BREAK-OUT ENGLISH TRAINING

Chemsain HRD Sdn Bhd had successfully organised a Break-Out English training for the second time on the 4th and 5th September 2015 for our Kuching Clerical staff consisting of clerks, office administrators and admin assistants. This 2-day training was held at Telang Usan Hotel, Kuching. Overall, we had received positive feedbacks from our staff and importantly they enjoyed the session and simultaneously improving their English skills for future application in their workplace.

Our certified English trainer, Ms. Fiona De Rozario was invited to conduct this 2-day course. The main topic discussed in this training was presentation skills, proficiency of English in meeting, self-confidence in workplace and interaction during meeting. Some of the activities that were conducted involved playing cards and phrase ball that was able to attract our participants to be more proactive and participative in the class. Miss Fiona encouraged them to constantly speak English during the class and coffee breaks with each other. She even showed some videos as example after she finished discussing every topics.

It was good for them to recap and understand the course better. She also emphasized that we shouldn’t be ashamed of our Malaysian English (MEnglish) accent and encouraged us to use simple English that we are comfortable with as long it is comprehensible. Moreover, our participants were given a task to come out with a “pair presentation” about organizing party or any events. Proper guidelines for doing a presentation were given as their reference.

Below are some of the feedbacks from the participants on the feedback forms:
