Inspiring language learning: a German nurse’s journey to overcoming barriers / Nur Ilianis Adnan

The initiative of having collaborative teaching every semester is a great effort by our institute to encourage collaboration. I typically use this golden opportunity to invite industry professionals, specifically non-Malaysians, to introduce my students to the outside world and broaden their perspectives through interaction with these guests. Last semester, I invited a native English speaker from the US to share with my pre-diploma students in the course ELC030. This semester, I decided to take a different approach. Instead of inviting a native speaker, I invited a non-native English speaker to share her experience learning English. This way, the students can relate to her struggles and realize they are not alone.
