Sabah Folklore in Print

Folktales often shared orally get into print when the British Council, English Language Teacher Development Programme collaborates with Sekolah Kebangsaan Tiga Papan in Kudat.

This is an on-going initiative not only to improve the English of the local schools involved but also to preserve local stories of the indigenous peoples in the country.

We find out more from Tricia Thorlby, the Director of the English Language Teacher Development Programme at the British Council.
