Sinopsis

This presentation explores how Malay-language heritage stories can foster identity, curiosity, and early literacy, while introducing young learners to Singapore’s multicultural history and shared heritage.

Drawing from the PCFSP Heritage Series, inspired by different parts of old Singapore and its diverse communities, it will demonstrate how educators and parents can use rich, local narratives to strengthen language skills, encourage reading, and support meaning-making in multilingual settings. The presentation also highlights how Malay-language storytelling can help children explore not only Malay heritage but Singapore’s wider multicultural landscape, promoting intercultural respect, empathy, and a sense of belonging.

This programme will be conducted in both Malay and English.

Pembentangan ini meneroka bagaimana cerita warisan dalam Bahasa Melayu dapat memupuk jati diri, rasa ingin tahu, dan literasi awal kanak-kanak, sambil memperkenalkan mereka kepada sejarah berbilang budaya dan warisan bersama di Singapura.

Berasaskan Siri Warisan PCFSP yang diilhamkan oleh pelbagai sudut Singapura lama dan komuniti yang berbeza, sesi ini menunjukkan bagaimana pendidik dan ibu bapa boleh menggunakan naratif tempatan untuk mengukuhkan kemahiran bahasa, menggalakkan minat membaca, dan menyokong pembinaan makna dalam persekitaran berbilang bahasa. Penceritaan dalam Bahasa Melayu juga membantu kanak-kanak meneroka bukan sahaja warisan Melayu, tetapi juga landskap berbilang budaya Singapura, sekali gus memupuk saling hormat, empati, dan rasa kebersamaan.

Sesi ini akan dijalankan dalam Bahasa Melayu dan Inggeris.

Reminder: To book a workshop, you will need to purchase a Festival Pass here.
