To bring about the Joy of Learning MTL and a need to keep MTL as a living language, we strive to continuously enhance our teaching to engage our students in learning. The key areas include enhancement of our in-class teaching and learning in alignment to the 2015 syllabus; programmes organised for greater exposure of our students to the language skills and developing self-directed learning; providing various platforms for display of students’ talents; festival celebrations and MTL fortnight serve to heighten our students’ cultural understanding and appreciation.

MTL Fortnight

To instil a love of learning MT languages in the students, to promote the appreciation of their culture and to enhance their language skills, MTL teachers organise two weeks of fun-filled cultural and language activities for the students every year.

Classroom activities such as Spelling Bee Competition, Inter-class performances, games on idioms and words, the learning, writing of poems, penmanship competitions and reading programmes were carried out across the 3 MTL.

Cultural activities include hands-on experience in making traditional crafts, playing of traditional games, learning about customs and practices of own culture as well as that of other cultures. All P4 students are further immersed in their own culture and cross-culture during the P4 cultural camp.

P2 Speech And Drama

Drama classes are organised for all P2 students with the objectives of developing students’ communication skills through the use of their voice and body language as well as building confidence and effectiveness in communication using MTL in the dramatisation. Students learn MTL through fun.

Reading Progamme

Reading is one of the ways to enhance the learning of MTL. It sparks students’ interest in MTL which leads to greater improvement in their use of MTL in communicating with others and appreciation of MTL. Reading of various reading materials such as newspapers, magazines, story books of various genres, meaningful songs and poems are ways to engage our students.

Each of the MTL has their own unique reading programme. For example, the ML students are exposed in ML through the ‘Marilah Bersastera’ Extensive Reading Programme. MTL Students are exposed to many different kinds of reading materials in order to enhance their mastery of their languages. Accompanying learning materials are also developed to enrich their learning. Students get to do reviews and learn about characterisation and plot.
