What I like about studying in International Islamic University Malaysia(IIUM).
My goal in the life is a willingness to study Islamic International University Malaysia My reasons for learning foreign languages is because I would like to understand the different ways of people express themselves. Its also a way to learn how people interact and socialize with each other, and how each society works.

Moreover,IIUM for me learning different languages it can help us to understand how things work and learning languages is much more than making myself able to communicate with others. To me it's like getting some nice new surprise and a whole new level of understanding.

Sometimes learning a foreign language helps us understand our own language and culture better through comparison, or through the relationship between the foreign language and our mother tongue. For instance, learning english taught me an incredible amount of Malay, because Malay has so many words that come from the english. And it might help with my chance in working internationally. Sometimes I can help other countries development to ensure that can entry to ASEAN. However, the education development in ASEAN is necessary to development continuously and seriously to achieve free trade and enhance from the association to ASEAN community.

Although I am not that good in study but I have talented on the other side because my family good in merchant and I have been rising to be a person who understand social life easily that make me have self confidence and courage to express in any activities. The most pride of me is I received several awards from awards at school level until at country level which is very proud of my life. It has been a success, honors and experiences in this life. I believed that these happened when get a chance because I think that even we cannot do but if we

    Understanding other cultures can expand your comprehension of the world and shine light to new perspectives. When I was younger I used to be able to understand and speak Vietnamese as a result it lead to me to become closer to my family. Since Vietnamese is a dominant language in my family, rarely do I get a chance to really talk to anyone in my family. Ever since I lost my second language it feels as if I'm not even apart of my culture.…

    We as English as second language students, frustrate at the beginning due to the lack of communication with others and for instance, most of the time, we feel the impulse to connect with other people that speaks our language. For some of us who came from countries where the Gregorian alphabet is not used, the learning process becomes even harder. Pronunciation or speaking is a challenge too because most of the time we are betrayed by our accent. However, once the English skills start improving due to the acculturating process, we assimilate that there is no going back and we look forward to master our English skills. Learning foreign languages opens our minds to new ways of thinking. While there are some people that learn a language because of interest or they want a challenge, we have to learn in this case English because of a practical need for…

    Steve Fidel once has written, “A person who speaks three languages is trilingual; a person who speaks two languages is bilingual; a person who speaks one language is — American.” In spite of the fact, that English language one of widely widespread in the world, it should not use that as an excuse for native born residents of the United States to avoid studying another language. There is a set of arguments why it is necessary to study foreign languages. Two of them it is cultural aspect and expansion of business opportunities. During studying foreign language people start to understand the culture and history of other nation and their own language and culture much better. Also, studying foreign language helps people to keep their mind opened for new things. Evona York has said that, “Sometimes learning a foreign language helps you understand your own language and culture better through comparison, or through the relationship between the foreign language and your mother tongue. For instance, studying Latin in high school taught me an incredible amount of English, because English has so many words that come from the Latin.” Someone can tell that, it is not important to know language and culture of other country and other nation. However, “globalization removes barriers between people.”(Pieracarla Santucci) If the people want to be successful in this world he or she should speak in several languages. To remain monolingual is to stunt your educational development, to restrict your communication and thinking abilities, and to deny yourself the ability to fully appreciate and understand the world in which you live. Learning another language opens new opportunities and gives you perspectives that you might never have encountered otherwise. Personal, professional, social, and economic considerations all point to the advantages of learning foreign languages.…

    There are three main areas where a student can excel by knowing a second language. The first is mentally. According to Viorica Marian, being bilingual can help a student “to better process information in the environment, leading to a clearer signal for learning,” (“The Cognitive Benefits of Being Bilingual” Marian). Cognitive and sensory processes can improve as well. Because of this, bilingual students have been known to have an easier time accessing newly learned words, giving them a more extensive vocabulary than monolingual students. Not only does knowing a second language help a person cognitively, but also socially. A bilingual person has an easier time connecting with people from other cultures; accordingly, they have a better understanding of culture and how others differ from their own. This is especially important because immigration rates in the United States are growing rapidly. Also, being proficient in a language before interacting with a foreign speaker can help break an initial language barrier, allowing the two people to connect on a deeper level. A third benefit of being multilingual is having a greater advantage career wise. The world is becoming more advanced in technology, allowing for an expansion to foreign countries for a business. This creates a higher demand for multilingual people to translate documents, conduct…
