SHTCA International Language Week-Closing Ceremony 2011

It is the year 2011. This time around, the SHTCA International Language Week is still going strong after years of  organizing this annual event. Language is a very important tool to communicate with different people from all around the globe. We can make more friends, understand them better, and even hanging out with them. Besides that, learning other languages can also bring us to go further in other countries, be it in career or travelling. The Language Week closing ceremony took place at KDU Damansara Jaya Campus, Auditorium on 13th October 2011, organized by the School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Arts (SHTCA).

Ms. Kitty Lee (Head of School, SHTCA) gave a very interesting and insightful speech.

"It is very heart warming to see the International Language week enjoy another year of success as we come to participate in today's closing ceremony. It is a challenge to students and lecturers to give time and effort to make this event enjoyable to all, especially the students. Congratulations! We fully recognize your dedication and enthusiasm in promoting the wider use of the importance of languages like French, German and the International language, English. Do accept our sincere thanks for your efforts in making the learning of these languages fun and interesting."

She also added, "KDU University College emphasizes on graduating a wholesome student which definitely includes proficiency in command of the English Language and a second language of either French or German. This makes our graduates bilingual and multilingual, thus, assisting them in securing global employment in the hospitality industry. As I conclude, I urge all students to continue speaking the foreign language that they have acquired . A wise man once said, "If you want to learn a language, just speak it. Yes! Just speak." Do not worry about mistakes and you will soon improve. I would like to announce that, SHTCA, established in 1987, will be celebrating it's silver jubilee, 25 years in 2012."

KDU University College recently organized a special Open Day, focusing on KDU's flow-through programmes. Besides that, students and participants also had the chance to speak to programme counsellors and lecturers as well as entertained themselves with some visual games, entertainment, and a whole lot more at the discovery stations.

Students demonstrating on "Mixology". Mixology also defines the study of preparing mixed drinks like cocktails and mocktails.

An expert, Mr.Sebastian Le Francois (Sommelier & Wine Consultant) of Le Gourmet & Fitou Restaurant, also KDU's part time lecturer teaching beverage studies, demonstrated on the art of "Oenology". Sounds complicating? Oenology also means the study of wines like wine-making, vine-growing, grape-harvesting and a whole lot more to it. Everything and anything to do with wines.

Preparing for the ACCA Exams

By: Jack Chew Jian Hua

As a student pursuing an ACCA qualification, it is assumed that we are capable to handle exams well, and all we need to do is to be prepared. However, exam preparation can be tiring. Hence, I would like to share about my ACCA exam preparation and perhaps, to shed some light on how to excel. These are some of the critical success factors:

Time Management

• Have good time management; plan a study timetable with a Things-To-Do list for the week.
• Abide by the time table to achieve your goal. Be responsible as a student if you are determined to pass the exam.

Revision

• Revise, using past year ACCA exam papers.
• Be diligent in attempting all the practice exercises given by the lecturers, including the past year exam questions. Practice helps you to anticipate the type of questions and hence, you can find out how to answer them better. Also, having a better understanding of the exam structure will enable you to manage your time during the exam, which is crucial if you do not wish to miss out answering some questions.

Attempt All Questions

• It is advisable to answer every single question in the exam because you could be correct and gain marks. You never know when that one mark could land you in the “Pass” or a “Fail” category.

Take care of your Health

• Last but not least, please take care of your health so that you don’t fall ill during the exam period.
• On the day of your exam, just relax! Bear in mind that nervousness and anxiety may contribute to carelessness.

Believe in Yourself

• If you don’t believe in yourself, who will?
• Do not quit if you fail any of the papers. You must be persevering and take failure as a learning process.

Your effort and hard work will pay off handsomely once you pass the exams. I wish you good luck!

My Study Tips for ACCA

By: Nahela

There is no worthy cause without a struggle.

Throughout my period of study for the ACCA Professional Qualification, there have been many sacrifices, be they small or big. These sacrifices have enabled me to make it thus far to graduation. During my period of study, I have always tried to benchmark myself against that one outstanding classmate whom I have always envied. To outclass that top performer would drive and push me beyond my limits so much so that I would be able to out-perform my own expectations.

I would say that setting my priorities right, and placing my education over most of the other sweet pleasures of life, have brought me to where I am today. I have always told myself, when I have finished what I’ve set myself to achieve, I can have the whole life time to enjoy other pleasures. To quote most of my lecturers, “High Risk High Return, No Pain No Gain.”

An undeviating and tenacious devotion to study is another tip to achieve distinctions and remember: Never Study Last Minute. I have made it my habit to study a mere hour each day, during which, it has become my second nature to write short notes that I would carry around in my pocket. This was a good and constant source of reference and revision notes until the last countdown to enter the examination hall.

A word of advice to my friends who are re-sitting examinations: Never Give Up. Engage in a study group now and then. Pose questions to each other from every chapter of the syllabus. Do a three-hour time test with your buddies. Most of all, take care of your health. This is precisely what I did for the June 2011 exams.
Every failure I encountered has made me stronger, more focused, and more resolute to succeed. There is nothing wrong in failing as it means picking ourselves up again, and rising to success.

My best wishes to the first-timers, and all who are doing re-sit exams in this coming December examination. As the idiom goes, ”Break A Leg!”

The ACCA Journey – A Positive Experience

By Reuben Tatenda Dunduru

Having spent two years of my life at KDU University College, I am confident to say that it has been a wonderful experience. KDU offers the great learning facilities which make the learning process enjoyable.

The ACCA, being a Professional Accountancy programme for those aspiring to become Chartered Accountants, is certainly not a stroll in the park. However, with the team of enthusiastic lecturers and supportive staff at the Professional Accountancy Centre, the load does become lighter.

I would boldly recommend prospective ACCA students to consider KDU for their studies, hoping that my positive experience could be theirs too.

MAS Cabin Crew Members' German Language Graduation

Malaysia Airlines System, an official 5-star airline, and one that has won numerous awards for cabin staff service, never ceases to exceed her customers' expectations. Besides delighting customers with excellent service, the cabin crew has taken one step further - to communicate better in many other languages, which includes French, German and Spanish. KDU University College has provided this linguistic training to MAS, and as Ms Kitty Lee, the Head of KDU's School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culinary Arts, said, "KDU wants to ensure that MAS gives the best service too in her endeavour to train the cabin crew to be multi-lingual. We're proud to support them in this training."

Ms Kitty Lee presented the certificates to graduates

So, at the recent graduation held at the Malaysia Airlines Academy at Kelana Jaya, the 24 cabin crew members gave their native-speaking trainers a standing ovation as a gesture of their appreciation. Ms Janina Brill and Ms Raja Schupp were both thrilled and proud of their students, who took turns to recite a German poem.

Confidently reciting a few lines of a poem in German

(Above) Members of the cabin crew gave a standing ovation to trainers (below)
Ms Raja Schupp (left) and Ms Janina Brill

For a 120-hour course at elementary level, it was amazing to hear Andrew Nari and Norazima Othman deliver their speech of thanks, which was done very smoothly and confidently. They thanked their trainers who have been most patient with them. As Andrew said, "When we first started, we found learning numbers very confusing, but after learning about modifying verbs, we persisted, and we prevailed. Our goal was to better ourselves, not competing with each other."

A short speech by Andrew Nari (left) and Norazima Othman

Encik Md Hassan Adan, the CCLOPS Controller in his opening speech said, "There will be a lot of expectations, but remember that learning a language cannot be done over a short period of time. To master the language, you need to speak the language and communicate freely. Support will be given to you to advance to the next level, and feedback from inflight passengers will be shared with you."

Opening speech by CCLOPS Controller, Encik Md Hassan Adan

Ms Kitty Lee also encouraged them highly. She said, "Today's graduation is a testament of your drive and determination. We would love to hear the inflight cabin crew speak German during their flight from Zurich to Frankfurt and also , especially when KDU students and staff fly from KL to Frankfurt-Zurich, as we send our students twice a year to Switzerland, taking up 260 seats per year. Everyone can learn together as KDU students are also learning to speak German, besides French."

What's the advice from Ms Brill and Ms Schupp? "Motivation is the key to learning. It's very encouraging to know that you've progressed so well, and that you can now apply a wide range of vocabulary in your conversations. Continue to speak German, and we hope to see you at the intermediate level!"
