Pembukaan Gelanggang MUET.

Assalamualaikum WBT.

Syukur kehadrat illahi dgn limpah dan kurnianya dapat saya post blog bagi mencerita perkembangan semasa pelajar pra-u SABAR 2009. Agenda kita yang utama pada minggu ini 19/04/09-25/04/09 ialah peperiksaan MUET. Anda sudah bersedia? tatkala saya menulis ini masa yg tinggal hanyalah 4 hari sahaja lagi sebelum kita menjawab 3 paper iaitu Listening (800/1), Reading Comprehension (800/3) and Writing (800/4) pada 25 April. dan pada 12 May pula, Speaking (800/2).

Dengan segala usaha yang anda semua lakukan, saya berharap agar batch pra-u tahun ini akan melangkah lebih jauh dalam pencapaian keputusan dlm MUET. saya yakin, ramai dalam kalangan pelajar yang berkemampuan, tetapi menghadapi masalah persekitaran yang mengongkong anda untuk terus maju dalam bahasa Inggeris. Sebagai contoh, anda sebenarnya sedang belajar ketika anda membaca dengan salah daripada segi pronounciation. dan anda di ketawakan oleh rakan-rakan anda. ini menyebabkan anda berasa malu dan tidak mahu untuk terus membaca dan belajar. Sedar atau tidak, anda telah pun kerugian disebabkan oleh persekitaran yang kurang memberangsangkan.

Saya akui, kita kurang membuat kelas persedian yang rapi untuk menghadapi MUET (kelas tanpa guru) , disebabkan kekangan masa yang semakin hari semakin mencengkam. Jadi, usaha lah bersendirian. Biasakan bertanya dan teruskan membaca. Saya turut menyarankan anda membaca Readers Digest. Faktanya amat diperlukan dalam paper Writing.

Disini juga saya selitkan Components, Scoring and Grading untuk MUET. pls take a look guys.

There are four components in MUET: Listening (800/1), Speaking (800/2), Reading Comprehension (800/3) and Writing (800/4).The maximum scores for each component is 45 for Listening and Speaking, 120 for Reading Comprehension and 90 for Writing, with an aggregate score of 300. The scores are then graded in 6 bands, with Band 6 the highest and Band 1 the lowest.

Band 6 - Very good user (Aggregated score:260-300) Very good command of the language. Highly expressive, fluent, accurate and appropriate language: hardly any inaccuracies. Very good understanding of language and contexts. Functions extremely well in the language.

Band 5 - Good user (Aggregated score:220-259) Good command of the language. Expressive, fluent, accurate and appropriate language but with minor inaccuracies. Good understanding of language and contexts. Functions well in the language.

Band 4 - Competent user (Aggregated score:180-219) Satisfactory command of the language. Satisfactory expressive and fluent,appropriate language but with occasional inaccuracies. Satisfactory understanding of language and contexts. Functions satisfactorily in the language.

Band 3 - Modest user (Aggregated score:140-179) Modest command of the language. Modestly expressive and fluent,appropriate language but with noticeable inaccuracies. Modest understanding of language and contexts. Able to function modestly in the language.

Band 2 - Limited user (Aggregated score:101-139) Limited command of the language. Lacks expressiveness, fluency and appropriacy: inaccurate use of the language resulting in breakdown in communication. Limited understanding of language and contexts. Limited ability to function in the language.

Band 1 - Extremely limited user (Below 100) Poor command of the language. Unable to use language to express ideas: inaccurate use of the language resulting in frequent breakdowns in communication. Little or poor understanding of language and contexts. Hardly able to function in the language.
