A Warm Welcome to Language Academy.

Language Academy (LA) was established in 2010 and it is part of Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (FSSH). At LA, we offer various language proficiency courses to undergraduate students, for example, English, Malay, Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic, French and Korean.

If you are interested to pursue your postgraduate studies with us, we offer three programmes which are Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), and Master of Language in Communication and Digital Culture (MLCDC). Ph.D and MPhil are full research programmes, whilst MLCDC is a Master taught course.

Our staff are actively involved in various language research areas and publications. We have three research strands which are Applied Linguistics and Language Teaching (ALLT), Language and Communication in Society (LCS), and Technology and Language Education (TLE).  Our areas of specialisation include CALL, Linguistics, LSP, Health Communication, Teacher Training, TESL and Visual Communication.

Besides academic programmes, we also offer a variety of language classes and services.  Our popular language camps are Summer School (Oral Communication for Future Professionals), Summer School (TESL), and Language and Cultural Camp (KEBAYA).   MyLinE is an online self-access English language learning platform specially designed to assist students to develop their English language communication skills.  Those intend to sit for IELTS or CEFR examination can enroll in the Intensive English Programme (IEP), which is a preparatory course for IELTS or CEFR.  Besides English language, we also offer foreign language classes for UTM staff and the public.

Master of Language in Communication and Digital Culture has gone through the internal audit on 4 April 2023.  Alhamdulillah, we got positive feedback from the auditors.  It is such  pleasant feeling to know that students, alumni, academic and non-academic staff are all happy with Language Academy.  The most important is the current students and alumni are satisfied with the program.  

Thank you to the auditors (Dr Shah Rollah & Dr Akmaliza), Deputy Dean (Prof Dr Siti Aisyah), Secretariat (PM Dr Hasnah & PM Dr Sarimah), Associate Chair of Language Academy (Dr Nur’Ain Balqis) and coordinators (Dr Aida & Dr Ungku).

I have not updated the website for quite sometime.  Hmmm busy with admin work, proposal defence, viva and many more.  We are already in the month of Ramadhan.  I would like to wish everyone

Ramadhan Kareem 

One of the activities carried out at Language Academy in this Ramadhan is Tadarus. Tadarus is the act of reciting the Quran together, usually in a mosque during Ramadan.  But, we don’t have it in a mosque, instead we have our Tadarus online.  

Thank you to Sis Nor Aqilah Abdullah for coordinating the Tadarus session.

Today is the last day of class…. yeay could not wait for RAYA (Eid), after 2 years we were in the RAYA MCO mode.

Alhamdullilah majlis berjalan lancar, semoga mendapat keberkatan dari Illahi. Selamat menjalani ibadah Ramadhan yang hampir ke penghujung.

What do you want in your life? Sometimes human actions can be very deceiving. There are generally two types of people,

1. act nice but yet stab on your back
2. harsh but yet truthful.

Which one is better, lions or monkeys?

Watch this clip and it is really a relief.

It is better to get rid of the negative elements and stay positive. It makes your life happier than ever.
