DIRECTOR’S MESSAGEAssalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.

2017 has been an “interesting” year. It was a year where we were resolved to generate some income forthe Centre, in line with the university’s aspiration and in supporting one of the Headlines keyperformance indicators of UniMAP, as required by MoHE. At the same time, it had been very evidentfrom the beginning of the year that like us at UniMAP, everyone else was also having to cut back onspending, and were expected to do more with less. And therein was our challenge. Looking back at allthat we have done in 2017, I would like to think that we have managed to overcome the 2017 ‘test’. Iattribute the success to the CIL team, without whose dedication, commitment, resilience andperseverance, many of the activities we have planned would not have come to fruition.

In 2017, CIL generated the most income compared to the previous years, amounting to more than 50%of CIL 2017 operational budget. This is a significant milestone to us, considering that the programmesthat we conducted were also running simultaneously with the mainstream classes that were offered forthe degree and diploma programmes. The programmes involved the provision of language training andenhancement for both students and staff alike, as well as for members of external agencies and thepublic in general. It was a steep learning curve for some of us, as it required us to operate out of ourfamiliar contexts. It had also required us to offer tailor-made training programmes and cater to differentclient needs. Yes, we achieved our main intention of generating income from the programmes, but thebonus that came out of the initiatives was that we got stronger, in our content knowledge, in ourresilience and in our togetherness. That beats all else!

Income generation aside, our main raison d’etre stands strong – to equip UniMAP students with languageskills and competencies essential in the era of knowledge and innovation-based economy. We havebegun work on aligning our English curriculum to the Common Framework of Reference for Languages(CFR) which sees completion in 2018. 2017 saw a higher traffic in students’ request for language advisoryservices, and students who volunteered for the UniMAPfm English and Malay slots. Our ForeignLanguage Day received overwhelming support from students, who showcased their languagecompetencies in various activities. 2017 also marks our inaugural offer of language-based co-curriculumcourse- English Language Theatre Arts, thus providing more avenue for our students to practise theirEnglish language skills. The CIL team also helped students who participated in Bahasa Melayucompetitions organised by external parties, as well as in programmes related to all other foreignlanguages on offer.

Our ties with external parties and other institutions of higher learning have been further strengthened.We remain a favourite for Thai students who came to us for their internship programme. We alsosuccessfully organised SILK2017, which saw our Thai partners coming back to Perlis for the academicmeet. In addition, ISOL2017 took place as a continuation of many years of partnership for studentgrowth and leadership development with Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya (RMUTSV).Indeed, we recognise the importance of these ties, for our own strength and for international mobilityagenda. As such, these will continue to be a key part of the work we do at CIL.

The 2017 terrain has made us stronger, and now we are all set for an even more adventurous 2018.

INTRODUCTION

The Centre for International Languages (CIL) or Pusat Bahasa Antarabangsa, is formerly known as the

Department of International Languages (DIL). Established on March 1, 2013, the Centre focuses on

providing students and staff of Universiti Malaysia Perlis, and the community within its vicinity, with

great opportunities to learn languages.

CIL currently provides language courses which are a requirement for students enrolled in all UniMAP

programmes, at both diploma and undergraduate degree levels. It caters to the needs of the ever-

growing number of students who seek to be proficient not only in Bahasa Melayu and English, but also in

a third language of their choice. Apart from Bahasa Melayu and English, other languages offered at CIL

are Arabic, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Thai.

CIL places priority in equipping UniMAP students with language skills and competencies which are

imperative in this era of knowledge and innovation-based economy. In addition, through our language

courses, we sharpen 21st century skills in our students and clients, in supporting and nurturing them to be

enterprising individuals who will be able to contribute positively in the world of work. Amongst others,

the skills include being creative and innovative, adaptable, being able to work in a team, being effective

communicators and are good in problem solving. The team at CIL also support students’ learning

through the provision of language advisory services, and are ever willing to serve in ensuring that our

students and clients get the best from what we have to offer.

Based on the report above, there was a reduction of translation and editing jobs in 2017compared to 2016. This is caused by the temporary suspension of translation workapplications during the UTPB operations revision process and the deliberation for thecharging of services. The 111th University Management Committee Meeting (No. 5/2017)approved of the proposal for the operation and the revision of the UTPB translation andediting rates. The guidelines and the standard operating procedures (SOP) weredeveloped and enforced 15th November 2017.
