Conversational English

A project proposal by Kee-Chai Chong who has had extensive experience teaching conversational English as a volunteer in Indonesia:

A first small initiative is being planned to bring together interested individuals who want to practise conversational English.  The basic purpose of this informal one-hour session is to provide a setting in which participants can interact in English based on the day’s editorial of a newspaper.  Assisted by a facilitator, participants will be given the opportunity to read aloud the editorial and discuss its key messages, what s/he thinks of them and their implications in their daily life.

As a start, the session will be limited to ten participants and conducted after office hours.  It is opened to working individuals on a first-come-first basis who wish to improve their English conversational skills.   It is free.

This is an initiative of the Malaysian Chapter of the East-West Center Alumni Association.  Venue and time will be announced once there is sufficient interest.  Further details can be obtained by sending a e-mail to Chong Kee-Chai chongkc@yahoo.com or post a comment in this blog.

(Non-profit Organisations and institutions are welcome to participate. This is a community service by the EWC Alumni Assocociation, Chapter of Malaysia.)
