The solution over communication issue.

The solution over communication issue.

As written on 20/01/2010.

To control the class, I decided to check on my students, about how many of them able to communicate in Malay and English languange per class, and the result shocked me.



Standard 1 (5 students)
2 student understand and able to reply, 1 understand but cannot reply the rest do not understand Malay or English.



Standard 2 (15 students)
3 students understand and able to reply, 2 understand but cannot reply and the rest (13 students) do not understand Malay or English at all. (They speak Tamil even to me).



Standard 3 (18 students)
4 students understand and able to reply, 3 understand but cannot reply and the rest unable to understand Malay and English language.



Standard 4 ( 11 students)
4 students understand and able to reply, 4 understand but can not reply and the rest can not undertand Malay and English at all.



Standard 5 (14 students)
5 students understand and able to reply, 3 can understand but can not reply and the rest can not understand Malay or English language.


Standard 6 (18 students)
5 students understand and able to reply, the rest understand Malay and English but can not reply.





The conclusion is only 28% of the students in SJKT Ladang getah able to communicate in Bahasa Melayu and English, 26.8% can understand a little bit but can reply (if they do I can not understand) and 45.2% can not communicate in Malay or English at all.

Based on the graph I divided each class into few small group and chose one mentor to each group to control them. The mentors are students that able to communicate well in Malay and English language so I can communicate with them.

So far my class goes a little bit smooth with this small group idea.
