Mr. Nitchelson Ray De Guzman, an English instructor from the Northern Philippine Adventist College, was invited to train the workshop. There were 140 teachers from the Myanmar Union mission schools attended the workshop. In the workshop, the teachers learned English language skills: reading, writing and speaking by games, lecture, songs, stories, group and individual assignments. The workshop was conducted for the teachers who are not able to use the English language with students in the classroom in MYUM schools.
