English Proficiency Workshop

The English Proficiency Workshop was led by Education
Department of Southern Asia Pacific Division and Myanmar Union Mission in
Yangon Adventist Seminary (YAS) on April 2 to May 9, 2019. Mr. Nitchelson Ray
De Guzman, an English instructor from the Northern Philippine Adventist
College, was invited to train the workshop. There were 140 teachers from the
Myanmar Union mission schools attended the workshop. In the workshop, the
teachers learned English language skills: reading, writing and speaking by
games, lecture, songs, stories, group and individual assignments. The workshop
was conducted for the teachers who are not able to use the English language
with students in the classroom in MYUM schools. The MYUM education department expects
that within 5 years all the students and teachers from Adventist schools in
Myanmar Union mission will be applying properly English language in the
classrooms.  Sayama Nant Than Than Aye
from Ayarwaddy Adventist Seminary said, “I am very happy and improve a lot of
English language skills and have learned how to teach English language in the
classroom by this English Proficiency Workshop”.
