The learning container

FROM the outside, there’s nothing extraordinary about the nine-metre cargo container that’s stationed at a park on the grounds of Pangsapuri Enggang in Puchong. Once inside, you’ll be impressed by its “classroom” atmosphere with its tidy rows of computers. It’s also cool inside as the air-conditioners are up and running and that’s a plus for it does make a pleasant and conducive environment for learning and teaching.

It is the place where apartment residents learn English. Almost all are middle-aged and many of them are home makers but that hasn’t deterred them from learning the language. They all display an eagerness to pick up the language.
