SCHOOL’S 2010 ENGLISH MONTH CAMPAIGN PROGRAMME REPORT
By NURHAFIZAH BINTI AJLAN
En. Othman Bin Md Ali,
Headmaster,
Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Senta,
35500 Bidor,
Perak.
21 April 2011
Dear Sir,
As you requested, the following is the progress report on the school’s English MonthCampaign programme held previously. The report was made purposely to highlight two main
events particularly which were held to enhance the usage of English Language among the
pupils in this school and to increase their interest towards English Language.
Abstract
The school had successfully carried out the school’s English Month Campaign on the April
4th 2010. A few significant events were also held in conjunction to the particular campaign.
The events were intentionally held to encourage the pupils the needs of increasing their
competency in the English Language. As one of the main subject for the UPSR examination,
English is always seen as one of the cause of pupils’ failure in obtaining straight A’s in the
test. As the school had achieved a deprived achievement in the 2010 UPSR, the school
administrators and the English Panel feel that some changes should be planned and acted out
to foster pupils’ interest towards the language and at the same time perform well in their
3

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/english-programmes-report 4/16
exams. These are the reasons why the programmes were held. The main focuses are to
increase their competency and at the same time for the need of UPSR.
Introduction
The English Panel Committee of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Senta had proposed
two main events previously in conjunction with our 2010 English Month Campaign. The
events were, ‘ Spell It Right Challenge’ for Phase I and II pupils and Story Telling
Competition which was for Phase 1 pupils ( Year 1, 2 and 3 ). The events were successfully
carried out by the English Panel Committee Members and the participation was tremendous.
As requested, the following is the progress report on the 2010 English Month Campaign
and the focus was specifically towards the two main events mentioned earlier.
Summary
The school had successfully carried out the school’s 2010 English Month Campaign on
April 4th May 2010 . A few significant events were also held in conjunction to the particular
campaign. The events were planned and prepared purposely to encourage the pupils to
enlarge their needs of boosting their competency in the usage of English Language in their
daily life especially at school.
Previously, the English Panel Committee of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Senta has
carried out a special meeting on 24th February 2010 as requested by the headmaster. The
request was made as the prior UPSR examination results has shown a dramatically poor
English performance which resulted in a lesser amount of pupils obtaining straight A’s in the
test. Prior to the request, the English Panel has taken the situation seriously and this is the
reason why the programmes were held. It also one of the best way to help the school increase
the percentage of A’s in English Language in the UPSR examination.
As a result of the English Panel Meeting, a resolution has been made by all the English
teachers that the school should organize an extensive and effective English Month or
Campaign in the month of May and two major events were proposed as below:
4
8/4/2019 English Programmes Report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/english-programmes-report 5/16
a. Spell it Right Challenge
b. Story Telling Competition
A special organizing committee has also been formed to visualize the events dated above.
The paperwork has been sent to the headmaster to visualize the details of the intended and
extensive programmes. The District Education Officer has also been informed about the
campaign. The school was also glad with the acceptance of the Batang Padang District
Education Officer, En. Mohd Bashah to support the programmes and he had also
officiated the opening ceremony to the English Month Campaign 2010.
Discussion / Problem Statement
As we know, English is one of the major subject for the UPSR examination. At the moment,
the school has scored only 69.9% overall achievement in the 2010 UPSR and English has
only contributed 71.1% towards the overall school’s result. Out of 15 pupils who took the
test, only 8 pupils scored A in English which has contributed 53.3% of A’s, 4 out of the 15
pupils got B which has contributed 26.7% and the rest of 3 pupils got C which has
contributed 20% in the exam. And, generally, 8 pupils scored 5A’s `in the test. The
headmaster has urged the School’s English Panel Committee to strengthen the pupils’ English
achievement by listing out more drastic changes. He has also recommended that more
extensive and effective English Programmes should be held to improve pupils’ competency
in the language. He feels that better achievement in English will be resulting in getting more
pupils scoring 5A’s in the oncoming 2011 UPSR. Apart from that, the school attempts to
achieve 80 % of English passes with A’s in the UPSR for the coming years reduce the
number of pupils who are unable to master the three main skills in language learning
(speaking, reading and writing) by the end of the 6 years primary schooling in the school.
Pupils need to master the three basic skills before entering the secondary school for the next
years.
The panel feels that English can be quite difficult to master especially for learners
who are not a native speakers and not using the language as their mother tongue. And
furthermore, the pupils come from the race of ‘Orang Asli’ who do not use English at all astheir language. According to our research and observation, English Language is not the
5
8/4/2019 English Programmes Report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/english-programmes-report 6/16
second language anymore but it becomes their third language . So, some extreme and
extensive resolutions should be made to tackle and handle those kind of obstacles in order to
increase the percentage of pupils getting A’s in English. However, pupils are expected to
have certain knowledge in English language so as to be able to continue their studies and
communicate easily in their personal and examination purposes. One of the most obvious
reasons that produce pupils’ weaknesses in English is their lack of will and awareness. They
often think that there is no point in learning another language, so that, they do not put any
effort on it. Some of them may give some attention but they give up eventually because of the
hard work and practices that it demands. There are also indolent pupils who just prepare to
pass the exam. Therefore, they rarely remember anything after the test. In addition, they
always feel very shy to try to speak or communicate in English because they do not have
enough self motivation towards learning and lack of vocabulary in English Language.
The school’s English Panel attempts to achieve 80 % of English passes with A’s in
the UPSR for the coming year 2011 and also putting an effort by arising the number of
pupils who are obtaining A’s in English for the UPSR test on this coming September. . The
panel also aims that in the oncoming UPSR examination, a number of 12 out of 15 pupils will
obtain A in the test. The members will be working with full commitment, equipped with
specific skills and requisite knowledge base, to ensure effective teaching and learning process
as well as pupils’ language mastery.
In order to obtain pupils interest in English, the panel has proposed two main events
in conjunction with the 2010 English Month Campaign. The programmes are ‘School’s Spell
It Right Competition’ and ‘Story Telling Competition’. The details and report on those two
events are as follows:
a. School’s 2010 Spell It Right Challenge.
The challenge was held on Monday, 4th May 2010 at 8.00 a.m. at the school hall . The
challenge seeks to discover individuals at primary school level who possess an outstanding
command of English vocabulary. Participants were pupils from Year 1 to year 6 pupils. They
were at first selected by the English teachers and compete among their classmates at
preliminary round in inter-classes competition. 24 participants from Phase I and 24 pupilsfrom Phase II took part in the event. The one day programme was successfully held and the
6

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/english-programmes-report 7/16
ceremony was officiated by Batang Padang District Education Officer En. Mohd Bashah
and later on gave away the prizes to the winners.
•
Aims and ObjectivesThe objectives for the School’s Spell It Right Challenge 2010 are as below:
i.Pupils will be good spellers
ii. Pupils will enjoy spelling some English words
iii. Pupils vocabulary will be amplified to have wide range of vocabulary
iv. Pupils will become more mature and responsible leaders
v. Pupils will be interested in the language
The programme also aims that the audience who are students from Year One to Year Six
would be interested in enhancing themselves in the English Language. It aims that the pupils
will be motivated as they witness the participants involving in the event. The panel feels that
the activity could be implemented in classes during English periods such as having a ‘5-
minutes slot’ each time before starting every English lesson.
• Duration
The competition was held in classes ( inter-classes ) by the English teachers during English
periods. The eligible pupils were then contested themselves in the finals which is held on the
4th April 2010. The event is held for only a day ( see appendix 1 ) at the school hall.
• Target Group
A number of 26 pupils from various Phase I and II classes took part in the challenge. They
were divided into several groups. Twelve final contestants were selected to merge to the final
challenge to pick up the winner.
• Implementation Report
The challenge which was held on Monday, 4th April 2011 at 8.00 a.m. at the school hall
was indeed a success as the participants have shown their unsurpassed effort to be the winner
in this spectacular event. The hall was fully packed with phase II students who really enjoyed
7

the event and supported their friends who became contestants in the particular occasion. A
total of RM1031 was used as the prizes, hall decorations, and contribution for the judges,
promotions and souvenirs to the guest over honour.
The winners for this spectacular event for Group 2 ( Phase II pupils) were Dayana a/p

The first place winner The second place winner The third place winner
• Strengths and Weaknesses
The School’s Spell It Right Challenge 2010 has its strengths and weaknesses. The members
of English Panel feel that a few significant advantages were shown during and after the event
was held. The event which is considerably rich in detail has caught the interest of the
audience as well as the participants. The audience was stimulated by the event which has
really motivated them. One of the strength of the event is that it also does not require a great
deal of training. What it needs is practice. So, a very good and hard effort of drilling in
spelling needed to get win. Spelling skill needs them to be more focus and practicing more on
memorizing skill.
Anyway, there are still some weaknesses which could be improvised if the event is going
to be held in future. The event works well for observing one individual, but is difficult to use
8
8/4/2019 English Programmes Report
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/english-programmes-report 9/16
when observing a group of pupils. We could not have a detail and individual observing for
spelling skill because it was held in a big group. The event has its weaker side as only a
number of pupils are able to participate in an event while the others are only observers which
were hard to observe and analysed. It also depends on the memory of the participants. This is
because, some of the pupils have a short-term memory and some of them are good in
memorizing which have a long-term memory skill.
.
• Suggestion and Recommendation
The English Panel Committee of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Senta feels that the same
events should be regularly held annually but in a larger scale. The event should also be
implemented in English classes as set induction or part of teaching activities to foster better
English mastery learning among pupils. For example, the English teachers or the teachers
who are on duty on that particular week, can ask the pupils in the assembly to spell certain
words and reward them by giving some mini gifts to the pupils who spell correctly. As a
result, the pupils will fill highly motivated to try more activities in future.
b. Story Telling Competition
The competition was held on Thursday, 11th May 2010 at 8.00 a.m. at the school hall. The
competition has also shown a fabulous success as the participants have shown their unrivalled
attempt to be the winner in this spectacular event. Participants have prepared themselves well
with the costumes and gadgets. They practiced by themselves everyday during recess time in
front of the English Teachers so that the teachers can give some suggestions or corrections
towards their pronunciation and art of performing the stories.
• Aims and Objectives
The objectives for the Story Telling Competition 2010 are as below:
i. Pupils will be good story tellers
ii. Pupils will foster their listening skills
iii. Pupils’ vocabulary will be improved
9

iv. Developing pupils’ speaking skills
v. Pupils will be interested in the language
vi. Built their self confidence and motivation to speak in public by using English as their
medium of communication.
The programme also aims that the audience who are from Phase II pupils from Year Four
to year Six would be interested in enhancing themselves in speaking skill which would
contribute to improve their competency in the usage of English Language. It also aims that
the pupils will be motivated as they witness the participants contesting in the event. The panel
feels that the activity could be implemented in classes during English periods and selected
pupils will be presenting their stories during the weekly assembly. This kind of activity can
be done weekly or monthly as a booster for them to use English everyday.
• Duration
The event is also held for only a day ( see appendix 2 ) as the final is contested by chosen
participants selected by the English teachers.
• Target Group
The event is targeted for Phase II pupils. A number of 26 pupils from various classes
from Phase II classes took part in the challenge. This group is targeted to enroll in the events
as their mastery in English is quite superior compared to the Phase I pupils. And, in addition,
phase II pupils are more confident and mature enough to be in front of the audience.
• Implementation Report
The event which was witnessed by the whole pupils and teachers in the school was really
a great achievement done by the organising committee. The participation was tremendous as
the contestants had shown their great effort in enlightening their convincing stories and the
costumes were prepared stylishly, attractive and accurate to the stories. The committee would
like to highlight their thankfulness to the parents as well as the teachers for their total support
which has lead to the success of the event. A total of RM1500 was used as the prizes, halldecorations, gadgets, contribution for the judges, promotions and souvenirs.

• Strengths and Weaknesses

The School’s Story Telling Competition 2010 also has its strengths and weaknesses. The
panel members feel that it has shown some advantages during and after the event was held.
The event has caught the interest of the audience as well as the participant with the
attractively enlighten stories, colourful props, pleasant music and stunning costumes and the
use of interesting tone of voice made the audience proud and enjoyed the stories. The
audience intend to spell the words pronounced by the judges in the event.. The event has
really motivated them. The event also does not require a great deal of training but practice of
reciting the stories everday. This is one of the way to let them interested towards reading
especially English Story Books.
Nevertheless, there are still some weaknesses which could be improvised if the event is
going to be held in future. The event works well only for individuals who are participating in
the event while the audience are just done with listening activity. The audience are not
involved meaningfully in the event to foster their learning in the target language. The
weakest part is that observation has proved that not all pupils are able to understand the story.
The event was indeed time consuming as participants need time to practice and prepare for
the costumes and props. Extensive drilling and practices can make the pupils to be mor well-
prepared and enhancing their self confidents too.
• Suggestion and Recommendation
The English Panel Committee of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Senta feels that the same
events should be regularly held annually but in a larger scale. The event should also be
implemented in English classes as set induction or part of teaching activities to foster better
English mastery among pupils or it can be done fortnight or monthly just to let them more
familiar with English stories.
The English Panel Committee of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Senta also would
like to list out all the expenses used to put together the two main events. The expenses for
those two events were collected from various sources. We were thankful to the donators and
contributors which had given us enough sums to spend over the expenses needed to employ
12
8/4/2019 English Programmes Report

the events. The donation was spent meaningfully in various activities in conjunction with the
events. The donors, contributors are the sums are as follow:
NO SOURCE OF FINANCIAL AMOUNT
(RM)
1 Donation from Proton Sdn Bhd 1500.00
2 Parents Teacher Association Fund 500.00
3 Donation from Teachers / School’s Workers 300.00
4 Contribution from Parents 231.00
TOTAL 2531.00
Conclusion
The events and related activities were successfully held and caught the interest of the
pupils. The events has indeed benefited the pupils in improving their speaking, listening and
improve their mastery in English especially their vocabulary. This kind of activity really
needs a great effort and focus from the pupils, teachers and their parents too. The Committee
of English Panel does need to attend to any suggestions from the headmaster or any
individuals who could help to prevail the pupils’ achievement in English.
