Language Arts Workshop – Penang

“The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” By Eleanor Roosevelt has always been her favorite quote.

As an educator living in Malaysia and a mother of two grown-up sons (a TESOL/Communication Arts teacher, and a musician), it is Sue Sudarak’s goal to be innovative and active in changing the face of education for the better. She has been providing mentorship for LAW’s students and parents since 2012.

Excelling in many educational initiatives has enhanced her ability to create a lifelong learning culture and to improve student learning, especially in the areas of English Literacy and Communication Arts subjects. Her adaptable parenting/leadership styles, communication skills, and overall creativity have successfully transformed many passive learners into confident self-directed individuals and effective communicators.

She is an advocate for The Whole Child Approach and Integrated Arts in education. She practices positive Parent-Child-Teacher relationship throughout her teaching career in Malaysia. As a visionary leader at LAW, it is her highest priority to inspire holistic/multifaceted education, particularly in the areas of English Literacy, Social-Emotional Learning Skills (SELS), and Media Literacy.

Every day, she learns new knowledge from everyone around her. She works hard at her job while creating a conducive learning environment for her community. Besides designing Communication Arts Program (CAP) curriculum, gardening and creating educational YouTube videos are her favorite pastime activities that keep her energized!

She has been living abroad since she was 17 years old, so learning English has naturally become her primary language, her passion, her career, and her life! To her, ‘quality education’ starts from HOME and effective education happens when we constantly practice positive Parent-Child-Teacher relationship.

The multicultural learning environment and the volatile education system in Malaysia constantly inspire her to innovate future-focused CAP curriculum for those who love learning. To date, establishing Language Arts Workshop (LAW), her brainchild initiative, the Language Arts Festival (LAF), and LAW & CAP company are her proudest achievements and joy. She believes she has successfully created multifaceted learning approaches and a transformative process for everyone at LAW.
