Special Dedication

Hi there,

This post is especially dedicated to all my beloved and dearly students taking ENNF 103 this semester, near and far, sections 3 & 11, also other students who follow this thread in the ESL blogosphere...

Well, the final exam is around the corner...make sure you do your very best to score. This is your last chance to prove your ability, proficiency and competence. Many of you are so talented and I really hope to see you again in any coming English or Communication courses at the uni.

I have identified some superb writers and speakers. Well, look at your marks, blog comments, and the impromptu speech practices we had throughout the semester. For these people - come on - do something more to further develop your skills and abilities. Join clubs and competitions. Make a difference:)

Lastly, I want to say that I sincerely enjoyed the semester with you. I think you know that I was very busy studying and completing my PhD projects. Nevertheless, I alwiz looked forward to meeting all of you in class. It's always rejuvenating, lively and satisfying. Class was more than merely ENNF 103. It's a meeting of funtastic minds and outstanding personalities - leaders, speakers, debaters, friends, and bloggers...of course:)

Can never forget you, really. Please continue to communicate in this ESL blogosphere and we shall remain connected forever...of course, that's as long as you remember me...he..he..

Latest details from ENNF 103 coordinator:

1. Since the foundation semester is in its last week, kindly inform your students of the ENNF 103 paper which is scheduled next week on Monday 13th Oct. The paper consists of TWO (2) SECTIONS.

SECTION I (25 MARKS) READING COMPREHENSION
SECTION II ( 15 MARKS) SUMMARY

The exam is for TWO (2) hours only.


I know you can all do it very well. Yupp:)

Love, Pn Zue

Besides, we are also going to have computing exam on monday after that exam is english exam...We are worried that our hands will get tired after answering the computing exam questions,thank God that there is no paraphrasing in the exam.hehe... DON"T WORRY, we'll pray hard so that the graph will drop:-)

i dont want to seat any 1119 paper anymore... can i?

huhuhuhu...

reading, speaking, listening and writing.

i`m worse at writing skill. especially on grammar. huhuhu. speaking and listening are not so difficult.

but reading and writing really need more effort.

MADAM ZUE...

can you give us some more inspirations??? err... i mean... HOW DO YOU EXCEL on both area?

huhuhuhu

Dr. Zue said...

hi Zakiah,
Firstly, thanks a zillion, for dropping by at the speakup-avenue.blogspot.com. Welcome to the academic blogging community.

Now, I shall quickly answer your question, in a very practical manner. To excel in reading, we have to be realistic about common and everyday expectations. We are expected to be knowledgeable to create good impression on the learning and K-community. We also need to be able to carry out intellectual discussions as well as answer curious questions and doubts from our children, students, and skeptics...so, what better way to reach for this extensive knowledge other than reading? reading makes us more knowledgeable, intelligent and socially acceptable. So, it's intrinsic and instrumental motivation that should push us to read more. Right...:)

As for writing,it's a productive skill which requires some mastery in three aspects: content, organization and language. Besides, writing needs some knd of 'muse' or inspiration. It also helps if you have some motivation, enthusiasm and will...the best thing about writing is so many others can read your thoughts and practice what you preach..sharing is caring, and i hope you shall continue writing in this blogosphere. Practice makes perfect, which builds on fluency and accuracy. Writing is a very effective means of expressing our thoughts and ideas. Just like what we are engaged in, right now.

best of luck, and lots of luv from me. Zue.
