Today, translation of one language into another not only involves humans but it can also be done through translation applications available on the internet. At first the ability of these apps was to translate one word but lately there have been applications that seem to translate not only words but can translate complete sentence and book phrases. The applications that are commonly used and well received is Google Translate application in which there is a translation of the Malay language to Arabic and vice versa. But how accurate is Google Translate to be used to translate the texts of the Malay language into Arabic. Therefore, this study aims to explore the accuracy of Google Translate in translating text from Malay to Arabic language and explain the errors found by the script role play provided by UiTM Melaka Branch students as part of an ongoing test during the semester. This study is expected to benefit Arabic language learners to minimize the use of Google Translate and to fine-tune the translation results especially in terms of vocabulary and sentence structure.
Online Distance Learning (ODL) has devised a novel existence where technology and the internet are inevitable and no longer an option. Many academic institutions especially tertiary education were compelled to adapt their pedagogical style to ODL. In the context of learning Arabic Communication, Google Meet has been used extensively as a learning medium. Although Google Meet is seen as a suitable medium for ODL, the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes still depends on the student's acceptance of its use. Therefore, this article aims to analyse students' acceptance of Google Meet as an online learning platform for Arabic Communication. This study uses a quantitative method through a descriptively analysed questionnaire instrument which focuses on the ease of use, usability, attitudes and intentions of the students. The results of the study found that students' level of acceptance towards the use of Google Meet in learning Arabic is moderate, which depicts that the students acknowledge and are optimistic towards the use of Google Meet as one of the learning platforms. However, further improvements need to be done by reassessing the materials and content as well as teaching and learning management techniques as a whole. This is to ascertain that the effectiveness and sustainability of Arabic language learning continue to be more substantial, especially in situations that require ODL to be taken place.
Declining vocabulary and poor comprehension of complex sentences are some depleting language skills faced by the elderly. As such, this study explored the cues that construct young people's understanding of effective communication within the older and young adult dyad. Qualitative data retrieved from open-ended questions were thematically analysed, and specific facets that contribute to understanding age-related differences were developed. The results catalysed the development of the Integrative Language-based Communication Diagram that could reduce the prevalence of communication breakdown. This environmental approach can also help elders adapt communication to be a necessary tool for living safely and independently.
Museums have become an important institution for learning activities especially for young visitors as it provides significant function towards educational benefits and knowledge enrichment. The actual outcomes from learning experience need to be encountered in order to indicate satisfying experience level from museum visiting. However, the assessment of satisfying experience on museum visit is entirely lacking in the existing literatures. Therefore, this study proposes a set of assessment for young visitors in order to evaluate their satisfying experiences in museum. The items were adapted and developed from the concept of satisfying experiences established by museum practitioners. This paper aims to present evidence in order to show the validity of the survey data and the instrument meets the requirements of specific measurements as determined by Rasch model. It is hoped that the assessment of satisfying experience will benefit researchers as well as practitioners and educators in managing the quality of young visitors experience in museum. The literature also intends to add to the body of knowledge in museum context. Keywords: Learning, Museum, Rasch model, Satisfying experiences, Young visitors
