Comments (Strengths/Weaknesses/Suggestions for Improvement)

One of the main objectives of the competition was to encourage students to maximize usage of

the dictionaries to look for words and their meanings which would enhance their vocabulary.

Participation was overwhelming at first as many students handed in their names. However, on

the competition day, many students did not turn up. Fortunately, many other
students,

voluntarily replaced them. This game is interesting and beneficial, and therefore should be held

every year. English language teachers also need to expose their students to the game

This competition’s focus was to search for talented students who have excellent mastery of their

vocabulary and with the ability to spell out words of various difficulty levels correctly. As too

many students handed in their names, the list has to be shortlisted to 20 participants only. This

is identified as the strength of the competituon, it was able to attract many students. However,

one of the weaknesses is the difficulties if the words to be spelled out in the first round, resulting

in majority of the form one students disqualified at the preliminary round. Therefore, it is to be

noted that in future, these two points need to be taken into consideration:- number
of

participants from each class and the suitability of the level of the words for from preliminary to

the final rounds

This competition was actually focused to find new talents for public speaking among the form 4
students, although all upper forms students were encouraged to take part. Only very
few

students handed in their names but most of them had to withdraw the last minute
for

involvement in other activities. The form 4 students (4A, 4B) were reluctant when insisted by

the English teacher (Mdm Agatha) to take part

“The English Language is like a broad river

on whose bank a few patient anglers are sitting,

while higher up, the stream is being polluted by

a string of refuse-people tipping out their muck.”

“Men learn while they teach.”

“Teachers should guide without dictating

and participate without dominating.”

“The only dreams impossible to reach are

the ones you never pursue

You haven’t failed until you stop trying
