INTRODUCTION
My School is Sekolah Kebangsaan Bobak/Sejinjang, Bau. It is situated in kampong Bobak,
Singai Bau and it is near the mountain. It is about 25km rom the school to Bau. !he school has
about "#$ pupils and has $ classes rom year " to year $. %upils in the school are all Bidayuh.
!eaching &nglish in the school is not easy. It is because the pupils here seldom speak the
language they are more used to speak in Bahasa Malaysia or their mother tongue that is the
Bidayuh language. So each year in order to make the pupils in'ol'ed and ha'e interest in &nglish
(anguage our school ha'e implemented t)o &nglish programmes in )hich it is to be carried out
by our &nglish %anel * %anitia Bahasa Inggeris + e'ery year. !he t)o programmes are Story
!elling competition and ,horal Speaking. My report )ill be on those t)o implemented
programmes.

!he strength o the story telling competition is that the pupils are able to tell their story according
to )hat they ha'e read airly and also the pupils are able to e0press themsel'es and memori3ed
the story that they read. !he pupils also sho)ed their creati'ity in telling the stories. !he pupils

1. R()/$$(08.*#/0
My recommendation or this programme is that the story telling competition should took place in
a suitable place. %upils should be gi'en more time and reedom to tell their stories. !eachers
should also in'ol'e those )ho are not so good in &nglish because this )ill get them more
in'ol'e in the language and )ill also boost their conidence in learning the language. !eachers
also should gi'e the pupils more reedom to choose their o)n stories or the stories that they like
and interested in this )ill enable the pupils to concentrate more because they choose their o)n
story according to their interest. !eacher should also make their o)n small competition in class
during the &nglish lesson to enable them to choose )hich pupil that )ould represent their class
during the story telling competition.

In my opinion )hen I )rite this report I ound out that story telling competition is one o the best
)ay to make our pupils get in'ol'ed in the language. Moreo'er our pupils can de'elop their
&nglish language by learning rom stories. %upils also ha'e the ability to de'elop their creati'ity
by letting them the reedom to choose the story that they like and by letting them make their o)n
style o telling the story. In other )ords let the pupils do )hat they )ant to do and let them
choose )hat story they )ant to read but )ith the guidance o the teacher this )ill gi'e them more
conidence and ability to speak and learn the language. In this )ay )e could obser'e on ho)
they ha'e learn the language. So to conclude my report I ound out that this story telling
programme that )as implemented in my school is one o the best method use to get the pupils to
learn, de'elop and get in'ol'ed in &nglish language and also it can boost conidence in the
pupils to speak the &nglish language )ithout eeling ashamed o themsel'es i they make a small
mistake because like people say practice makes perect.
B! Choral speaking $ompetition report
,horal speaking is an entertaining )ay to learn and to impro'e the language and it also can help
pupils to learn the language through team)ork. In addition it is an important tool or pupils to
impro'e their language skills. ,horal Speaking is the interpretation o poetry or prose by a
group, comprising anything rom hal a do3en to a hundred speakers. It in'ol'es a ull and 'aried
use o the indi'idual 'oices that make up the group.
1. A#$%

".." my conclusion about the choral speaking competition implemented in the school
is another type o method in order to get the pupils to be in'ol'e and make the pupils
interested in learning the language. !his type o programme )ill enable the pupils to
)ork closely in a group and in groups they )ill be able to communicate and help each
other in learning the language. :e'ertheless )ithout eort rom the teachers
in'ol'ed this programme could not be done smoothly and successully. !his
programme is 'ery useul and it is one type o method that can make pupils become
interested and get in'ol'ed in the language because during the preparations beore the
competition pupils )ill only speak in &nglish and they ha'e a little time to
communicate in other language. 7lthough this programme may ha'e uncharacteristic
mistakes or ault it is only technically but o'erall this programme is successul and
pupils gain beneit rom it.
My opinion ater this programme )as implemented pupils )ill surely be interest to
kno) )hen is the ne0t competition )ill be held. It is because they are e0cited and
interested in learning the language. Beore I close my report I )ould assist and gi'e
my suggestion to the teachers in'ol'ed in this programme. (et the pupils )ork on
their o)n and in groups teachers just monitor and correct the mistakes that the pupils
make and guide them.
