Leo Kar Chun & Leo Sze Yang changing the word for the day, TWILIGHT!
The word for today is ' servile '
Aghast, means filled with horror amazement
The first day of the A Word A Day projectThis custom made bulletin board, consisting of three special columns for terms, sentence usage, and definition was sponsored by Taylors College after the idea of installing a mobile bulletin dictionary was proposed to our principal. The bulletin board of about 1 meter width and 40 centimeters long was set up at a favourite study spot, the “Serambi Budi” located near the science laboratories. The foremost objective of this project is to promote better understanding of languages amongst the students and also to improve the students’ fluidity in aspects of writing and speaking in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and even foreign languages such as Japanese and Korean. This project will be held throughout the whole fiscal year of 2008/2009 and with high hopes that the Junior Leos will continue the programme in the days yet to come.
The vocabularies of words are changed daily, which promises five different words in a week. Dubbed as the “Vocabulary of the Day”, the term or vocabulary picked is always an exotic or unseen term/words to make it interesting enough to capture the attention of students. For the past month and upcoming month, we have decided to begin the programme with English Language. The language decided will be rotated for every two weeks, starting the month of November on request of the teachers and students. The editors of the bulletin board took turns to select the vocabulary of words of their own choices. The term, usage of the term in a sentence form and the thorough definition of the term are the three main things displayed on the bulletin for a better understanding of the words.
Before displaying the items- be it adjectives, nouns, proverbs, adverbs, and even sayings; they will first be checked and verified by the English teachers to avoid any misusage or errors of the words. The response from the students were astoundingly immense, especially students of the upper form who claimed that the vocabulary of words were really helpful and interesting. This project has claimed strings of praises from the outsiders who visited our school and also from the parents. In a nutshell, this language educational basis programme is indeed a successful one, especially since the vocabulary of the day was implemented during conversations and even used in essays (according to teachers). Kudos to the Taylors College for the constructive sponsorship and fellow Leos!
