WHAT IS SEED PROGRAMME?

SEED Programme is a reading programme in the aim at exposing students to new
vocabularies and useful phrases of English. The target vocabularies and phrases are
provided with Malay translation, which will guide the students through their reading. The
reading materials are sourced from newspaper articles, namely; The Star and The New
Straits Times which are regarded as authentic material. The use of authentic materials in
the classroom will benefit the students as the exposure to the real langauge in the real
context is being implemented. Other aspects which prove positive when using authentic
materials are, they are highly motivating, giving a sense of achievement when understood
and encourage further reading to the learners. Furthermore, the language used is versatile
and updated which will further ease the teaching and learning process. In the same vein,
learners will encounter the real world language and how it is being utilized as opposed to
the artificial language used in the text book. It is hoped that the SEED programme will
grow the students from a small, innocent seed to a proficient learner of English language.
Therefore, teachers play a pivotal role in preparing and make aware of the necessary
skills on how to used language in the real world context.
