Writing this reflection is a very emotional matter for me. Weeks of writing long blog posts have finally come to an end. At this, a mix of elation and sense of loss fills me. Maybe I will continue in my personal blog to post about random topics.
Throughout these weeks of blogging, an example of a topic that piqued my interest would be:
The first week's topic, the debate on Mother Tongue scores, was an extremely nice representation of policies in many organizations and in the society. Usually proposals of policies will be debated, whether in the parliament or in corporate meetings. In this case, a public outrage was triggered, spreading to various platforms of discussion.
Some of the arguments were very intriguing. Some said that reducing Mother Tongue (MT) weightage was an 'easy way out' of the issue of students choosing English over MT. Others felt that the proposed move was justified by the amount of workload students have to bear.
The topic gave me a chance to think of one of Singapore's iconic policies: bilingualism.
Blogging in business English was new for me. Although action verbs may have been wrongly used and passive voice was used at times, hopefully you readers have enjoyed my blog posts.
That's all folks!
