The Blog Hunt

Hi there! Assalamualaikum and greetings! I'm Ju (MCE). I've been reading your comments with great interest and I am very happy and relieved that you enjoyed our first session together. Even though, my own group have all yet to give their comments and feedback in the blog, I'm sure they too share the same sentiment. I remember reading comments from En Syed's group. :D I also see that some have even made the effort to create their own blogs! Bravo!
Did you know that many people have blogs including our very own celebrities? You can go read Yasmin Ahmad's blog or Afdlin Shauki's blog, which are very interesting. Or even Patrick Teoh's which has loads of flavour. Haha. You can find cooking blogs and travel blogs and many more. I especially find cooking blogs very helpful because when the writers try a recipe, they will tell us how the food turned out, what to do, what to avoid and what to substitute. No cooking book does that. For example: http://www.elise.com/recipes/

Travel blogs are especially very good because they recommend where to go, what to do and where to eat. I know many of you have gone somewhere on holiday or will be going somewhere for holiday. Why don't you check out a travel blog and tell us how that blog has been helpful. If you are not traveling anywhere, check out any type of blogs and how you have benefited from it.

Sharing is caring...

2. What do you dislike about this course?
3. What is the most memorable activity? Why?
4. What is the least favourite activity? Why?
5. If you were the learning facilitator, what would you do differently and what would you do the same?

Baby steps



Welcome to The English Journey blog and perhaps, who knows, your first blogging experience! This is one of the baby steps we are taking towards creating the English environment at school. We hope to use this blog as a medium to share our learning and teaching experience with each other.

When you post your comments, please include your nickname and the group you are from so that we know who you are.

For example:

Ju MCE (MGS Conversational English)

Balan MPD (MGS Professional Development)




Snowball attack!

Who would've thought that your first English experience would be to throw 'snowballs' at each other? But oh what fun it was! Or wasn't it?

Whether you loved it or hated it, feel free to post your comments about the activity and what you gained from the experience.
