Last Sunday, I was preparing my Lesson Plan and I have decided to teach a song titled “Padi”. So, as usual every Monday morning we had assembly. When pupils sang “Negaraku”, I tried to listen very carefully how they pronounce negara. As they had this typical Iban slang; instead of ne-ga-ra-ku, they pronounce it neng-ga-ra-ku.
Then when sang School’s Song. Aha…. They repeated the same mistake.
So this week my main target to correct their pronunciation. Start with my weak pupils 4B. I wrote down the lyric and waited for 40 minutes for them to copy this 16 lines. Then I only have 20 minutes to sing the song correctly with the proper pronunciation. I warned them to read and pronounce carefully/ correctly. Even after I warned them, they till repeat the same mistake. Even worse! Every time they sang line 8, I can’t understand any words out of their mouth. So I can’t catch what word they use to replace the original word. then line 12.
Slowly pronounce it for them some able to correct their mistakes.
Will report again what will happen to my other classes.
