUS had successfully solved the problems mentioned above. P.O.P BUS is a card with two buses design attached together which include all the information related to grammatical items. A slot on the body of each bus is used to insert sentence strips. The time frame printed on the body of the buses assist pupils to indicate habitually performed, Present Tense or Past Tense. P.O.P BUS boost up pupils’ interests and self-esteem in learning English Language. This hands-on activity gives clear picture of the concept of Present Tense and Past Tense as they look, read, learn and play. Data gathered showed that pupils were able to differentiate and understand singular and plural form of Simple Present Tense as well as Simple Past Tense.

OMG MAP

The aims of this research are to help pupils master writing sentences using OMG Map and to determine the effects of basic mastery of writing on pupils’ behaviours. This research included eight Year 6 pupils from a school in Labuan. Pupils were chosen based on a diagnostic test and structured observation on their behaviours before they master writing a variety of sentences. The action started with pre-test whichwas implemented to see pupils’ mastery level before the action. Then, the first step was implemented using OMG Map followed by the second step, writing sentences by constructing their own OMG Map. The third step is constructing simple and compound sentences using the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th strategy of OMG Map. The fourth step is using the combination of OMG Map. Post-test was implemented after the fourth step to see pupils’ mastery level after the action. To obtain validity and reliability of the data, semi-structured interview was carried out to identify the types of errors that caused failure in the post-test. Structured observations were conducted to see changes in pupils’ behaviour. Data were collected based on triangulation then were analysed and interpreted in detail. The finding revealed that using OMG Map helped pupils in mastering writing sentences and it changed the behaviour of those pupils to become better.
