teaching style, standing or seated is better?

I never thought a teacher standing in front of class, walking and moving around class plays a greater effect in teaching compared to a seated teacher. After attending a workshop about teaching and learning, I implied what the speaker told us regarding this matter.

I tried standing longer than before. I could feel the difference. Truly, it took more energy, but within me myself, I felt more enthusiast. I can see my students clearer. I can see whether they were busy with their phones or looking blurry towards me.

During exercise session, I wandered around the class, which I never had done it before. Surprisingly, some of my students raised up their hands asking me to come to them and check on their answers. They also asked me about uncertain things they were facing.

Clearly, this style of teaching can help students better in understanding. They will also feel closer to their teacher and happy for the attention given.

A month in USAS

It’s almost a month since the day I started working here in USAS. Many asked me how my career was going. I can say, I love being here. The workload is bearable, and I love my career. I truly learnt a lot through teaching. My students sometimes gave me questions that were testing my knowledge. When I got questions that I didn’t know how to answer, I asked them to find out themselves when they get home. Little did they know; their teacher had stumbled over their questions. The matter didn’t stop there, I took the questions as a homework. I studied and asked my former lecturer to receive a definite answer.

Another thing is, I would like to tell you guys about my dean named Dr. Roslan. On my second week of working, I had a lengthy conversation with him. He proposed that I further my study in the US. It never crossed my mind the United State will be a place to continue my studies. I had planned to take my Phd overseas like in Turkey, Brunei, Qatar, or a few other Arab countries, but not in the West. Dr. Roslan had broadened my view and assured me that I will love studying, working and even staying in the US for my whole life.

The most interesting thing was, he bet his life that I will come back to Malaysia as the first one who has a deep knowledge in Middle East studies. He couldn’t describe to me the methodology was studied there, but I could feel the distinction from his shiny eyes. I wish I have a chance to seek the knowledge there and prove all his claims.

TUGAS PENSYARAH

Tugas utama seorang pensyarah ada 5 perkara:

1. Pengajaran

2. Penyelidikan

3. Penulisan

4. Penerbitan

5. Kemasyarakatan

Yang membezakan profesion seorang pensyarah dan seorang guru ialah pada perkara ke-2 hingga 4.

Pensyarah perlu fokus utk menghasilkan penyelidikan-penyelidikan untuk kenaikan pangkat dan juga untuk dikenali.

Dalam satu minggu, kita bekerja selama 40 jam. Tugas mengajar selalunya dalam 18-21 jam seminggu. Baki masa yang kita duduk di pejabatlah perlu diluangkan untuk melakukan kajian dan penyelidikan.

40jam -21jam = 19jam

Adaikata masa yg kita guna untuk membuat kertas soalan, merancang P&P kita ambil masa sehingga 10 jam seminggu.. kita masih mempunya 9 jam seminggu.

jadi paling kurang(sekurang-kurangnya) satu jam perlu diperuntukkan untuk merancang, membaca dan menulis penyelidikan.

Kuncinya ialah disiplin. Jangan membuang masa balik ke rumah, pergi pasar, sibuk dgn urusan anak dsb. DISIPLIN.

kalau ditanya pensyarah yg mendapat title proffesor ada umur 35 apa rahsianya? rahsianya ialah disiplin.

ok ustazah? (ups, pensyarah)

Bagaimana nak mantapkan bahasa arab?

Semalam saya bertemu penyelia master saya, Dr Yasir Ismail. Kami sempat berbincang mengenai penulisan artikel. Dr menyedari kelemahan saya dalam penguasaan bahasa arab lalu saya bertanyakan beliau apakah cara untuk mengusainya.

Beliau mengatakan terdapat dua cara, dan kedua-dua cara ini mengambil masa yang lama tapi insyaAllah akan berhasil. Cara-caranya:

1. الاستماع الصحيح (mendengar bahan audio yg fusha)
2. القراءة الصحيحة (membaca teks arab berbaris)

Untuk cara pertama, beliau menyarankan saya mengumpul audio2 dalam bahasa arab ke dlm thumbdrive dan dengar semasa memandu. Beliau bercerita, semasa zaman beliau belajar di tanah arab suatu ketika dahulu, beliau banyak membeli kaset2 arab dan kerap mendengarnya. Pastikan ianya fusha dan tajuk yg dibincangkan adalah sesuatu yg kita minati.

Untuk cara yang kedua, beliau menyarankan agar saya memperbanyakkan membaca kitab2 arab yg berbaris. Buku2 berbaris juga banyak boleh didapati di internet.

Dan pesanan terakhir beliau, biarkan apa yg kita baca dan dengar itu berulang, kerana lama2 ia akan meresap dan membantu kita untuk menguasai bahasa arab.

KERJA PERTAMAKU SELEPAS MASTER

Bukanlah sedikit yg pelik dgn pilihan aku memilih bidang ini,

Guru-guru sekolah, kawan-kawan rapat,
Tidak terlepas juga kedua ibu bapaku,

Apatah lagi aku.

Ya, mmg aku kerap kali persoalkan pilihan aku 6 tahun yang lalu.

Ada satu niat yg aku niatkan semasa memilih bidang ini,

Dan biarlah aku dan tuhan shj yg tahu.

Sungguh aku tak manyangka aku mampu pergi sejauh ini,

Dan moga direzekikan tuhan untuk aku pergi lebih jauh,

Bukan untuk aku, tapi utk tabung akhiratku.

Ambillah masa utk berfikir.

Tuhan berikan pedoman..

Tunjukkan aku arah jalan yang kau redhai..

Tuhan berikan pedoman..

Dan bila ku menjauh kembali ke pangkal jalan..

-Nora, Pedoman.

Kita mohon agar tuhan bimbing hati kita ke jalan yang diredhai.

Hati kena banyakkan bersabar, take time to think.

Jangan lakukan sesuatu secara melulu mengikut emosi.

Good things take time T_T

Tuhan pasti merencanakan yang terbaik buat hamba-hambanya yang bersabar.

He will give us what we need,

Not what we want.

أخذ juga turut membawa maksud membalas dendam

biasanya kita tahu أخذ bermaksud ambil

sebenarnya ada 3 lagi makna yg lain:
1. makan تناول
2. merampas/mengambil alih تملّك
3. membalas dendam انتقم/..بالثأر

padanla dlm quran ada sebut:

وَأَصْحَابُ مَدْيَنَ ۖ وَكُذِّبَ مُوسَىٰ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ (44)
dan penduduk Madyan, dan telah didustakan Musa, lalu Aku tangguhkan (azab-Ku) untuk orang-orang kafir, kemudian Aku azab mereka, maka (lihatlah) bagaimana besarnya kebencian-Ku (kepada mereka itu). (Al-Hajj 22:44)

yanzurun juga bermaksud menunggu

Baru-baru ini saya diajukan satu soalan berbunyi;

Kenapa perkataan ‘yanzurun’ dalam surah az-zukhruf ayat ke 66 bermaksud menunggu dan bukan melihat?

Seperti yg kita tahu menunggu dalam Bahasa arab ialah yantazirun dan bukannya yanzurun.

هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَّا السَّاعَةَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿٦٦ الزخرف﴾

Mereka tidak menunggu kecuali kedatangan hari kiamat kepada mereka dengan tiba-tiba sedang mereka tidak menyadarinya.

Setelah bertanyakan soalan ini kpd sv saya, dr memberitahu bahawa selain drp bermaksud melihat, yanzurun juga bermaksud menunggu dan ianya merupakan penggunaan pada waktu dahulu. Selain itu, yanzurun yg bermaksud menunggu ini juga adalah penggunaan yg bersifat unik atau mumayyiz di dalam alquran.

JOB INTERVIEW IN ARABIC LANGUAGE SCOPE

Yesterday, I had my fifth interview during my master’s studies period.

The list of companies that I’ve attended as below:

1.      Translator at a law firm-succeed but not attend the job

2.      Tv Al-Hijrah broadcaster-failed

3.      Arabicara as an Arabic teacher- iv on phone and succeed

4.      Uia CELPAD teacher- failed during the exam, need to compete with Arabs and also PhD candidates.

5.      PCOM as an executive secretary- failed (updated)

So yesterday (22/5/2018), I went to PCOM and had my iv session with 2 Arab guys from Palestine. One named Haris-the boss, and the other guy named Muslim, the chief of PCOM.

At the beginning, I was not interested to apply for this position. I knew about this job vacancy from a friend. But then, in an event organized by Brikid, I met Muslim. He encouraged me to send my resume since I was about to finish my studies.

When I arrived at their office in Titiwangsa, I had a chat with my friend and she told me that an applicant has failed due to her lacking in English even though she already has her master and scored 4 flat in political studies! I felt a little bit scared to hear the story as I wasn’t that excellent in English too.

During the interview:

I was asked to introduce myself. What is my opinion regarding the new government? Who is the chief minister from Amanah? -it's the CM of Melaka. I can’t answer that. What about my personality test? What do I know about PCOM? What was my view about PCOM Fb’s page? I can’t answer that also because I really don’t remember the contents. Do I have any experience as a group leader and giving out tasks to the group members? What do I want to be? I answered that I want to be a lecturer but I need to pursue my studies to be a lecturer. From this question, I think it’s the best to answer a career which 
is related to the job we asked for. For example, I am intended to participate in volunteering or seeking a job associated with the Palestinians and other refugees or something like that.

At the end of the day, I knew that I can do better IF and only if I was well-prepared. It was my mistake to take this opportunity lightly. I was influenced to hear my friend’s experience having an iv with them, as she was asked simple questions about her background and something related to it. The position she applied for wasn’t the same position as I applied for, and that clarifies the different levels of our interview.

From this iv, I learned that:

1.    We need to know about the company that we apply for very well.

2.    We need to be knowledgeable and updated on the news.

3.    We have to know our career goal.

4.    What is our added value that will make them choose us?

5.    Read more and master the English and Arabic language, both in speaking and writing.

For all the things happened, I thank God for this opportunity and for giving me time to contemplate this life.

Aku ada buat dakwah ke?

I just so touched when this morning I saw a video in fb, how an Australian man converted to Islam. He was converted by ust firdaus wong and masyaLLAH he is also a revert Muslim. I rasa malu dgn diri sendiri yg sejak lahir muslim, belajar dalam Bahasa arab, ajar mengaji (berbayar) ni pun masih solat subuh gajah. Pagi tu I had a deep thought thinking of what job I should apply after graduating (insyaAllah in nov 2018). Bila tgk video tu terus rasa nak join the organization-Multiracial Reverted Muslims - MRM, buat street dakwah. Kalau hidup kat dunia ni duk kisah pada diri sendiri je memang tak ke mana kita. I need to start thinking of how to make benefit from my life in this dunya for my living in the hereafter. I also feel a bit upset of my decision making utk taknak pergi usrah and hafazan class, making excuses and all. Take anything for granted. Astaghfirullah3x.

Secondly, I terbaca comment kt fb tentang betapa tingginya keperluan guru agama and Bahasa arab diperlukan di sabah Sarawak. I pernah tahu pasal tu, dan kebetulan mmg pernah ada student from arabicara dari sabah yg try jugak ajar anak dia Bahasa arab even she just knew nothing but a little about Bahasa arab. Sekolah kat sana mmg ada buku teks Bahasa arab, tp guru yang nak mengajar yang tak ada. And this commenter said, kalau dia selfish, mmg dia akan enroll master this sept but he can’t. He has a big responsibility of being a teacher and he did it! MasyaAllah, may Allah bless this brother from the scarification he made T.T

So kalau betul hidup di dunia utk akhirat, I need to join any organization, buat dakwah. I berhajat one day I can teach people mengaji without ambik upah. I need to have a high salary, buat donation, support ngo2, and mengajar secara sukarela.

And not to forget, embrace everything around me and not taking them for granted. Commit usrah to learn more about Islam, correcting myself, kutip nasihat and panjangkan lagi tali dakwah. Tali dakwah akan terus memanjang dan disambut oleh orang2 yg bersedia dengannya, tapi takkan kita just nak tgk saja, tak nak jadi orang yg menyambungnya???

Watch the video:

Apa tujuan sambung belajar??

Semalam ada liqa dgn murobbi baru. Alhamdulillah, bersyukur kerana tergerak jugak hati utk pergi usrah sbb walaupun semalam hanya sempat buat taaruf dgn usrahmate yg baru (and ada juga 3 org usrahmate yg lama), still byk sgt dpt input yg berguna.

Disebabkan ini ialah usrah for PG students, masing2 share academic background masing2. It was truly wide opening session bila kita dgr tajuk kajian masing2 dan interest field mereka. At first, I was really shy to share my research topic sebab tak rasa pun my thesis will contribute much to society. It was because, my usrahmate yg perkenalkan diri before me said her research paper was about takaful. Generally her paper akan kaji pasal system takaful di mana pada harini, hanya org berkemampuan shj yg mampu untuk bayar. Tapi sebenanya konsep takaful ialah dia saling membantu. Kalau org miskin tak mampu bayar takaful, jadi apakah cara yg membolehkan mereka menerima takaful itu? And my murobbi did ask her, after you siap kajian, kat peringkat mana hasil kajian you boleh diaplikasikan? And she said, she targeted corporate people. And her paper topic pun sgt menarik minat semua org sebab berkait rapat dgn maslahah org Islam.  

And lagi sorg ukhti pulak, dia masa degree ambil bahagian mass communication atau media com (lebih kurang macam tu). So sekarang dia dah kerja dgn NGO Palestine(PCOM: Palestinian Cultural Organization – Malaysia) yg berfungsi sebagai org tgh antara ngo2 malaysia sprt MyCare dan sewaktu dgnnya dgn Palestine. Dia ibarat embassy of palestin tapi NGO punya organization. Ukhti tu seorang shj malay yg kerja di situ. Dia byk uruskan perkara2 yg melibatkan orang besar@ kerajaan something like that. Dia cerita yang org2 palestin ni pandai2. Bila cakap pasal academic, mereka mmg target utk belajar shgg phD. Jadi ukhti ni sedikit sebanyak menjadi tekad utk further study sampai phd memandangkan semua collegue dia pun master and phd candidates. So, skrg this ukhti is in her first sem in master, and Alhamdulillah, dia dpt scholarship drp kerajaan turki utk buat master di sana. Dia katanya mmg sgt passionate utk membuat kajian sehinggakan masa degree dulu, doc dia pilih paper dia utk dipublishkan. So bila macam tu, dia lagi la berkobar-kobar utk sambung master. And lebih mengujakan lagi, dia akan buat research mengenai conflict Israel-palestin! Ini lagi wow! Sbb international issue punya level dia kaji.

So masa my turn utk taaruf session, I pun cerita laa pasal bidang I iaitu Bahasa arab dgn shy-shy cat nya.. sbb rasa inferior betul dgn org lain. To my surprised they actually sgt interested nak tahu pasal kajian i. and diorg rasa awesome gila I boleh further study in Arabic. From there, I rasa terharu la jugak sbb org lain sebenarnya pandang tinggi je bidang Bahasa arab ni dan tak seperti yg I rasa rasakan selama ni. So apa yg I rasakan sebelum ni? I cuma rasakan bidang ni sgt tak popular dan tak wow sgt pun berbanding bidang2 lain. So insyAllah lepas ni I akan cuba lebih mengahrgai nikmat ilmu yg Allah kasi ni sbb ramai yg ingin mendalami bhs arab tapi mereka tak mampu. Semoga, I boleh ajar ramai org mengenali dan memahami bhs arab yang akhirnya bertujuan utk lebih memahami isi kandungan al-quran itu sendiri, insyaAllah.

Untuk penutup I suka sgt dgn kata2 penutup dari murobbi i. dia kata semoga kita ni menjadi org yg ada barokah. Barokah pada ilmunya, waktunya, rezekinya, umurnya and everything. Cuba bayangkan kita ni menjadi org yg barokah, tak tergambar rasanya betapa byk kebaikan yg kita boleh salurkan hatta kita dah mati sekalipun, sepertimana ulama2 terdahulu, umur mereka tak panjang pun, tp kerana keberkatan pada umurnya, dirinya, dia mampu beri contribution hingga ke hari ini. Wallahuaklam.
