26 Nov Session 3

Speaking & Listening
We have the privilege of meeting the DGE of Indonesia who is based in Jakarta today for lunch. In spite of his tight schedule, he takes the time to chat with us and find out more about education in Singapore.
Back in the classroom, we engage our participants in more activity-based lessons so that they may use them to engage their own students. It is almost amusing to discover that teachers in both countries have such similar concerns when it comes to keeping our students meaningfully occupied. We are very grateful that our participants are fully present everyday although it can be a rather long day. They motivate us further to do our best with their active participation, positive attitude, their passion to learn and dedication to their students.
For our speaking and listening components, we focus on presentation skills and expressing emotions. We are touched by our participants' sincerity and willingness to share with us. We believe we have created 20 Critical Friends.
