The Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching Research Group (ALLT) conducted a workshop for a delegation from Universiti Islam Selangor (UIS) at Dewan Bankuet, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Kuala Lumpur on 21 June 2023 with the purpose to introduce UIS English lecturers to the concept of CEFR-aligned English courses.

Take action, an inch of movement will bring you closer to your goals than a mile of intention.

After having attended an enlightening talk by Prof Dr Vijay Mallan on how to give positive feedback to students under supervision, I implemented the knowledge in a simple coffee talk session. Student attendance and participation was impressive. Students commented that more sessions like this should be conducted virtually as it is easy and convenient. They felt more motivated to complete their thesis.

My UHLB3212 Section 91 students had given their best cooperation and I believe it was because they did not feel stressed out by the assessments. In fact, they enjoyed the process of making the video resume. I relied on their power of visualization as I guided them step by step. Beginning with outlining, students could arrange neatly on paper what they wanted to highlight in the video and what they should say that would attract the employer to hire them. I shared a lot of positive videos that I found on the popular social media and shared with the students via Padlet. That way they could see the end product that I hope they could produce.

The Queen’s Xmas speeches make an interesting linguistic study.
