Opening Up Alternatives to Dominant Ideological Constructions of English Language Teaching in Malaysia     

Mohd Muzhafar Idrus  Habibah Ismail  Hazlina Abdullah  Hazleena Baharun  Noor Saazai Mat Saad  Ramiaida Darmi 《Changing English: An International Journal of English Teaching》2019,26(3):306-320

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the impact of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) on the way English language teaching (ELT) is currently understood and practised in Malaysia. It presents a critical discourse analysis of newspaper texts in order to show how CEFR represents a form of Western-imposed globalisation that conflicts with local cultures and values. We argue that the newspapers construct a dominant discourse that promotes a vision of society that accords with CEFR–ELT implementation. Our aim is to contribute to the development of a counter-discourse that challenges the broader world-view underpinning ELT.  相似文献

Do you Facebook? Usage and applications of Facebook page among academic libraries in Malaysia     

A.R. Riza Ayu  A. Abrizah 《International Information and Library Review》2011,43(4):239-249

This paper explores the use and application of Facebook among Malaysian academic libraries in order to provide academic libraries with ideas for best practices in using social networking sites to better profile themselves and communicate effectively with their users. The research questions guiding this study were: (a) What are the extent and nature of institutional Facebook use by Malaysian academic libraries? (b) What information do Malaysian academic libraries deliver through Facebook page? This study employs content analysis to examine current uses of the library Facebook page. A checkpoint was developed to analyze the libraries’ usage and application of Facebook page. A total of 14 academic libraries in Malaysia are using Facebook page as part of their services to users. However only three libraries are fully utilizing their Facebook page, and they have been identified as “Skaters” based on the 8-S Framework of Category Development for Facebook user. Most libraries are using their Facebook page for marketing and creating awareness of library services to their users.  相似文献

Measuring the outcomes of information literacy: Perception vs evidence-based data     

Szarina Abdullah 《International Information and Library Review》2013,45(2):98-104

This paper emphasizes the significance of using evidence-based data (EBD) in measuring the outcomes of Information Literacy programs. The paper highlights the differences between data collected from evidence which is based on the actual performance of individuals who have gone through IL programs, as opposed to just perception-based data (PBD) which is predicated primarily on opinions (whether laymen or experts). The author contends that the outcomes of IL programs can be better measured based on the tangible performance of individuals who have completed an IL program, rather than by the perceptions of students or librarians. Evidence-based data are particularly useful for managers because they provide concrete evidences about specific areas of strengths and weaknesses that need improvement, and/or are otherwise valuable in planning and implementing IL programs in general.  相似文献   

A framework for portal implementation: A case for Saudi organizations     

Abdullah S. Al-Mudimigh Author VitaeZahid UllahAuthor Vitae  Talal Abdullah Alsubaie 《International Journal of Information Management》2011,31(1):38-43

Portals provide an aggregated and personalized view of information through a large application integrating information, people, and processes across organizational boundaries. As such, portals can significantly impact organizations, completely changing how they work and operate. In addition, many critical success factors can affect portals at any stage of implementation. Many organizations lack suitable frameworks for implementing portals to ensure success in the organization, customer satisfaction, and employee morale. To address this gap, we proposed a comprehensive framework to develop and operate portal projects by considering specific critical success factors. We have evaluated and compared this work with previous work in the same field, more accurate and significant results.  相似文献
