About Star-NiE

The Star's Newspaper-in-Education (NiE) programme

• Brings current affairs into the classroom.
• Is a learning tool that makes the learning of English more fun and memorable!
• Is a programme that provides opportunities for schools, businesses and Malaysia's leading English daily to band together to propel our children's English language literacy to greater heights.

Learning English will never be the same again!

Regardless of levels, students will have more fun learning English through the English and Literature segments.

From elementary to intermediate and advanced levels, everyone will enjoy the wide selection of activities and language exercises available in our 16-page NiE pullouts.

Tackle real life issues and encourage self-reflection with our monthly thematic segment, NiE Life. Equip your students with the right attitude, knowledge and skills to survive in today's increasingly challenging society!

How NiE works in a classroom

• It offers activities that develop research skills – students use elements such as pictures, articles and advertisements in The Star to learn the language in an authentic setting.
• It encourages students to be creative and analytical.
• It allows students to widen their grammar and vocabulary usage.
• It develops students' general knowledge through current issues
• It provides a platform for group work and peer learning while training students to become effective team players.

Sampler NiE workshops for teachers and students*

The Star-NiE team organises hands-on training at NiE workshops conducted throughout the country. Colleagues in the English department and teacher trainees are welcome to participate. Learn from the lively exchanges as our NiE experts introduce you to an alternative methodology of teaching English. You'll leave our workshop fully equipped with ideas to make lessons more engaging.

*Complimentary two-hour workshops are offered to students and teachers of schools. Every workshop is a hands-on session. While students have fun with creative and cooperative learning, teachers can pick up invaluable tips to use in their classes.
