Mid- Year MUET Exam 2010

Good news to all UNITI students. The Mid-Year MUET exam will be offered at our college. So anyone interested can register for it sometime in February. The exam will be conducted in April/May. You can download the registration form from the Majlis Peperiksaan Malaysia website at www.mpm.edu.my. The fee for the exam is RM60. There will not be any special class to prepare you for the exam. I'm afraid you have to study on your own. For internal students, all EAP courses should prepare you for it. Revise your modules. If you have any question you can see me.

Starting this week (until further notice), every Wednesday, UNITI campus should be abuzz with English words as it is ENGLISH DAY! It is a milestone of our beloved college. All the staff (including CEO!) and students must speak in English. I am sure your English lecturers (including me) always stress on the importance of English in this globalised world of ours, and one way to improve the cammand of the language is to USE it. You can never improve if you don't use it. If you haven't started, now is the time. It doesn't matter if you use broken English as you will improve over time. Believe me you will as I have been through this myself.

Never feel shy. Do not care what others say about your English. You should be proud of yourself as at least you are trying compared to your friends who don't even want to try. Give yourself a big pat on your back! So c'mon, let's use English today. I'm sure you don't want to be left behind in acquiring this skill as it is the second most important criteria (after soft skills) most employers are looking for in graduates ( Ramjit Singh Malhi & A. Wahab Bakar 2008).
