BRITISH ENGLISH VS AMERICAN ENGLISH

Just something that is useful for you as language users, as there are those of you who are sometime confused with both types..for your information, it is not wrong to use either American or British terms/words & spelling, but it is preferable for us to use British English as our education system follows the British education system. Therefore, it is much preferred to follow the British spelling system when we write. But in terms of vocabulary and language use, both are acceptable.

1st class post!

hello class!

Welcome to my blog, specially created for my English students taking UWB10102 (Academic English) in UTHM. Having problems accessing the e-learning system outside of UTHM and having difficulty with my AUTHOR account, I decided that this is the next best thing in order in terms of method in providing you with any new information/ homework/assignments etc.

As I mentioned in the class, please participate in this blog by leaving comments, ideas or suggestions..if you're the kind who r too shy to ask questions in class..this is the place.

It's better if you become one of the followers of this blog since this will be one of the medium that I will use as we don't have a module for this semester.

hope to hear from u guys soon!

Ms. Hani
