1. Problems
When I first entered Year 4 DarusSalams classroom, it was no doubt that the pupils
proficiency level were considered excellent and among the best compared to their friends on
other classes. They could speak and apprehend to my instructions and activities that were
being held. However, it had come across my understandings that the pupils were having
major difficulties in writing and composing sentence structures whenever I asked them to
create simple sentences or composing a short essay. I was tremendously in shocked when I
got to know that the pupils were rarely being introduced to world of essays during their
schooling days. The issue did not only evolve and centralise on the pupils writing skills but
also how did the respective English teacher taught them beforehand. The pupils were poor
in constructing sentences with correct usage of grammatical items as well as punctuations.
Their spellings were heavily influenced by the pronunciation of their native language which
was Bahasa Melayu, which indicated that there was no rampant exposure for spellings and
vocabularies either in the pupils writing skills or any focussed skills during the teaching and
learning session. The results could be seen through the composition of essay that I had
asked the pupils to do entitle My Self. There was a lot of grammar errors and spelling
mistake when I went through their writing to evaluate their proficiency in the English
Language. This truth bittersweet intervention had me came out with a conclusion that the
pupils proficiency levels were still low and did not achieve the requirement of the PBSs
system especially in writing skill.
2. Analysis
Based on this prognosis, the problem could occur for three reasons. The first reason was the
English Department in the school did not go through meticulously on the pupils
performances based on each skill that were taught by the teachers. The second reason was
that some of the teacher that had to teach English Language in this school was not trained in
the English courses. They came from different major courses and had to teach English
Language due to the fact that there was no enough teachers intended for the subject. The
third reason was intertwined with the efforts and motivations from the pupils themselves.
There was no self-motivation to opt their performances in English Language which made it
harder for the pupils to master the language eloquently in a period of time.
