welcome to EPC
Sunday, July 15, 2012glad to hear that some of my asasi tesl lendu juniors received the offer for EPC course in UiTM Shah Alam. i hope that they will come here mentally and physically ready. truth be told that English for Professional Communication is a fun course, but bear in mind the workload is not funny. hahaha! reminiscing my semester 1 and semester 2 hard times, i swear to god i really want to stop procrastinating from now on. and i really hope i will not find it very difficult during semester 3 ahead. and please, i want to go to all Dean's List dinner till my last semester, you know what i mean ^_^ i don't want the DL dinner i went to last June to be the only one, hehe.. oh yes, i want all my classmates to be crowned with DL award, i want the dinner hall to be full of group A students, i love them all, no matter what :)

ReplyDeletei dunno what to say :P
ReplyDeleteDoes EPC only been offered in Uitm?
ReplyDeleteyes, so far only in uitm :)
ReplyDeletehai i just wanna ask you for some tips to get dean list in language faculty.
ReplyDeletei used to be a tesl student in lendu and my lecturer always told us that dean list from the
language faculty is quite rare.
so you must be a precious gem then .
hope for a reply (really needs some)
hi there :) i think you misheard your lecturer. she might've said "four flat student is rare in the language faculty" and not Dean's List. everyone can get a DL coz it requires the 3.50 above pointer, which anyone can get provided they score well in the assignments and exams :) just do as instructed by your lecturer, go see them if you're unsure about your work and insyaAllah you'll score well. good luck!
DeleteHello. I have just been offered to EPC in Uitm Shah Alam. Quite nervous abt this. May I know a little sneek peak of how the course is going on so far for you?
ReplyDeletehi, congratulations! well i have graduated 2+ years ago and i cant say if everything is still the same. based on what i see at EPC's website, it's quite different now in terms of the course structure. you can check it out at the faculty's website and maybe drop me an email (trisy7@gmail.com) with specific questions that you need answers and i will try my best within my capabilities to help you :)
DeleteHi there.Im taking my foundation in TESL in UiTM Dengkil but for my degree im not sure whether to choose tesl / epc. Can elaborate and differentiate on these two course 😦
ReplyDeletehi. TESL prepares you to become a teacher, full stop. everything english and education sahaja. 4 years, kena praktikal mengajar kat sekolah kerajaan (it's a free labour, no allowance and u need to belanja 100% for the teaching stuff, transport and makan minum using your own money) for 1 semester. kerja? cikgu lah (high school). if you're really passionate about teaching je i advise u ambil tesl. if you arent interested at all to be an educator, then dont. do the nation a favour and jangan jadi cikgu sebab terpaksa coz it will affect your motivation at work and later kesian students dapat cikgu yg mengajar x sepenuh hati :( anyway TESL grads boleh je kerja lain ikut suka u lah nak apply mana2 company yang boleh apply.
DeleteEPC - english, some multimedia sheez, professional communication, and there will be a minor either in business or tourism. check it out at EPC's page on APB UITM website, they have all the courses explained. EPC course is only for 3 years, semester 5 ada praktikal (cari sendiri mana u nak apply, ada allowance from the employer). lepas grad u boleh kerja mana2 je asalkan the employer thinks that you can do it. any possible industry u boleh masuk if they dont require sciences degree. cannot jadi cikgu sekolah kerajaan unless u pergi buat KPLI. can become a teacher at sekolah swasta if you pass their interview. jadi lecturer kolej swasta pun boleh kalau diorg nak hire a degree holder to teach foundation or diploma students (most probably on contract basis sebab tak ada master).
Hi there! I took asasi tesl after spm and now im off to degree this september in shaa allah. Unfortunately im still unsure about what to take bcs im interested in both epc and communication (from upm). Can you pls explain to me their differences or elaborate both of them pleaseee ☹💓
ReplyDeleteHi there, sorry for the super late reply. I cant help u with any explanation because I dont know what is that comm degree from UPM that u mentioned above. As for EPC, the course explanation can be found at APB's website. Reason why I'm not explaining it here is because I graduated in 2014 and things were different during my time. Today is 2017 and the entire course have been restructured so what I went through is not the same anymore with what's being practised now.
Deletehi assalamualaikum, im from matriculation and i nakkk sangat sangat this course for my degree. can i know your qualifications dulu ?
ReplyDeletehi, wsalam. CGPA kena 3.0 keatas, MUET must be Band 4-6 only. my qualification was above average :)
DeleteThank you for commenting, I'll reply as soon as possible!
