Comment on the findings in relation to language learning in Malaysia
Based on the findings of the research, it can be said that a huge percentage of the students would want the forum to be one part of their courses curriculum. This is because they can express their thoughts and feeling in depth as regard to the posted topic without restrictions and limitations. Moreover, by grading the students for participating in the forums is one way of constructing motivation for them to gain more knowledge and acquire more skill that they cannot get within a fortnight. A large percentage of the students agree that by participating in the forums they are actually improving their English and writing skills.
Hence, this forum culture that is being experimented in Tel Aviv University should also be implemented here in Malaysia. This is because the findings are showing good responses from the students that this forum participation helps them a lot. Malaysia is a developing country in which one of the developing field is in the Multimedia Super Corridor(MSC). This MSC is built in order to make Malaysia as the best port for information and technology in this region. Therefore it is such a shame if we were not using the facilities that lay before our eyes. It is a rare or almost no where to be found university students discussing serious matter i.e their curriculum on the internet in a specific place. Most of them are using internet as a means of communication with their college mates, old friends and not to forget getting new acquaintance. In addition, internet is used to search for articles, information and ideas for them to finish their homework and assignments. Well, by making forum participation compulsory on them, will burden them even more with the already prepared work load. But, an achievement is attained through numerous obstacles and hurdles. If we want to be the best, we need to work our heart out. Consequently, forum as a new add-on to the courses curriculum is a brilliant idea in order to help the students to obtain more knowledge and skill that they will probably need for the future.
