SD Al Siddiq International resumed its Native Speaker program on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, marking a joyful first day back after the Eid holidays. This activity is a regular monthly program aimed at improving students’ English skills through direct interaction with a native speaker. On this occasion, the program was attended by all students from Grade 1 to Grade 6. From the very beginning, the atmosphere was filled with enthusiasm and excitement. The students were delighted to have the opportunity to learn directly from a native speaker, allowing them to practice their speaking, listening, and comprehension skills with greater confidence. The session featured Mr. Christof Mustapha Abaji from Canada. This was not his first visit, but rather his third time at SD Al Siddiq International. His repeated visits created a more familiar and comfortable learning environment, as some students had already met him during previous sessions. Throughout the activity, Mr. Christof Mustapha Abaji delivered the material in an interactive and engaging manner. Students were encouraged to communicate directly, participate in educational games, and engage in simple question-and-answer sessions in English. This approach made students more active and helped them overcome their hesitation in speaking English. The Native Speaker program ran smoothly without any significant obstacles. Each class participated in an orderly and attentive manner. Accompanying teachers also played an active role in guiding the students to ensure the activity was carried out effectively. Through this program, it is hoped that the English proficiency of SD Al Siddiq International students will continue to improve, particularly in terms of speaking confidence and practical language understanding. In addition, this activity provides a unique and enjoyable learning experience for the students. With the success of this session, it is expected that the Native Speaker program will continue to be held consistently every month and bring even greater benefits to all students.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd.

After enjoying their time off with their families, the students returned to school with cheerful faces and renewed enthusiasm to begin their learning activities. From early morning, the school atmosphere felt lively and warm. Students greeted one another, shook hands, and shared stories about their experiences during the Eid holidays. Many of them talked about spending time with family, travelling to their hometowns, and the excitement of celebrating Eid.

In addition to receiving the reports, parents were also given the opportunity to have brief discussions with teachers regarding students’ development, both academically and in terms of behaviour during the learning process. The atmosphere of the event was warm and collegial, particularly following the Eid al-Fitr celebrations, which further strengthened the bonds between the school and parents.
