:: A BRAND NEW SEMESTER ::

Altogether, I have six modules to complete this semester.
It sounds much better that the original seven since one module will be pushed forward to the last semester.

I've been doing Malay & Literature studies for about 5 years now.
But on every module registration day, I'll anticipate modules that have to do with society.
I'm a sucker for that.
And this semester, I'm not disappointed.
There's the multicultural studies : appreciating and valuing differences modules, Islam and the Malay Society which will discuss Islamization of the Malays in the past and contemporary period, the conditioning of the Malay value system and the influence of Islam on Malay ideas in education, aesthetics, community life and economic ethos module as well as Readings in Malay Language Education which will look into the social construction of the language curriculum, bilingual and multilingual education, language and culture, language and ethnicity, language and cognition as well as globalization and issues surrounding the role of Malay language.

Foreseeing a hectic semester since the other three modules involve linguistic studies.
