When I assigned to teach form 6 student MUET subject, I was feeling a little bit apprehensive.\u00a0 I never took MUET before.\u00a0 The only similar kind of examination that I had taken is IELTS before I went to further my PhD at UK.\u00a0 It is the requirement for admission to any of UK university.\u00a0 So, with RM600+\/-, I took IELTS once.\u00a0 Alhamdulillah I got Band 7, so I could apply to any UK university that require at least Band 6.5 or 7 as application requirement.\u00a0 Well, those were the days.\u00a0 Things are different now for the better.\u00a0 MUET is required as admission requirement as well as graduation requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, when I sent Amira and Shakir to SMKUT to take their MUET speaking test, they told me that they were partnered with a lady from UKM.\u00a0 She failed her MUET and thus, she needed to retake MUET again as graduation requirement.\u00a0 Amira and Shakir asked me if is it required to get Band 4 to graduate in Malaysian universities.\u00a0 \u00a0I told them that as far as I know, only the top five universities i.e. old or research universities make such requirement.\u00a0 For other universities like USIM, it depends on your majoring.\u00a0 If you major in Islamic Revealed Knowledge programme like Qur’an and Sunnah, it is required for you to get Band 4 to graduate.\u00a0 This is what I know based on my conversation with USIM graduates who work as teaching in the school where I did my Latihan Ikhtisas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But now, they<\/a> i.e. Ministry of Education want to make it as requirement for non-option teachers who are teaching English to take MUET too.\u00a0 Of course, this move would create an uproar<\/a> among teachers in Malaysia.\u00a0 \u00a0But, being as an outsider but somehow links to education system, I would like to see positive change in this move.\u00a0 \u00a0Would they become better teachers to teach CEFR<\/a> curriculum if they take MUET?\u00a0 What would happen to those teachers<\/a> who are not excelled in their MUET?\u00a0 \u00a0That’s what I want to know in the future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
