&#39;Local varsities can opt to set own <b>MUET</b> target band scores&#39; ? DPM <b>...</b>

Posted: 27 Oct 2014 12:42 PM PDT

KOTA SAMARAHAN: Local universities will be entrusted to set their own target band scores for the Malaysian University English Test (MUET), beginning next year.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said this would be the flexibility offered to these institutions under the transition period for them to accommodate the new required minimum English language criteria set for intakes of students.

Adding on, he said the new qualifications were determined following discussions among relevant stakeholders who called for better English proficiency among graduates.

"We need to ensure that our graduates are proficient in the English language. In Cyberjaya, 300 students of local IPTA (public institutions of higher learning) had been called for interviews by multi-national institutions – only seven passed as the rest could not converse well in English.

"This is one of the reasons why we need to raise the band scores. The Employers Association of Malaysia also said something must be done so that graduates of local universities could have a better command of English – not just being able to write, but also able to speak it fluently," he said in response to a question posed during a dialogue at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas)'s Dewan Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra here yesterday.

Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, stressed that multi-national corporations needed graduates who were proficient in English and as such, the minimum qualification set was not 'just an issue' among local universities.

"It is an issue to the whole country, not just at university level. Therefore, we decided to raise the qualification. If you enter the university with Band 2, after a couple of years, we expect you to go up to Band 3."

He said it would not be sensible for a student to maintain at Band 2 upon graduation.

When tabling Budget 2015 earlier this month, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that starting next year, the general condition for student intake to higher learning institutions of at least Band 1 in MUET would be raised so as to increase their self-confidence and skills to communicate in English.

The new minimum qualification for Arts and Social Science studies has been upped to Band 2 (and
Band 3 to graduate) while for studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, it is elevated to Band 3 (Band 4 to graduate) and Band 4 for Law and Medicine (Band 5 to graduate).

New conditions for <b>MUET</b>: <b>Universities</b>&#39; senate given flexibility of <b>...</b>

Posted: 26 Oct 2014 03:59 PM PDT

SINTOK: Higher learning institutions (IPTA) in the country will be given flexibility in implementing the new qualifying conditions for the Malaysian University English Test (MUET) which will start next year.

Second Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh said the intake of students to these institutions was subject to approval by the senate of the respective universities, therefore, implementing the new conditions could be to the discretion of the senate.

"Actually, the statement made by the prime minister when tabling Budget 2015 (on the new qualifying conditions for MUET) recently, was well received by all the universities.

"However, allowance can be given to their senate because based on the Universities and University Colleges Act, the university senate has the power to determine the entry of students into the university," he said after a working visit to Universiti Utara Malaysia, here, yesterday.

Idris said the implementation would go on, but flexibility given now considering the current situation (short period for implementation).

When tabling Budget 2015, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced that beginning next year, the general condition for student intake to the IPTA of at least Band 1 in MUET would be raised so as to increase their self-confidence and skills to communicate in the English language.

The new minimum qualification for Arts and Social Science studies is raised to Band 2 (and Band 3 to graduate) while for studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), it is raised to Band 3 (Band 4 to graduate) and Band 4 for Law and Medicine (Band 5 to graduate).

On another development, Idris said the ministry would meet with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's Institute of Malay World and Civilisation lecturer, Prof Dr Teo Kok Seong who disclosed that 604 Chinese and Indian participants of the National Service (NS) Training Programme could not speak Malay.

Idris said the ministry would thoroughly investigate why this situation happened and would take action to overcome the problem.

According to Teo, the study was made on 14,000 trainees at 79 NS training camps in 2010.

He said the inability of some trainees to communicate in nor understand Bahasa Melayu, resulted in the NS trainers being unable to deliver to them the module on nationhood and citizenship. — Bernama

My <b>MUET</b> Experience: Speaking (July 2013) | Intrinsic Musings

Posted: 02 Jul 2013 05:21 AM PDT

As a form 6 student, I am not exempted from taking the MUET exams. I know a lot of people dread it, but I'm just glad to have English classes in between my other boring subjects. So today, I had my Speaking Test and I was in the last group of the morning batch. That, is a relief 'cause my group mates and I had the time to practice, while waiting for our turn.

I was really surprised–in a good way–how my group mates were so diligent in practicing topic after topic and even though we couldn't know for sure whether our points were spot on, the main thing we wanted to achieve was to actually create a discussion in our Task B, rather than an individual performance of our own opinions, and I think we did that. I know for most people they have the problem of not being able to fully use up the 10 minutes in the discussion rounds, but oddly for us, we had the problem of not being able to fully express ourselves within the time given. But with practice, we gradually got better and I'm really thankful for having such hardworking friends who didn't mind nonstop practicing for 2 hours. Really, they're the best group mates I could ever ask for :)

1328664869_311282281_1-ielts-tuition-muet-tuition-spm-english-tuition-igcse-o-level-english-tuition-Ampang

I guess to whoever reading this and if you're taking MUET as well, I suggest for the Speaking part of it, you really have to cooperate with your group mates because Task B is where marks get deducted. My MUET teacher showed us a video of a group of actors doing their Speaking Test and we could see how the examiners placed their scores on the candidates. At Task A, they usually get high marks, one guy even had a high Band 5, but his marks were decreased in the group rounds, to a low Band 5, so were the other candidates. I know perhaps private candidates don't know who they are up against, but if you're like me, you know who your group mates are, I suggest you get as much practice with them as possible. It really helps.

When I got into the exam hall (or room) I asked one of the examiners whether she could inform me if there were only 10 seconds left in my Task A, so you know, I could be more prepared. But she said I should just talk and not worry about the time 'cause she would inform me when the time was up. Of course she would. That's what she was supposed to do. But I wanted to have a clear sense of time so that I could talk accordingly, and make a solid conclusion when it was close to the 2-minute mark. Then I remembered my teacher saying how some examiners would direct their stopwatches to the candidates so we could see the time. And so, I asked if she could do the same thing. She seemed a little surprised by my request, and also a little hesitant, saying how she needed to look at the time as well, but she didn't reject it. Since there were 2 examiners with us, she suggested both of them to place their stopwatches facing forward so each of them could look across, at the other person's stopwatch, instead of their own. And so, it was settled. We got to see the time while speaking. That was really a huge plus for us.

The question that we got–while I don't remember specifically–went something like this:

A good education can make an impact on students. Which of these makes the most impact on students?

(i)   Develop students' self-confidence
(ii)  Develop students' communication skills
(iii) Develop students' critical thinking
(iv) Develop students' leadership skills

If you've done a lot of past year questions before, you would realize this question is derived from one of the past year papers. I can't remember which, but I'm certain I've done it before. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago and I didn't look through the points before the exams, so the points I said was mostly blabber. Blabber that makes sense, sort of, I guess. I was Candidate A and I totally went blank the second I saw self-confidence 'cause I wasn't sure how to relate it to education. I simply crapped about science and history and whatnot. Even though I don't know whether my points were relevant, I'm happy I was able to make full use of the 2 minutes for my Task A. For Task B, I think we did well. How well, I can't tell, but yeah, well.

The rest of the three papers: Listening, Reading and Writing will be held on the 20th, and I'm having mixed feelings about it.

Till then.

IPTAs will be given sufficient time to implement new <b>Muet</b> <b>...</b> - Blog MUET


IPTAs will be given sufficient time to implement new <b>Muet</b> <b>...</b>

Posted: 17 Oct 2014 02:53 AM PDT

YB-P-Kamalanathan-11-660x330

PETALING JAYA, Oct 17: Local public institutions of higher learning (IPTAs) will be given sufficient time to introduce the new conditions for the Malaysian University English Test (Muet) next year.

Deputy Education Minister P. Kamalanathan said the ministry would give the time to make full preparations to implement the new requirements.

"We will give the IPTAs sufficient opportunity and time to implement the decision (new condition for Muet requirements).

"The IPTAs should not see the upgrading of the Muet grades as a burden," he told Bernama after attending the graduation ceremony of Form Five students of the Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Damansara Utama here today.

He was commenting on worries voiced by Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Mohamed Mustafa Ishak that the new requirements would result in a shortage of students to fill the places in several areas of study offered by local universities.

Kamalanathan said the IPTAs should not worry about the new Muet requirements because the ministry would continue to work hard to help students equip themselves with a command of English before enrolling into the universities.

"We will not leave them on their own and the ministry will do whatever is needed to help them improve their English, even at the school level.

"This is the ministry's responsibility. We will work with the IPTAs and secondary schools on ways to improve the standard of English among schoolchildren," he said.

Last Friday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, when tabling Budget 2015 announced that beginning next year, the new minimum entry requirement for IPTAs, previously at Band 1, was now Band 2 for arts and social science studies (graduation requirement of Band 3); science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) was Band 3 (graduation condition Band 4), while Band 4 was fixed for law and medical studies (graduation condition Band 5). – BERNAMA
