Building fluency and confidence through English Language Camp

Mastery of the English language not only makes it easier for us to connect with the outside world, but it also guarantees smooth dealings involving other countries.

As a university that values ​​close community-based relationships, be it locally or in neighbouring countries, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) took the initiative to conduct the Basic English Language Camp (BELSA) programme.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor of Research and Innovation, Professor Ir. Dr. Rizalafande Che Ismail said, UniMAP, through the Languages ​​and General Studies Department of the Faculty of Business and Communication (FPK), organized BELSA to improve English language skills among school students in the Satun region.

“This programme provides exposure and training to 318 students from 25 religious primary schools in the Satun region about the importance of communicating in English throughout our daily life.

“In addition, it can improve communication skills and language-related knowledge for students and teachers who participate in this programme, as well as showcasing UniMAP in teaching and learning activities (PdP) for overseas students,” he said when officiating on behalf of the Vice Chancellor at the closing ceremony of the BELSA programme at Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Chancellery Auditorium, here, recently.

Earlier, the Manager of Thammasat Wittaya School Satun, Umar Akem said the BELSA programme gave the primary school students of the Satun region the opportunity to learn the basics of English in an exciting environment abroad, namely Malaysia, especially in the university environment at UniMAP.
