The Knight in Shinning Armour

Session  : 1
Time       : 9 a.m. - 10.30 a.m.
By           :  Carole

'Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapon of its future conquests' - 'Samuel Taylor Coleridge'


 

            Language is the most powerful tool in communication. If it is unclear, people will misunderstood the message. Carol, our trainer taught us that knowing and understanding the different use of genre-based approach is important and it is not just for the teacher to plan and prepare but also for the students to identify and understand the language features that they need to equip themselves for their future life.
            I feel that this lesson is utterly important for us, the educators to prepare ourselves with such important knowledge and apply it in our teaching once we are back in our institution. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and thank you to Jabatan Pengajian Politeknik, WKC trainers and especially to Carol for exposing us on this lesson, and of course for being such a great teacher and trainer.
          Last but not least, to my students, if you ever read this, language is definitely your armour, to prepare you for a new battle in the real world. Learn and prepare yourself and may the force be with you. :)
