Jesselton College Sabah lecturer Dr. Fung Lan Yong has published a reference book entitled, Academic writing: Essays for analysis. The book comprises four sections, including the process of composition, academic essays for analysis, sample essays by students and checklists. Published by LAP Germany, the book is available on Amazon.com and other online sites.

“Effective academic writing is undoubtedly the key to greater academic achievement and career success. Since most tertiary courses and exams require students to employ the principles of academic writing, ability to elaborate well in writing is essential for demonstrating academic mastery. Similarly, many potential employers prefer candidates who can write well; hence, having effective academic writing skills will make one stand out in the business world, where writing is a neglected skill yet one of the most important to productivity,” elaborated Yong.

Fung has 20 years of experience in teaching academic writing and communication skills at college and university. “The main aim of this book is to provide a systematic way to help improve your academic writing skills. It contains different genres of academic essays and each contains a thesis statement, topic sentences and a conclusion. By analysing the essays, you will learn how to structure an academic essay effectively. This book is a good investment to those who wish to enhance their writing skills for academic and career success,” she added.

“An essay or project should have an introduction that includes a proper thesis statement that states the main idea of the entire paper. Subsequently, each body paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that contains the topic and controlling idea. The topic sentence helps you to state the main idea of the paragraph and use relevant supporting sentences and details to elaborate it. The topic sentence is crucial because it prevents you from writing so-called out of point,” she explained.

“SPM leavers who are enrolled in Jesselton College’s diploma and Bachelor programs must take Academic English according to Malaysian Quality Assurance (MQA). The subject focuses on effective academic writing for research and office correspondence, so it helps prepare graduates to be part of the future workforce,” she concluded.

Originally from Kudat and a Yayasan Sabah study loan recipient, Yong holds a PhD in Special Education (Gifted and Talented Education) from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, USA. She teaches Academic English, Mass Communication and Research Methods at Jesselton College Sabah which holds 4-star MyQuest ratings in various courses. She also chairs the Psychological Society of Jesselton College.

  • College lecturers on ways to improve employability +

    By Fung Lan Yong As the job market becomes increasingly competitive, tertiary students need to improve their employability skills to differentiate themselves from the crowd. Enhancing their employability skills will not only give them an edge in the job search, but also position them for jobs with better prospects. Employability means more than just getting a job; jobseekers must exhibit the skills and mindset to gain, create and maintain work; in short, they must be able to perform effectively to contribute to organisational success. In short, having good employability skills allows individuals to get a job, manage their career and adapt to challenging work situations. Personal qualities, teamwork and communication skills According to Chun How Chin, academic manager at Jesselton College Sabah, tertiary students can improve their employability in several ways. "Jobseekers should possess not only the hard skills gained through academic studies, but also the personal qualities that enhance job performance. Tertiary students can enhance their knowledge and skills by enrolling in continuing education or joining internships, besides finding mentors or joining trade associations for enrichment," he began. Tertiary students must develop self-motivation and initiative tend to have better employability. "Employees are expected to work unsupervised, so they must be able to make responsible decisions independently to obtain positive outcomes. They can show that they have initiative by getting relevant training and work experience. Further, they can undertake roles, placements or courses that encourage them to clearly define task requirements and successfully implement them. Since organisations regard self-motivation and Read More

The book is divided into four sections – the writing process, academic essays for analysis, sample essays and checklists. Published by Lambert Academic Publishing (LAP) Germany, the book is available on eBay and Amazon.com. Each step of the writing process for different genres, including descriptive, cause-effect, compare-contrast and argumentative essay, is thoroughly explained. Yong said in a press release that the significance of academic writing is explained through the book. “Tertiary students should know its value, not only as a course prerequisite but also as a soft skill vital for professional development. Many disciplines, including business and engineering, evaluate students’ academic performance in terms of how logically they reason and how well they write,” she said. She stressed that quality writing goes beyond the classroom. “While it equips tertiary students with the expressive skills that have a positive influence on their academic performance, it is far more importantly a preparation for engagement with the world outside.” The book was also written with working professionals in mind. Dr. Fung Lan Yong (Academic Writing Author) “Since many professionals spend a significant amount of their working hours writing, the ability to write well is crucial to their job performance. In fact, many business managers and engineers write more frequently on the job than English lecturers.” Yong has previously published research articles including Read More
