GLOBAL CLASSROOM UHF2161 MALAY FOR INTERMEDIATE

Centre for Modern Languages had successfully conducted a Global Classroom (GC) for Malay for Intermediate (UHF2161) course. This GC was held on 7 of June 2021 via an online platform (Google Meet). Participants of this event were among the UMP students who enrolled in Malay for Intermediate course in Semester II, 2021 and a number of international students who voluntarily joined this Global Classroom.

As the instructor of this course, Miss Jamilah Bebe Binti Mohamad, acted as the organizer for the event as well.

The guest lecturer from Universiti Brunei Darussalam, Puan Hajah Zurinah binti Haji Ya'akub had given her lecture on the topic ‘Keluarga Saya’ (My Family). According to one of the participants, Gaya Sandhya Shuja, an international student from India Global Classroom, it was a good exposure for the international students to learn about the Malay Language. Another participant, Aseel Sadeq, an international student from Yemen, believed this kind of exposure to the international students could make them more interested and excited to learn the Malay Language in future.

This shows us that Malay Language is not only applicable and relevant in Malaysia but in other countries as well. It is hoped that this event can be conducted again in future so that we can expose more about Malay Language across borders and cultures.
