PWP: Professional Writing Programme 2024
The Centre for Languages and Cultural Diplomacy (CLCD) recently completed an English Course entitled PWP: Professional Writing Programme 2024. With the consciousness of the English language constantly evolving in nature and the various written platforms we engage in daily life, especially at work, the ELT Trainers at IDFR have developed a module to capture this condition.
PWP offers exposure to written components comprising e-mail communications, report writing, instant messaging and social media writing. Besides that, the commonalities in writing cannot be neglected either in the aim of producing an effective piece of writing, thus tones in writing, structuring as well as punctuating correctly were also highlights of the module brought forward to the participants of PWP.
As the programme aims to create an engaging learning environment for the participants, practical sessions on e-mail, social media and report writing were infused during the class sessions. This was seen as beneficial for the participants when they showed massive interest and engagement in these practical sessions.
Overall, government officers from Wisma Putra as well as various ministries such as the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation, Ministry of Education, Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission and District Health Office among others, were awarded with a Certificate of Attendance. The programme was successfully conducted by the trusted team of ELT Trainers as positive energy and constant smirks were seen in the participants’ facial expressions prior to leaving the institute on their last day of the programme.
