And all the participants of the Action Research Seminar 2016.

First of all, I am very grateful that we can meet in a very good and beneficial programme. I would like to express my
gratitude to the committe members of this action research seminar who have gone through a lot in order to make sure this
seminar run smoothly.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I believe that our instititution is located in the education area where schools are everywhere and thus we should
take this chance to participate actively to improve the profesionalisme excellency among the educators. Therefore, this
seminar is in line with the wish of our Ministry of Education where it wishes that the research culture to be a culture that is
always being practiced for improving the quality of teaching and learning in schools . By making research culture as a part
of the daily routine, it can help the schools in rural areas to be in par with the schools in the big cities that are excellent in
the mastery of academic knowledge, competent and thus to be able to be an excellent educator.
 As far as I know, the theme of this seminar is PIONEERING INNOVATION TO EMPOWER TEACHING
PRACTICES and is a continuation from the action research course conducted by the Language Department of Teacher
Training Institute Kota Bharu Campus. I would like to extend my congratulations to all of the participants of PISMP TESL
JANUARY 2013 INTAKE for successfully completed their action research presentations successfully.Hopefully with the
input given during the presentations and the experience you have gone through when doing the research will be able to
raise the level of professionalism of the teachers themselves and at the same time will be able to raise the level of
achievement of students using a variety of the best approaches and strategies based on the result of the findings of the
research that has been made .

Continuous research will allow the educators to systematically study the suitability and effectiveness of teaching
and learning efforts to improve its quality. The results of the research should be disseminated in order to boost the
development and advancement of education , especially in the aspect of teaching and learning in the classroom. The
researchers should also be encouraged and supported so that the culture of research becomes a suitable way to achieve
what we are desiring for. This seminar will provide an opportunity for the researchers to disseminate and discuss the
results of their investigations professionally .

Ladies and gentlemen,

Before I end my speech, I called upon the participants of the seminar , so that English language skills be
incorporated either directly or indirectly into the methods of teaching and learning in school or during any co-Curricular
activity. Many teachers nowadays have the qualifications in this field and know how to teach students to excel in the
english subject. Teach them English properly and effectively. Hopefully the new approaches will bring benefits in English
field. Ask the experts that were invited to share their knowledge, experience and skills with you . Hopefully you managed
to bring a paradigm shift in our countrys English.

Finally, I would like to express my thanks to all those involved in the success of this Action Research
Seminar . Make a research culture as a practice.

Thats all, thank you.
