Third Session

Date: February 18, 2011

Time: 3-5.15pm

Venue: Surau Nur Al-Falah

Aims of this session: Learning a language is fun, especially English when it is a necessity for us to be good in it. Since all students love to listen to music, we incorporate both; the music and language to make it fun. Thus, by learning the language, they could have fun as well. Furthermore, the song is a motivational song that fits their age.
