Bridging real world experiences

Newspaper as a classroom resource: SMK Tropicana students deep in concentration during an NiE lesson last year.

FOR most students, English language lessons often consist of completing the activities and exercises covered in their textbooks and workbooks. For students who have the opportunity to use The Star’s Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) pullout, however, their English language learning often takes on a life of its own.

SMK Desa Perdana, Kuala Lumpur, English panel head Hemadevi Chandran saw first-hand how students benefited from the educational resource.
