Second Stage

The Implementation of CEFR in Malaysia is currently at the second stage whereby the classroom usage of the new CEFR-aligned syllabus and assessment has taken place since 2017 at all stages except for Form 5. Previous studies on CEFR in Malaysia have focused more on teachers’ views and their readiness in accepting the new changes. However, this study focusses more on ascertaining the suitability of the writing syllabus specifications against the CEFR writing scale to find out if the CEFR levels of writing syllabus specifications recommended by the teachers match the CEFR level set by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. A total of 331 secondary school teachers were asked to respond to the writing syllabus checklist and the Winstep SPSS was used for data analysis. Findings have shown that productive skills of the writing syllabus specifications were found not to be aligned to the target CEFR level set by the Ministry. In conclusion, adjustment and alignment processes should be made accordingly to align and match the non-CEFR aligned English syllabus to the CEFR global scale instead of eradicating it.

Tourism is an important industry that has created a lot of income for many nations, including Thailand; therefore, it is essential to increase its potential as a more sustainable and successful industry, in particular to support a sustainable recovery of nations’ economies after a tough situation like Covid-19. The present study was carried out to investigate tourism staff’s problems and needs for using English at work and to explore their needs for improving English for their work. The participants were 200 hotel staff in Phang Nga Province, Thailand. Data were collected through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed for data analysis. The findings showed that in general, the hotel staff’s problem in using English at work was at a moderate level (M=2.76, S.D.=1.11). They had English writing problems the most. They found it very difficult to write letters or e-mails in English. Regarding their needs for using English, it was found that every English skill was rated at a high level (M=3.75, S.D.=1.11), and English speaking was the most necessary. The hotel staff reported that they had to speak English to welcome, greet and say good-bye to foreign guests. Pertaining to their needs for improving English, overall, the hotel staff needed to improve their English skills at a high level (M=3.85, S.D.=0.98). They highly needed to improve their English use in every aspect, especially English listening. Based on the interview information, English courses, handbooks or applications relating to English for hotels are truly needed for their English use improvement.

Purpose This study aims to explore a sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) sukuk model based on Musharakah that could be implemented to develop waqf properties and assets under the SRI sukuk framework in Malaysia. This includes proposing and designing a potential SRI sukuk model and seeking the opinion of subject-matter experts and industry practitioners on the model, its attractiveness to investors and its feasibility to implement in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts desk research and semi-structured interview as its methodology. A desk research is where a detailed critical review and analysis of past literature from reports, journals, framework, books and practices are undertaken. To establish a SRI sukuk model, the paper also studies the cases of the first SRI sukuk issued in Malaysia and other waqf-related sukuks that have been structured for the development of waqf property/asset in the past. Following that, the opinion of subject-matter experts and industry practitioners on the proposed SRI sukuk model is sought in a semi-structured interview. Findings Based on the interviewees’ response, the study proposes the most feasible SRI sukuk model that could be implemented in the Malaysian context for the development of waqf properties/assets, which is a Musharakah-based sukuk model. The model will be elaborated based on the purpose of development, functionality, choice of Shari’ah contract, obligor and return mechanism. Research limitations/implications This paper is exploratory in nature. While it explores the structural point of view only, future research could analyse and identify the legal, regulatory, financial and Shari’ah aspects of the proposed model. Further empirical studies can be done to provide more comprehensive idea and knowledge regarding the subject matter. Practical implications The study serves great benefit to the government, waqf administrators, regulators, policymakers, foundations, corporations and interested investors to explore SRI sukuk as one of the feasible financial instruments to develop waqf in Malaysia. Originality/value This study proposes the use of an innovative financial instrument called SRI sukuk and structures a feasible SRI sukuk model to help realise the true roles of waqf as not only a religious tool but also one of the instruments for human, economic and social developments.

We present in this paper an integrated framework for collection and analysis of Facet-based text data. The integrated framework consists of four components: (1) user interface, (2) web crawler, (3) data analyzer, and (4) database (DB). User interface is used to set input Facet and option values for web crawling and text data analysis using a graphical user interface (GUI). In fact, it offers outcomes of research by data visualization. The web crawler collects text data from articles posted on the web based on input Facets. The data analyzer classifies papers in "relevant articles" (i.e., word sets to be included on such posts) and "nonrelevant articles" with predefined information. It then analyzes the text data of the relevant articles and visualizes the results of the data analysis. Ultimately, the DB holds the generated text information, the predefined user-defined expertise and the outcomes of data analysis and data visualization. We verify the feasibility of an integrated framework by means of proof of concept (PoC) prototyping. The experimental results show that the implemented prototype reliably collects and analyzes the text data of the articles.

Accessibility of positioning technologies such as GPS offer the opportunity to store one’s travel experience and publish it on the web. Using this feature in web-based social networks and considering location information shared by users as a bridge connecting the users’ network to location information layer leads to the formation of Geo-Social Networks. The availability of large amounts of geographical and social data on these networks provides rich sources of information that can be utilized for studying human behavior through data analysis in a spatial-temporal-social context. This paper attempts to investigate the behavior of around 1150 users of Foursquare network by making use of their check-ins. The authors analyzed the metadata associated with the whereabouts of the users, with an emphasis on the type of places, to uncover patterns across different temporal and geographical scales for venue category usage. The authors found five groups of meaningful patterns that can explore region characteristics and recognize a number of major crowd behaviors that recur over time and space.
