A birthday gift
Guess what I got for my birthday this year.
A pair of geese from my eldest daughter. Thank you dear.
Professor Theo van Leeuwen – The Master of Social Semiotics and Multimodalilty
I felt so delighted when one of my PhD students shared this video with me. Professor Theo van Leeuwen was my supervisor when I did my PhD at Cardiff University, UK. My research was on the Generic Structure of Cooperate Websites. The focus was on the multimodal design of multinational company websites. And I am currently supervising PhD studies on applying Systemic Functional Linguistics and Multimodality to various social contexts, for example, education, media, tourism, advertisements and you name it.
Fighting the COVID 19
Memandangkan kita masih belum menang, jangan lupa elak 3S dan amalkan 3W. Apa itu 3S dan 3W?
COVID 19 clusters
Wow!!! workplace cluster is the highest. Hmmmm, it seems Work from Home is the best solution.
Paparich vs Papakedana – Effects of COVID 19
This is very intriguing when people comparing paparich to papakedana (in Malay it means very poor).
Paparich otw tutup semua outlet dengan menanggung hutang 37 juta ringgi akibat COVID 19.
Manage ur financial wisely guys.
Sedangkan paparich boleh tersungkur inikan kita papakedana
It states that paparich is closing all its outlets throughout Malaysia. Even papaRICH can be affected by the COVID 19 with debt of RM37M, what’s more with us, who are papakedana (very poor people). Rich is the opposite of papakedana.

CEFR vs Other English Tests
Binge Reading
Feeling good and happy today. I have managed to read my students’ work. It was a laborious and time consuming task, but, at the same time very satisfying. I feel good since I could carry out my duty to my students. I pray that all students under my supervision will successfully graduate and get their PhD or MPhil.
Literature in Education
It is interesting, the blend between old and new teaching methods. Nevertheless, Malaysian education has embedded literature in the English language syllabus. Literature is a subject on its own. I don’t know much about literature and not very clear how literature can help students learn language since literature is not my area.
Thank you so much to all LA staff members, who have joint the session.
