I AM a teacher in a rural secondary school. I am passionate and enthusiastic about my teaching profession; to me, teaching is not a profession but a passion.
Encouraged by my former lecturer and supervisor, I decided to present a paper/demonstration, entitled To Play or Not to Play a Role: Teaching Literature in Challenging Circumstances. I was even more inspired when Melta (Malaysian English Language Teaching Association) decided to sponsor my participation at the conference. It was indeed a wise decision on Melta's part to sponsor the participation of some teachers from the rural schools.
