Accounting education is a discipline, profession and platform for academicians as educators and researchers to conduct various studies on students’ academic achievement. Various courses offered in the field of accounting, such as financial reporting, management accounting, auditing and taxation. The taxation course is specifically evolving in response to changes in economy, budgets, environment and the needs of the stakeholders. In line with these changes, accounting

delivery of these taxation courses are merely in the form of lectures, tutorials and other means of conveyances such as presentations and assignments. Various ways of teaching delivery methods enable rewarding and exciting teaching and learning environment of the taxation courses, which results in an improvement of the students’ academic achievement.
