ORGANISING GENIUS - WORKFORCE LITERACY LEARNERS AS COACHES FOR SCHOOL LITERACY ENHANCEMENT ADVANCEMENT PROGRESS TEST CALLED Linus Coach-a-coach Express Games
The road to reading fluency and correct grammar could only be paved using correct linguistic rules and practice and the constant brush with the four pillars necessary to language mastery- listening, reading, writing and speech. If school-leavers who choose to either further their studies or enter the job market are to be given a second chance to acquiring language mastery, it is most effective through a 2 component WORKFORCE Refresher English programme.

The first component is Remedial and requires the screening for fluency and correct grammar, and grading or fact-finding of actual student competency level. It is language skills acquisition stage requiring a screening of the four skills. Its test is reading fluency and understanding. The practice is structured along remedial-enforcement-enrichment linguistic sequence, as a Refresher course prerequisite to the Workforce Literacy modules.

Post-SPM learners having 'repaired and corrected ' these basic skills will have no difficulty in running the School literacy enhancement modules, with the added impetus from income earned as literacy coaches.

These literacy coaches while assisting in the school literacy enhancement drive proceed to completing the second component in the WORKFORCE literacy, on usage and practice. Or learning English for a purpose modules where the practice target is writing and speech, and is aimed at the minimum, Intermediate Mastery.

These literacy coaches while assisting in the school literacy enhancement drive would have attained enough language mastery, be employable and equipped with language learning habits formed from frequent practice.

REGRADING THE GRADING SYSTEM

The outcome EFFORT is gauged on the hours allotted by schools to the LATIHAN KELAB sessions against the minimum 3000 minutes. So schools set a guarantee the Literacy Enhancement Drive (Skim Pembacaan Inisiatif Kelab SPiK) shall be not less than 3000 practice minutes.
