Abstract
In today’s flexible learning and virtual space environments, the way forward for leading change has witnessed a shift towards inquiry-based instruction, active learning and formative assessment. This has also been well articulated by the many initiatives from the Malaysian Ministry of Education through the launch of two national education blueprints. As the nation journeys into 21st century, practitioners in Malaysia are taking incremental steps in shifting from teacher-centred to student-centred learning environments in a bid to prepare millennials for the keen competitive markets of tomorrow. Such a move, warrants a critical and timely move towards the adoption of a more comprehensive and effective
structure of curriculum which focuses on inquiry-based instruction and active learning approaches that are able to provide on-going constructive feedback via formative assessment that can positively affect learners and their learning experience. This paper discusses two main issues. First, it deliberates inquiry-based instruction, active learning and formative assessment. Then it discusses the nexus of relationship among the variables with evidence of empirical studies and concludes with some recommendations for
both universities and educational practitioners alike to enhance teaching and learning experience in their
respective classrooms.

Topic: Foregrounding endangered languages: Engaging in change
through language research
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ0wCGKO6Cc

Abstract
It is estimated that almost 80% of languages in Malaysia are considered to be under threat. These include indigenous languages and creoles. Whilst there has been considerable research on Malaysia languages, including endangered languages, the main output tends to be in the form of academic publications. Given the importance of language for (i) communication; (ii) creating a sense of identity; (iii) information and knowledge transfer; and (iv) promoting sustainable development, how can language researchers make a difference where endangered languages are concerned? This is the main question that will be addressed in this talk, which will look at ways in which language researchers can foreground endangered languages.
This could be through creating awareness of the existences of these languages and reducing negative or stereotypical views to developing creative opportunities to use and learn a language.
