This is an action research which aims to examine the effectiveness of the application of Video Project Based Learning on verb vocabulary mastery among non-native primary students. Four Year 6 non-native pupils participated in this study. Research data were collected via pre-test and post-test. Pre-test results showed that the students' verb vocabulary was at weak to moderate level. Intervention was then carried out by conducting four series of video projects. For each series, students are asked to record suitable actions based on 12 verbs given. At the end of the intervention, students have successfully recorded four videos which comprised of 48 verbs. Post-test results showed that two of the students' verb vocabulary have improved to excellent level, one improved to moderate level, and one remain at weak level. All four students have shown great improvements in recognizing verbs based on photos given. However, their ability to use verbs in sentences have only shown minimal improvements. Therefore, it is suggested that in the next research, students should try to make their own sentences in their videos, so that they could learn to use the verbs accurately. Project video for learning nouns and adjectives should also be considered in future.

This concept paper discusses the issues and challenges faced by Chinese teachers in teaching the Malay language at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC). In accordance with the functionality of the Malay language as the national language, the Malay language should not only be mastered by the Malays but for all races in Malaysia. Good command of the Malay language can foster the self-esteem of every citizen in this country. The Malay language is also a compulsory subject that should be studied by every student, including students at SJKC. Teaching the Malay Language by Chinese teachers in SJKC is not an easy job because Chinese students are not native speakers of the Malay language. It is much different from their native language, the Malay language is only used by Chinese students during lessons and they seldom use it in their daily life. Chinese students are lack interest in learning the Malay language because it seems that learning the Malay language is very difficult for them. Therefore, the Chinese students’ achievement in the Malay language is still not satisfactory. Thus, the main focus of this concept paper is to analyse the issues and challenges faced by Chinese teachers in teaching the Malay language. These challenges make it difficult for teachers in ensuring satisfactory achievement among pupils. Various methods should be taken to improve the quality of teaching the Malays language in SJKC and thus to produce Chinese students who are fluent in speaking the Malay language. Therefore, the Chinese teachers who teach the Malay language in SJKC have to bear this responsibility by taking various initiatives to enhance the achievement of Chinese students in Malay language learning. Through this concept paper, it is hoped to reveal the issue of teaching the Malay language by Chinese teachers in SJKC to various parties.
