The First APB Conference for Undergraduates 2018 / Nadiah Yahyauddin

On Thursday, 29th November 2018, The Academy of Language Studies (APB) UiTM Negeri Sembilan Rembau Campus had organized its first one-day mini conference. The conference gathered 12 groups of students from Mass Communication & Media Studies, Information Management and Business & Management Studies. These students have been tutored by dedicated lecturers of APB to start their own research from scratch and polish their presentation skills through their classes in EWC 661, English for Report Writing. The first part of the conference started with a briefing by the chairperson of the mini-conference, Mr James S. Kunaratnam. Students were huddled in DK200 for a session on the rules and regulation that they must adhere to. After the briefing, they were separated into four classes for the parallel sessions. Students took their turns to present their topic. To add a little challenge to the students’ presentation skill, special judges were invited to assess the twelve groups’ ability in delivering the results of their study.
