The teachers are struggling with teaching in English. One spoke like bullet train, and asked the students to change to Arts stream when they said “don’t understand”. Another is trainee teacher is doing practicals and the students are made scapegoats because they guy can’t speak properly. The third teacher also unable to communicate in English well.
So, this makes me wonder. What do you mean by teaching science subjects in English?
This reminded me of my Physics teacher who taught me when I was in form 4 and 5.
She had trouble speaking English, but I give her full merits for actually taking up the initiative to study basic English and to our surprise asked us to correct her if she did any mistakes in her English.
Bravo, Cikgu Hanim Fatihah from SMK St. Francis Melaka.
Sadly, she was transferred to another school earlier this year.
