NETFLIX & CHILL WITH MR. SOUL

25 February 2022 – A total of 22 students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Indera Shahbandar (SMKIS) under Program Akademi Menara Gading Universiti Malaysia Pahang Yayasan Al-Sultan Abdullah 2021 (AMG UMP YASA) had a movie viewing reward to wrap up the 2021 school year. Hosted by Mr. Shamsul Harbi, they gathered at the Executive Lounge, UMP Pekan Library for a session of ‘Netflix & Chill with Mr. Soul’.

As part of the weekly meeting of the programme, ‘Netflix & Chill with Mr. Soul’ was conducted to bring a different kind of experience to the students in learning English language. Most importantly, to expose the students to various ways of learning English language.
The objectives of the Netflix session were to enable students to describe characters and to express their opinions based on the events from the movie. For the session, a comedy-classic summer flick movie, Dennis the Menace, was chosen. The movie was about a kid named Dennis who caused many problems especially to his neighbor, Mr. Wilson. Interactions or more precisely ‘incidents’ between the two main characters, Dennis and Mr. Wilson, created a lot of funny scenes throughout the movie.

After the movie ended, a slot for lucky draw was arranged for the participants. Ten prizes were prepared for ten lucky attendees of the session. ‘Netflix & Chill with Mr. Soul’ was over in few minutes passed five. Though rain was pouring that afternoon, yet the participants were really giving their full co-operation and very attentive for the success of the event. It is hoped that the students could be motivated to learn English language through the use of various media available to them other than only through the formal learning setup within the square of the classroom.
