| Summary: | The research is a comparative study of the English language performance among Islamic
studies or Education students in the Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human
Science (KIRKHS) and the Institute of Education (INSTED). The main aim of the research is
to observe how the undergraduate students perform in the English language and to examine the
standard of English language performance for both kulliyahs. The respondents of this study were
taken from the Kulliyyah of IRKHS and the INSTED, both at the IIUM (International Islamic
University of Malaysia). According to the figures obtained from the Centre for Languages and
Pre-university Academic Development (CELPAD) of the IIUM, it was revealed that many
of Islamic studies students were dubbed poor performers in English language. Evidently, the
average scores for English language courses were C plus and C as shown by the statistics from
CELPAD. The result of study shows that the majority of the respondents considered themselves
as competent in terms of English language as compared to other languages, and they indicated
that their English competence was mostly sufficient for their academic activities. And finally, the
respondents indicated that they would like to improve their English language competence.
Key words: Comparative study, English language performance, Islamic studies or Education
students, poor performers, and to improve their English language competence. |
