Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) gained prominence as an alternative teaching and learning platform for many educators embarking on developing university courses online. In Malaysia, the initiative at lower secondary school was quite recent and not many teachers were willing to invest the time and effort to develop the MOOC courses. This study examined the secondary school gifted students’ experience in learning a language subject using a new online course in a MOOC platform. All students from the lower secondary levels of a gifted education institution enrolled in the English subject MOOC and their engagements and experiences were recorded in their journal and classroom discussions. Their text and verbal responses were analysed and reported to better understand the various issues and challenges that they had encountered. Students accredited certain positive aspects of MOOC and they found it to be useful, flexible and engaging. More than 80 per cent relished the social meeting elements such as like, comment and share. The contents and activities helped them learn and practise the English language. The study outcomes disclosed the use of MOOC as a social learning platform that offers engaging learning. The online teaching and learning process could benefit from the social media features found in MOOC which are motivating to the gifted students. For educators, this platform offers useful alternatives and strategies to develop their teaching contents online and utilise it as an enrichment programme in the gifted and talented education institution.

This study aims to evaluate Takarir as the product of the research development reviewed from the look and the results of its translation. This is a qualitative descriptive type of research. Data are obtained from students of German learners who understand translation theory and have the skills of the German language at least B1 level standards the common European framework of reference for languages (CEFR). Takarir is an application of a web-based translation machine and supports 44 input languages and dialects. Takarir is built with Macromedia Dreamweaver software. Respondents followed the seminars in German and Bahasa Indonesia, activated the Takarir as a translator, and observed its translation results. The analysis results show that the Takarir can translate speech to text from Bahasa Indonesia to German and vice versa with several errors. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that Takarir takes advantage of the new technology, inspires to learn, and supports bi/-multilingualism activities.

Applied linguists have divergent views on the interaction between literature and language instruction. Language through a literary lens logically validates the position of literature in the acquisition of language skills by exposing students to a variety of writing types and authoritative sources. Syllabi built around language structures cannot be adequate to ensure that students acquire language skills. In comparison, an authentic curriculum centered around novels and short stories encourages students to study the language and fosters critical reasoning and language skills. In this vein, this research seeks to ascertain undergraduates' perceptions of the function of novel teaching in improving writing abilities by the use of a survey in which students expressed their perspectives on the areas in which novel teaching aided their writing ability development. The students' answers were analyzed, and a one-sample t-test showed that they concluded that novel instruction had a beneficial impact on their sentence and paragraph writing skills. Based on these observations, the author recommended incorporating novels into undergraduate English courses through the use of successful teaching approaches and the collection of novels suitable for students' linguistic abilities.
