JPA STUDENTS ACHIEVE 100% PASS RATE IN MONKASHO EXAM
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 (Bernama) -- Kumpulan Teknikal Jepun (KTJ) 13 is the recent cohort of students from INTEC Education College who have achieved outstanding results with a 100% pass rate in recent Monkasho (Japanese-based) exam. 2022 marks the eight consecutive years for INTEC to maintain the 100% passing rate in Monkasho.
The 34 students were studying the Japanese Preparatory programme, a two-year programme at INTEC preparing the students for Bachelor programmes in Japan. All students are under Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam (JPA) for overseas preparatory programmes (Japan). This group was with INTEC since 2020 and all of them passing successfully, with 7 of them passing with the highest marks.
Scholastica Dumat who is teaching Mathematics in Japanese, shared some of the secret behind the students’ success “it is true that we as lecturers can prepare as much as we could to compensate for their Japanese shortcoming but without their own efforts put in, it will not be as effective or make a big difference”.
Among other lecturers, Nurul Hakimah who teaches Physics in Japanese explained “I gave them additional classes and usually we did some practices. I also re-explain the topics in both English and Japanese to ensure they understand. The classes are done one to one or in a small group, usually once a week”.
Students have received well support both in academic and facilities. Their experience in catching up with the new third language is positive, despite the challenges that they had faced. “Lecturers at INTEC are kind and willing to teach students”, explained Ho See Foong, one of the KTJ 13 students.
Since pandemic Covid-19, the KTJ students were in online mode of learning and just recently comeback to campus for a hybrid mode of class. “When learning a new language, the lecturers are patiently guide us step by step. I feel there is little difference when it comes to learning online or face-to-face, because the lecturers teach well regardless of which mode of teaching,” he continues.
