It's Twenty Thirteen

2012

It was a year full of happiness and also tragedy. It is a year in which I love to miss the most. Twenty Twelve, you had been so dear to me. Thanks ;)

2013

I predict that a number of big events will happen this year. With the bless of Allah SWT, this June, I will be known as a B.Ed TESL holder and I am thinking about continuing my study in a field of my interest ASAP. Though it is almost impossible for a B.Ed holder to do M.Sc, I hope that I am strong enough to fight for what I want. However, if I am turned down, life will still go on. At least, I do try.

Also, this may seem inappropriate to be shared but since this is my space and it is a good news, so I just consider it to be appropriate. Well, I have been dating the man of my life for 5 years this year. We keep discussing about us and we are hoping that God will give us way to get engaged by the end of this year. I am praying for it and hope you guys will pray the best for us. Thanks.

Hope this year will be good to me and also to you. May Allah bless you and me.




Life is short. Be responsible for the life that you live.

Parking Lot

Parking Lot has been considered as one of the best practices in the 21st century classrooms besides the famous group seating arrangement. In Malaysian public schools especially in Sekolah Amanah, it is a mandatory  to prepare a space or an area in the class to put up a Parking Lot. Per contra , to date, teachers are having a lack of proper guidance on the use of Parking Lot as a consequence of  the non-existence of a blueprint or a printed guide from any Malaysian education departments on this practice . Worst, the knowledge of Parking Lot is succinctly dismantle to teachers while they are having courses on 21st century classroom or learning, during Professional Learning Communities (PLC) sessions or during department meetings. It is through these short sessions or meet-ups that Malaysian teachers are made aware of the benefits of Parking Lot. Even the practice could benefit both teacher and students, the lack of understanding on the practice  results failure in its execu

Use Malay (L1) instead of English (L2) in English Lessons?

The debate on the use of L1 in L2 lessons has been going on since forever. Different scholars come out with different theories and hypotheses yet no one theory or hypothesis has become the most significant. After all, it all depends on the teaching context. The use of L1 has always been a contentious issue. Teachers have choices whether to: ban L1; minimise L1; or maximise L2. Again, it all depends on the context the teachers are in. It is best to also mention that even so, teachers who resort to the L1, despite their best intentions, often feel guilty for straying from L2 path (Cook, 2001). However now, let's not talk about teacher's use of L1.  Let's look at student's use of L1 in L2 lessons.  Should we ban the use of L1 among students in L2 lessons? If not, why are there a lot of suggestions given to cut or limit the use of L1 in L2 lessons? I remember when I once made it a rule that students should only talk to me

Nadia Anjuman

What should I do with a broken wing Which does not let me fly? I have been silent too long, But I never forget the melody. Since every moment I whisper, The song from my heart. Reminding myself of the day, I will break free of this cage. By from this solitude, And sing with abandon. I am not a weak tree, To be shaken by any wind. I am an Afghan woman, It only makes sense to cry. Nadia Anjuman was a talented Afghani poet who was beaten to death by her husband at the age of 25.  Al-Fatihah.
