FACTOR ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH COMMUNICATION COMPETENCY AMONG MALAYSIAN TECHNOLOG...IAEME Publication
This paper aimed to determine factors influencing English communication
competency among Malaysian university undergraduates from technology
departments at Universiti Tun Hussain Onn Malaysia (UTHM). A survey was
administered to a random sample of 102 undergraduates. Factor analysis was applied
to determine the underlying dimensions that influence English competency among the
students. The findings revealed four critical factors: mother tongue interference, lack
of confidence, lack of practice, and home environment. Thus, students need to be
encouraged to communicate in English at the university and home to provide wider
language practice opportunities to master communication skills in English and
perform well in the technology courses.
Joaquin Pe Fagundo is telling about the Technology Transfer Impact. Joaquin Fagundo is an Information technology professional and he is so bright in software development and testing stuff.
The IEEE GLOBECOM 2014 Conference is one of the IEEE Communications Society's two flagship conferences. Each year, over 3,000 scientific researchers and their management submit proposals for program sessions to be held at a GLOBECOM Conference. After extensive peer review, the best of the proposals are selected for the conference program, which includes technical papers, tutorials, workshops and industry sessions.
Major components of the conference program include: keynote speakers (representing the elite of the Communications industry), technical papers sessions, workshops, tutorials, an award's luncheon and a world class banquet with entertainment. IEEE GLOBECOM 2014 will also place major emphasis on the real-world interests of industry practitioners.
It is with great pleasure that the Austin technical and business community was chosen to host this prestigious Conference. As communications technology professionals, engineers and practitioners around the world know, Austin, Texas is known as "Silicon Valley."
We offer many levels of patronage and opportunities to exhibit. After all, EVERYONE knows that Patronage Means Leadership and Reputation. There will be special industry events and opportunities to meet and recruit young engineers. This will include a GOLD (IEEE Graduates of the Last Decade) Session, and other professional and career events which will be publicized in the Advance Program.
Being a Patron presents your company to not only local audiences but also to those involved in world wide communications technology engineering and management. We expect up to 2,000 participants, technical researchers and industry practitioners from the USA and many other countries of the world to include Japan, China, India, Canada, England, France, Germany, Korea and many others.
