Arabic language is amongst one of the most important languages in the world. Its importance is accentuated in the business world as Arab countries are known for their economic prowess and ingenuity. In the Muslim world, learning Arabic becomes farḍu ʿayn or compulsory because it is the crux of the Islamic religion which uses the Quran as its main reference for guidance.  Learning Arabic strengthens the understanding of the Quran and Hadith. Children in Malaysia are now learning Arabic in schools but the teaching and learning of Arabic is limited in the classroom and hardly used outside school. Consequently, the learning of the Arabic language is not so successful in Malaysia because this language is taught using Bahasa Melayu as a medium. Hence, drastic steps must be taken by parents to encourage the use of the language outside the classroom using the direct method. Syllabus should be revised to include the use of Arabic language as communication language.  Hopefully, this step will propel the successful learning of Arabic language as a second language in Malaysia.

Postgraduates learning experiences namely knowledge, values and contacts acquired, professional and personal values acquired and specific learning problems encountered has shown a multiple dimension. The task of evaluating the student learning experience in postgraduate education can point out to researchers and university educators’ various mismatches that would not be immediately known otherwise. With this, universities can take proactive steps to celebrate learner diversity when addressing students’ difficulties in their continuous effort to further enhance support and facilities for their postgraduate students. This study aims to identify the elements and proposed a model of Techniques and Tactics (TT-s) that need to be implemented by educators and learners in helping to create students who are able, to succeed with further establishing best practice and effective model. Therefore, two guidelines for Models of Techniques and Tactics (TT-s) relationships for effective learning is discussed. The study is quantitative in nature and employed narrative approach. The findings are synthesized and summarized by presenting a matrix discussion of specific guidelines to increase effectiveness in the best practice and process of students learning. This study aims to propose a model to address the successful postgraduates’ studies. The model will robust postgraduates’ students to succeed in their learning journey.

This research aims to examine the independence concept in Ahmad Syauqi's poetry entitled Yā Ayyuhā As-Sāil mā Al-Ḥuriyyah based on the theory of New Historicism by Stephen Greenblatt. This research tried to reveal the historical background of Egyptian colonialism and its relevance to Ahmad Syauqi's poetry, thus giving the meaning concept of independence a meaning related to the events at the time. Formally, the independence concept is coupled with the theory of New Historicism. The method used is descriptive-qualitative, collecting research data through the following process; 1) reading the text repeatedly, 2) translating the poetry text, 3) recording sentences related to formal objects, and 4) classifying the data based on the purpose. Meanwhile, research data analysis was carried out through the following stages; 1) reading the text in parallel, 2) presenting data and discussion, and 3) presenting conclusions from the results of the analysis. The results of the study on the concept of independence in the poem Yā Ayyuhā As-sāil Mā Al-ḥuriyyah showed that the characteristics and works of poetry are influenced by the historical background experienced by the author. Secondly, a nation's social, economic, and political conditions can be identified in literary works through the New Historicism study process. Thirdly, there are three concepts of the meaning of independence based on Ahmad Syauqi's poetry, namely: 1) independence as something precious and sacred, 2) independence as a source of national strength, and 3) independence as a form of sacrifice.

The Arabic language is the most important language in Malaysian education because of its connection with the Quranic language. This study is about the development of a basic model for improving the speaking skills of preschool children (Q-Nutqi). Q stands for Qur’an, Nutqi means to speak. The objectives of this study were to identify the basic needs in Arabic speaking skills of preschool children, then design and develop a model through the implementation of Arabic speaking modules of Quranic communication, finally, evaluate the effectiveness of this model. This study will be conducted using the ADDIE model. The analysis phase will identify the need for a basic model in speaking through the method of interviewing several Islamic preschool teachers in Selangor. Then, the model design phase to find out the learning objectives and determine the learning and teaching methods (L&T) using the Q-Nutqi model. The model development phase involves 12 experts in Arabic, early childhood education, and industry to evaluate the design of the model produced for improvement. The implementation phase of the Q-Nutqi speaking model through training modules for preschool teachers to use the model. The final phase is the evaluation phase to find out the impact and effectiveness of the model on preschool children. Through this study, the research team hopes to be able to develop a model that fits the basic needs of Arabic language learning of preschool children and be able to improve the existing weaknesses in the preschool education system.

Having a supervisor who can work with students in an ideal way throughout the research process is something that is very helpful to students. PhD students or prospective students and their supervisors are a team. Although the parties who need to conduct research and complete the thesis report writing are the students, supervisors also have responsibilities and interests in the continuation of postgraduate studies. The precise cooperation of students and supervisors can usually be seen in the perfection and completion of an excellent theses. However, students need to first understand what the real role of supervisors so that students and supervisors can work well together. Among the role of the supervisor are to provide effective supervision, act as a mentor and guide and serve as an additional knowledge reference centre. Supervisors should also be able to play the role of advisor and provide guidance to students for more accurate sources of reference. The objective of this study is to discuss the mutual co-operations and it takes two to tango in postgraduate supervision and the responsibilities of both the supervisor and supervisee in creating a positive environment and an effective supervisory process for the effectiveness in the postgraduate studies. The three (3) sample of common issue and case studies in addressing the issues encountered in supervision and the possible solutions to such problems are simulated as an option in creating better solutions and minimizing among the challenges faced. The study found that it takes two of them to tango and play their roles and understand their respective responsibilities for successful postgraduate supervision process.
