In learning and teaching of Malay Language as a formal language, students need to master the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing since elementary school. Though reading is an important skill that is able to improve learning motivation as well as language competency, the teaching approach for this skill is always far behind interactive and effective move. In order to facilitate the reading skills according to the need and interests of the present generation, the Malay Language teacher need to master (TPCK). To create an effective learning environment which is more fun and engaging or to enhance the creativity, innovation and stimulation of students related to reading skills it is essential and necessary for teachers to master the Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) in order to create an effective learning environment which is more fun and engaging to enhance the creativity, innovation and stimulation of students.

Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a form of self-development for educators which has been known internationally and currently through the phase of implementation in Malaysia. Purpose of this study was focused on PLC implementation that had been applied widely in Higher Education Institution (HEI) which; 1) to identify the relationship between educators' comprehension, readiness and strategies for language learning, and 2) to form a predictive model of relationship between educator's knowledge, preparation and strategy toward improving student's language learning. Three dimensions of PLC which comprehension, readiness and strategies in PLC were analyzed by using SPSS and AMOS. Three hundred sixty students and five lecturers involved as respondents. Correlation analysis and structured equation modeling were used to answer the research objectives. Qualitative data as the predictive model achieved a good fit value of RMSEA=.055, GFI=.980, CFI=.981, TLI=.983 and Chisq/df=2.164. Interview data of 5 educators showed that decency was the main key theme in improving student language learning achievement. The implementation of PLC that related to language as well decency learning had given a new approach in teaching, particularly for educators and students in a language course. The predictive model can be used as primary source guidelines in elevating the Malay language at a higher level, especially for next researches. Secondary source supported the findings. Results showed that there were significant values derived from the relationship between comprehension and language learning (r=.401, p=.000), the relationship between readiness and language learning (r=.541, p=.000), and the relationship between strategy and language learning (r=.891, p=.000).

Nowadays, Malay Language is a medium of instruction at primary, secondary and tertiary levels in Malaysia education system. In learning and teaching of Malay Language, students need to master reading skills since elementary school. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) is best applied in the study of reading skills. Teachers need to master the TPCK in order to create an effective learning environment which more fun and engaging to enhance the creativity, innovation and stimulation of students. Information and Disclosure of Experiences related to TPCK in reading skills is essential and necessary as reference material for the relevant parties.

This study aimed to evaluate high order thinking skill (HOTS) proficiency of students in the understanding of poetry and prose of modern Malay. The samples were carried out in this study were 210 students using quantitative methods as the study design. The findings showed that HOTS for understanding poetry is moderate (mean=2.35, SD=1:07), while the understanding of modern prose is at a high level (mean=2.67, SD=0.98). There are no significant differences between gender in the understanding of modern poetry, but there are significant differences between female students (mean=2.83, SD=0.91) and boys (mean=2.47, SD=1.03) in the understanding of modern prose. Significant differences between the level of HOTS in terms of understanding the poem (mean=3.38, SD=0.64), prose (mean=3.13, SD=0.54) as well as modern poetry and prose (mean=3.25, SD=0.49) among students of high level, medium and low can also be seen. In conclusion, the HOTS should be mastered by students not only academically but also non-academically and the practice of appling HOTS in them through appropriate teaching methods can improve their performance in their studies.

This concept paper aims to identify learning using a metacognitive strategy in reading skill. The skill of reading and understanding text is a key goal to enhance knowledge and the key to success for an individual. In fact, in the learning of reading skill, a focus must be given to the aspects of comprehension and reasoning to achieve success in reading. In addition, the reader needs to know that the reading process is conscious and provides meaning to the reader. The reader needs to create awareness of his reading while focusing on the content of the text being read. By using an effective strategy while reading, the students may know and identify the level of reading comprehension. The metacognitive strategy needs to be applied during the reading process to make sense of the text. The metacognitive means the awareness of thinking or thinking about thought. The metacognitive strategy, too, refers to a way of improving the reading skill which is awareness that includes planning, monitoring, and evaluation. Students can apply the metacognitive strategy and control their learning through the process of designing what they want to learn, monitoring their learning progress and students can evaluate what they learn. The strategy found in the metacognitive can enhance students' learning and intelligence.
