Having difficulty describing what you think or feel about something? Try using a metaphor. For example, you can use ice-kacang to describe something that is colourful, cheerful and sweet or grapes to describe an experience that is sour (challenging) yet sweet (nice) at the same time. EIR students are taught how to use metaphors since the first lesson in which they had to describe their strengths using metaphors. Its interesting to hear students’ description of themselves using creative metaphors. EIR students also had to use a metaphor to describe their learning journey and reflect on the most important lesson they had learnt throughout the journey. Reading students thoughtful reflections using metaphors has always been a delightful treat for the EIR tutor at the end of each run of EIR as he/she savour the students’ wonderfully crafted explanation of their amazing EIR journeys.
