The Supplementary Reading Programme (SRP) is part of the Capacity Building initiative for teachers through a collaborative effort between ERPD and ELTC to upscale the teachers’ instructional skills and pedagogical content knowledge.
The Course Objectives include:
1. To expose course participants to resources, ideas and strategies that will enable them to maximize the use of resources provided under the MOE – UNICEF – OGFICE strategic partnership.
2. To provide teachers serving in remote and island schools an opportunity for professional development thereby enhancing their capacity to deliver the national English language curriculum.
3. To sensitize course participants to the fact that learning outcomes specified in the curriculum can be achieved in a range of learning contexts though imaginative use of limited resources.
4. To provide teachers serving under challenging circumstances an opportunity to network with their peers serving under similar constraints.
The Programme:
19 primary school teachers from the outskirts of Kuching participated in this programme held at the Regency Rajah Court Hotel, Kuching, Sarawak from 2 – 5 February 2010. Based on the new Primary English syllabus, the teachers were introduced to Basic Decoding Skills and utilized the resources provided for practice. As major components of the course, Read Alouds and Story Telling activities were also carried out. In addition, sessions were allocated for the teachers to explore Text-based grammar, non-fiction texts and language games. Written feedback was encouraging and positive. More than 90% of the teachers believed that the course was insightful, informative and practical. They also agreed that the course should be extended to the other teachers in Sabah and Sarawak.
