Conducting Virtual Language Month Festival “Becoming Literate Generations in the Millennial Era 2020”

October, 19, SMP AABS held the grand opening of Virtual Language Month Festival 2020. The morning kicked off with Zoom meeting where Ustadz Mujiono, who organized the Language Month’s event, welcomed all students and reminded them about the upcoming series of events in Language Month Festival until November, 14. He also introduced guest speaker Bahrul Habiby, a young and successful motivator who would power up their mood.

Kak Habiby began his presentation on the topic “Siap Menjadi Milenial yang Keren & Sukses” by asking for students clapping altogether.

He said that becoming a successful person should take a proper planning and persistent work. Neither Instant nor luck shouldn’t have a place in our belief.

Ustazah Leni, homeroom teacher of 8C, said that the grand opening in Language Month Festival ran well. The students enjoyed joining the agenda and some of them were also enthusiastic to ask for several questions to the guest speaker.

Following the online sharing, students were informed to join the meeting with their own homeroom teachers and were asked to register the multilingualism competitions.
