Benefit to mankind
The ICE module is a comprehensive guide for tahfiz students in acquiring the
English communicative skills needed. It provides an alternative and practical
method in developing students’ interest towards oral presentation skills. In
addition, it has a huge potential in assisting tahfiz school educators to utilize
the English speaking activities in their classroom. It also helps the students to
comprehend basic concepts of verbal and non-verbal in communication.
Potential
commercialization
The ICE module appears to be like any normal English textbook for students.
Apart from that, the module plays an important role as a teaching and learning
tool especially to help facilitate tahfiz students learning using the target
language. With suitable and appropriate materials such as high definition
visual stimuli and audio recording, the module can be enhanced to suit current
demands for a proficient English speaker.
