Dr. in the house, Dr. Nur Ashiquin C. Alih

Some have said that change is inevitable. To others, change is a crippling fear as it means endless uncertainties, baseless assurances and unending challenges. Most would see change negatively, making it difficult for most to embrace it. For Dr Nur Ashiquin C. Alih however, change is a chance for her to study other people's reactions and perspectives on it. With this in mind, she becomes intrigued to study teachers' perceived resistance towards the new policy in the English language education system. Her PhD focuses on examining teachers' knowledge and readiness on CEFR implementation in Malaysia. Looking at her PhD focus, it is apparent that she has the passion to contribute to the education world, and there is no doubt that her contribution will be valued by many.
