Workshop for English instructors

-
I was invited to conduct a workshop for English instructors whose English probably were a lot better than mine. Help them discover themselves, the importance of knowing their students well. The aim is to help them help their students learn and love English. Their strengths and limitation explored. Bridge the gap between their them and their differences. Just share some helping skills for helping professionals. Injected creativity in the teaching illustrating my activities are examples of strategies to use in classroom. Help them relate to the world of their students and detach from their on presumptious view of their typical students who seem problematic students. Alhamdullilah they seem to be quite acceptance. I ve learned a lot from this interaction and hope (if not as much I wanted them to) they learn something from my session. Yup... as I said and repeated again and again and will reiterate " English is a medium" anything under the sun can be the content to teach people learn and love English... I miss teaching English...

That was the year we had Eid celebrated yearly at the Kulliyyah. Suhailah told me, her husband wanted to go for haj this year so she submitted the form. I heard and thought of it but deep down knew, it was not possible.  But as I got back to the office, I thought of responding to the email inviting IIUM staff to apply for Haj trip that year. It was a normal busy days at the Department, I filled the form and requested my PA Ika to find time when she could send the form to the office of the mosque. It was passed over due. With the thought, they would put me in the queue: next year, the year after or whenever. Not Just another phone call Thu Sept
