"Let's Chat & Talk using MSN" Sharing Session

Once again S.R.T.T held a sharing session on a program called "Let's chat and talk in English using MSN for upper primary pupils" with Tutong II primary schools. 2 schools from Tutong I also came to this session. S.R.T.T introduced this program to Tutong II schools last year and successfully conducted it with some schools. This is a follow up session to share with other schools.





An opening speech our very own Headmaster, Cikgu Mohmad Ali bin Hj Nudin.






Among the objectives of this program are
: Be creative.
: Use standard or proper English language effectively and as mode of communication.
: Share information and current updates of pupils’ daily activities in school.
: Build cross-curricular learning skills.
: Communicate with others and present information in a range of ways.
: Develop the skills to select and use information in a discriminating, purposeful way.
: Increase their confidence and independence in expressing themselves when communicating
with others.



How S.R.T.T uses MSN in English learning?

Today, Instant Messaging in educational setting is relatively new and its usage is viewed as relatively low. However, Sekolah Rendah Tumpuan Telisai took the challenge in carrying out the program as an additional tool in promoting English learning for its pupils.

MSN messaging is carried out during English-ICT lesson. Pupils are allowed to use MSN for 30 minutes only. Sekolah Rendah Tumpuan Telisai has cooperated with other Primary schools in Tutong II in running this program and making it as one of the indirect way of learning practice during English lesson.

In this program, pupils get to use variety features of MSN such as file sharing and video conferencing. During video conferencing, pupils communicate verbally with their partner, thus this may help them to improve their communication (speaking) skill apart from typing the keyboard alone.

Here are some of the benefits


1. It can be used to provide on-demand just-in-time support for pupils.
2. Multiple conversations can be occurring between students or between pupils without any of
them being interrupted or disturbed.
3. More pupils can participate than in a traditional class.
4. It helps pupils prepare for a 21st century multi-tasking work environment.
5. Pupils can communicate with other pupils locally and internationally.
6. It is convenient, fast, quick respond and cheap.
7. Exposed to the use of proper English Language as a mode of communication.


Though MSN is relatively new to the educational environment and it is raising many questions and concerns, this program has proven to give positive impact on pupils’ English learning provided that it is used under full supervision by teachers or parents and only used for educational purposes, in which Sekolah Rendah Tumpuan Telisai has done in running this program efficiently.

So, teachers, would you like to try this program with your pupils?

Give us the feedback :)
