An engaging resource: The newspapers are entirely different from the normal prescribed textbooks and provide a myriad of content for the language learner.
During a Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) workshop I conducted at the 10th Johor English Language Teaching Association conference last year, a young teacher asked me a thought-provoking question.
“Madam,” he said. “In this age of digital technology, does the newspaper really have a place in the English class?”
Published twice monthly on Wednesdays, the colourful 16-page NiE pullout incorporates authentic materials from the newspaper into English language learning. It is written by experienced teachers/specialists and is endorsed by the Education Ministry. The syllabus-based pullout comes with a copy of The Star and is only available through school subscription. For more details, call The Star’s Customer Care Unit at 1-300-88-7827, Monday to Friday (9am-5pm).
