English on the east coast

THE first-ever Melta conference organised by the Malaysian English Language Teachers Association (MELTA) on the east coast was a great success with more than 250 participants attending 47 sessions on the theme “Reading and Writing: Preparing ESL Learners for the Real World”.  

The conference, held at Awana Resort Kijal, Kemaman, was opened by Kuala Trengganu Member of Parliament Datuk Razali Ismail who, in his opening speech, stressed the importance of helping ESL learners face real-life language demands beyond the walls of the classroom.
