The PIERS teachers from Negeri Sembilan had a fun weekend getaway in Port Dickson recently. The PD Romp, as it’s fondly called, was organized for about 120 rural primary school teachers by the CfBT PIERS team – Mark, Karen, Fain, Azlina and Prabha. This annual PIERS event featured a mixture of academic and team-building activities, with the purpose of enhancing the teachers’ confidence in speaking English language, learning new skills in language and methodology and increasing motivation. This year’s PD Romp was greatly spiced up by the participation of some very talented trainers – Mike & Cathy, Rob & Kim, Jerry Bishop and Chris Frankland. They led groups of PIERS teachers through specific academic sessions on drama, literacy remediation, language games, jazz chants and loads of other fun stuff! We also had a great show of support from the CfBT KL office: Iki designed and ordered goodies for all the teachers, Everlyn spent her entire weekend helping us out at the Port Dickson Rest House, Andrew Caie sportingly joined us for the Fancy Dress Ball, and Chris Bell led the teachers in the canoeing activity at the Eagle Ranch Resort!
