Eight educators received the Inspiring Teacher of English Award 2023 on Oct 5. They are : Ms Jan Lim Hui Mei, Ms Heng Siok Tian, Ms Leena Priya Segaran, Ms Yvonne Koh Feng Ying, Mr James Koh Sze Ming, Ms Crescendra Tan Xiu Mei, Mr Shawn Lim You Hao, and Ms Phay Ee Lyn.

Ms Koh, 38, said that this method makes learning more enjoyable for her students and helps them to remember and better apply what they have learnt. Another award recipient encourages his students to use artificial intelligence in their learning, while a third welcomes students to express themselves using song lyrics, music and memes.

She said: “Words can be trained to communicate shades of meaning. Words can evoke and convey emotions, like how they can be whipped to spin feelings. As we teach our students to communicate confidently and persuasively, we must also help them to wield the power of words responsibly, especially on the Internet.”

He said: “In this way, they are not only honing their critical eye, but also understanding that artificial intelligence has its limitations.”
