Name:

ELVIN NIPOK

School:

SK MELAYU PUSAT, LIMBANG

To be completed by the teacher during discussion with your mentor: Plan (early 2013) 1. Look at the Project teacher self-assessment chart. What will be your targets for 2013? Looking back to the Project teacher self-assessment chart, for the overall general language ability, I put myself to the B2 level. Im not really satisfied with my own achievement for last year. So, for this year, Im planning to increase my capability and knowledge in the four main skills. Here are my targets for the four main skills : 1. Speaking I would like to enhance my speaking skills to a level that is better than last year so that I am more fluent and accurate. 2. Writing I would like to develop and increase my writing skills to be more fluent and accurate. 3. Listening & reading I would like to enhance my listening and reading skills to a better level than last year.

2. How will you improve your English this year? With your mentor, make a plan for 2013. Think about your targets, different ways to improve your English and how you can share what you do with other project teachers in your group of schools. To improve my English in the four main skills, here are my plans throughout this year. 1. Speaking & Listening - I need more practise, exposure and use of the English language frequently in my daily activities. - To ensure this will be possible, I will use and speak English when : a) meeting my co-mentees in school, b) attending the project activities or workshops, c) doing the inter-school visits, d) doing the peer observation, e) meeting my mentor session.

2. Reading - I need to read a lot of English materials to gain more knowledge and to improve my English. a) Reading the English news from the internet. b) Reading stories to my own kids at home. c) Reading the local English newspapers such as Borneo Post. 3. Writing - To develop my writing skills to be better, I need to get more practise. - By writing my lesson plans and reflection logs, I realised that it was the best way to improve my own writing skills. - Other than that, by writing the most significant change about myself, I was able to see the changes in my writing skills. I was able to see the improvement in my writing. - Therefore, for more practice, I will try to use English when sending e-mails and text messages to my friends. Overall, to ensure the accuracy of the usage of the language, I will use the English Grammar In Use as a main reference. Besides that, I will use a dictionary to check the meaning, spelling and pronunciation of words, surf the internet to get information and resources and using mobile phone applications to get more information that I really need.

Mentors comments on the development plan for 2013: Elvin is conscious of the need to continue to develop accuracy and fluency in speech and writing and to get more exposure and practice of the language. She has drawn up a comprehensive plan to enable her to do this and further develop her confidence in using the language both inside and outside the classroom. She has become increasingly aware of areas of interference from BM and will,hopefully, continue to expand and develop appropriate English Language reference sources.
