The English Display Competition has been running in Bentong for the last two years and has been very successful in converting disused spaces into interactive English language learning opportunities.
Throughout the TELL1 and TELL2 programs nineteen schools in the Bentong district have already taken part and produced wonderfully inventive and practical English spaces for pupils to enjoy and benefit from.
This year another nineteen schools are taking on the challenge! The schools taking part in the initiative this year are; SK Sri Layang, SK Pelangai, SK Simpang Pelangai, SK KG Shafie, SK Kamasul, SK Lentang, SK (F) SG Kemahal, SK (F) Chemomoi, SISP, SJK(C) Khai Mun Repas, SJK(C) Khai Mun Chamang, SJK(C) SG Penjuring, SJK(C) SG Dua, SJK(C) Telemong, SJK(C) Manchis, SJK(T) Lurah Bilut, SJK(T) Sri Telemong, SJK(T) Ladang Renjok, SJK(T) Lurah Bilut.
To introduce the participating schools to the initiative Brighton mentors lead a workshop for the English teachers chosen to represent these schools.

The workshop included relevant information and activities as well as opportunities for teachers to brainstorm and consider what could be achieved to benefit their schools and enhance the learning experience of their pupils.
The teachers who attended the workshop were to relay what they had learned and discussed to their colleagues and school communities. The goal being for teachers and pupils to pull together and produce effective, attractive English displays that will enhance teaching and encourage interactive, independent learning.
Schools will have their displays ready by August when a team of judges will be visiting to make an assessment of the displays based on certain requirements.
Although this is a competition the focus is really on the pupils and on improving language learning. As we have seen in previous years well designed and thought out displays make a real difference to the way in which pupils perceive English, displays can bring learning outside of the classroom and make English a subject that can be enjoyed independently and with friends.
