speaking skills - discussion

As mentioned in our previous class, I decided to go on with speaking skills first before listening followed by writing skills as I know you guys don't really like writing, am I right?

ok, since you all are on your mid semester break, most probably doing nothing at home, I suggest you guys do some research regarding these following topics, as we are going to conduct a class discussion based on these topics:

TEACHING MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE IN ENGLISH: BETTER IN MALAY OR ENGLISH?

THE RISING NUMBER OF CRIMES IN MALAYSIA: WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?

HAVING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN OUR DAILY LIVES: WILL IT HELP OR DESTROY US?

LEVEL OF ENGLISH AMONG STUDENTS FROM RURAL AREAS: HOW CAN THEY IMPROVE?

EMPLOYING FOREIGNERS AS WORKERS: DOES IT BRING MORE ADVANTAGES OR DISADVANTAGES?

UNEMPLOYMENT IN MALAYSIA: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GRADUATES WHO ARE STILL UNEMPLOYED?

PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES VS PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES: WHICH ONE IS BETTER?WHY?

SOCIAL PROBLEMS AMONG YOUTH IN MALAYSIA: HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?

READING HABITS AMONG MALAYSIAN: DO WE READ ENOUGH?

DISCIPLINARY CASES AMONG PRIMARY/SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS: WHAT ARE THE REASONS? WHY THE NUMBER OF CASES IS INCREASING?

RECYCLING: WHY IS IT NOT PRACTISED WIDELY IN MALAYSIA?

happy searching!

oh before I forgot..Ramadhan al-mubarak and happy fasting! see you after the holidays!

If you have the time, do visit this hilarious website : engrishfunny.com. This site is filled with pictures of signage, notes, advertisements products and others, all filled with grammatical/language errors that sometimes make no sense, but definitely good for a laugh!

Here are my current favourite pictures :

Mind your Language

Some of you have been asking me about this series, mostly asking whether or not they can borrow my DVD...the answer is I'm afraid : NO. And the reason being is that it took forever for me to find the DVDs..however, you can view them in youtube, but with no subtitles (but I don't think that will be much of a problem)

If you are too lazy to do even that, here are the vids :

1st class..

hello class!

welcome to my blog, specially created for my English students taking UWB10101 (English for Academic Purposes) in UTHM. Having problems accessing the e-learning system in UTHM, I decided that this is the next best thing in order in terms of method in providing you with any new information/homework/assignments etc.

As I mentioned in the class, please participate in this blog by leaving comments, ideas or suggestions..if you're the kind who r too shy to ask questions in class..this is the place.

It's better if you become one of the followers of this blog since this will be one of the medium that I will use other than the module.

hope to hear from u guys soon!

Ms. Hani
