Dear Sir,

Re: New Straits Times-Newspaper In Education Workshop

For primary school teachers

Greetings to you.

Following our tele-conversation recently, I am pleased to inform you that JELTA would like

to conduct a half-day (5 hours) workshop for English language teachers in Chinese primary schools.

The workshop will be conducted by NST-NIE specialist Vincent D’Silva who has been the facilitator for a number of NST-NIE workshops.

Hence, I hope your goodself could enlist some 50 English language teachers currently teaching in these schools to attend the workshop. The venue and date can be at the teachers convenience.

Teachers attending the workshop will be:

- Exposed to various methodology in using the newspaper as a teaching resource.

- Able to make English come alive in the language classroom.

- Able to teach English the “newspaper way”.

- Able to create a potentially more interesting and stimulating lesson for the students.

- Learn how to use the newspaper as a teaching resource.

- Able to acquaint themselves with the physical features of the NST.

- Able to discover the treasures of language embedded in the NST.

- Able to see that all activities fall within the scope of KBSR Eng. Lang. syllabus.

- To show teachers on venturing into the newspaper world.

Hence, I would be grateful if you could arrange a workshop for these teachers to participate and see for themselves the many possible ways of putting the newspaper to judicious use in the ESL classroom.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Warm Regards,

Dear Sir,

Re: Request for monthly contribution towards the English Tuition classes for poor students of Form 4 & 5

At the Sultan Ismail Library

I am currently conducting two English Language classes for Forms 4 (35 students) and 5 (25 students) at the Sultan Ismail Library in JB town.

Students attending these classes come from the very low income group. Hence, I do not charge them for the class. Most of them are from very poor families and can’t afford tuition. The Library is providing the venue for the classes.

This is my part of contribution to help needy families. A little on my part can help these students persevere in their education.

Hence, I would be very grateful if your organization could at least help provide some financial contribution to defray the monthly photocopying expenses which is considerably high.

As you know these are examination classes, a large amount of notes, lessons and exercises need to be photocopied on a regular basis.

With this I look forward for a favourable reply from your end.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
