JOHOR BARU: Grand BlueWave Hotel will be involved in its fourth collaboration this year with the New Straits Times (NST), Johor English Language Teaching Association (Jelta) and District Education Office for the NST-Newspaper in Education workshop for 80 Form Six students on Oct 14. The one-day NST-NIE workshop will help enhance their critical thinking, writing, comprehension and public speaking skills while introducing the students to the different sections of the NST and its two education pull outs - School Times and Higher Ed. Activities such as role-playing presentations, quizzes and games will not only sharpen their command of English but also prepare them for their Malaysian University English Test (MUET). "This is our fourth NST-NIE workshop conducted this year and we hope it will enable the students to use the newspaper as a learning tool to improve their mastery of English," he said after the handing over of sponsorhips for the NST-NIE workshop at the Johor NST bureau here. He said this was needed as MUET would test Form Six students on their listening, writing, comprehension and speaking skills.
