IT IS yesterday once more... No, I’m not harking back to the yesteryear Carpenters’ song that debuted in my then lifetime. I’m referring to real time yesterday – Malaysia’s Teacher Appreciation Day! Understandably, a muted public celebration this year, given the movement control order (MCO) clamp for the well-being of Malaysia.
Nevertheless, deserving teachers were surely showered with good wishes from your well-wishers – past and present. Honestly, I’m grateful to be remembered... still. You see, students never forget how you made them feel. What better way then than stimulating lessons to engage them!
On that note, I vouch that Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) practitioners can boast possessing an extended and exciting repertoire of language teaching strategies both inspiring and empowering. So, MCO or no, go stand by your window to give yourself a shout-out (there’s no ban on noise making even if you’re shut out!) that emanates from a positive inner core formed through your labour of love.
