Peer support: Shalina (left) and Carrie Ann taking a shared interest in the NiE pullout.
ESSAY writing is a language task commonly treated as mundane homework for most students.
But for Form Six students Carrie Ann Lim Yi Wen and Shalina Shamsul Bahri, it has become an exciting undertaking ever since they discovered a writing platform in The Star’s Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) pullout for secondary schools.
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).
