Primary students need opportunities to use English in different situations. English Awareness Day at Saint Monica Jakarta School gives them a chance to practise the language and express their creativity.

Activities include poem recitation, spelling bee, singing, storytelling, Ambassador’s Speech, and presentations. Each gives students a different way to use English through words, stories, songs, or speaking in front of an audience.

Practising English through different activities

Through poem recitation and storytelling, students practise expressing words and ideas clearly. Ambassador’s Speech and presentations give them opportunities to speak in front of an audience. The spelling bee lets them demonstrate their spelling skills, while singing gives them a chance to express themselves through music.

This range of activities allows students to use English in different contexts. They can take part in activities that suit their interests while learning to communicate in different ways.

Learning through projects

Saint Monica uses a project based learning approach. All students take part in the competitions and prepare to do their best as part of their English project assessment.

Midterm assessments at Saint Monica take the form of practical projects. This allows students to apply what they have learned and gain experience through hands on activities. English Awareness Day gives them a setting in which to use their language skills beyond written exercises.

Building confidence and perseverance

Performing or taking part in a competition can feel challenging. Students may need to manage their nerves, practise, and try again after making a mistake. These experiences give them opportunities to develop confidence and perseverance.

The event is also about more than winning or losing. Making an effort, learning from mistakes, and staying humble when they achieve something are all part of the experience.

Sportsmanship and family support

By taking part in activities together, students learn to wait their turn, appreciate their classmates’ performances, and accept the results with good sportsmanship. Support from parents also encourages children to take part and do their best.
