CLS Hosts “Drill in Report Writing” Program to Boost Form 5 Students’ Writing Skills
September 13, 2024 | Muar | The Centre for Language Studies (CLS), UTHM has successfully organised an innovative English language teaching program designed to enhance the report writing skills of Form 5 students of SMI At-Tanwiriah (Tahfiz). The program, titled “Drill in Report Writing”, took place today and was tailored to help students master the art of crafting effective and well-structured reports.
The initiative, held in the school’s Ibnu Sina Hall, aims to address common challenges students face when responding to report writing questions. At the heart of the program is the “magic template,” a strategic tool created by a CLS teacher to streamline the report writing process and improve students’ performance.
Mrs. Ainul Afiqin, the coordinator of the program, explained the purpose of the program: “We recognize that report writing can be a daunting task for many students. Our ‘magic template’ is designed to simplify the structure and make it easier for students to organize their thoughts and present their findings clearly and coherently.”
The program featured a series of interactive workshops and practical exercises. One of it was ‘ticking bomb’ game where the students have to pass around a ball in their group and have to stop when the song stopped. The person who has the ball will have to write down their answer on the shared whiteboard, representing their group. In the end, each group will have a whole report that was written by all members.
The response from students was overwhelmingly positive. Nur Amirah, a Form 5 student, shared her thoughts: “The magic template is a game-changer. It breaks down the report writing process into manageable steps and makes it so much easier to follow. I feel more confident about my upcoming exams now.”
The teachers also expressed their support for the program, noting its potential to positively impact students’ academic performance. Mr. Naqib, the school’s English teacher, remarked, “It’s great to see CLS providing such practical tools. This program is a fantastic way to equip our students with skills they will use in their upcoming SPM soon.”
CLS plans to continue offering similar programs to further support students’ language development and academic success.
