Tamhidi Centre has been using online tools for learning in past years. The atmosphere of virtual world that is connected online has influenced academia in teaching and learning sessions. Before the Movement Control Order (MCO), blended learning has been carried out for all subjects taught in Tamhidi using Global Open Access Learning System (GOALS) as learning management system provided by USIM. Due to the pandemic outbreak, Tamhidi Centre has faced a challenging time because the semester is already at the final semester for the cohort 2019/2020. During the MCO 1.0, while students were at home, classes were conducted fully online. The final exams was also done online via GOALS. Then, coming the next cohort, for the first time in history, orientation was held online, and students came to campus in an arranged time within the period of seven days. Without having new staff intake, the grouping of students now is increased from 25 students per group to 45 students. Initially, classes are conducted online, both synchronous and asynchronously. All students are involved in this kind of approach, but for science stream students; biology, physics dan chemistry experiments still need to do face to face sessions in the laboratory. This paper will document the experience of several Tamhidi in using online tools before the MCO, during MCO, and after the MCO 1.0 days are over.

Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) mandates that all its students acquire proficiency in speaking Arabic. It is covered in the curriculum and module on developing fluent Arabic communication skills. This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of Arabic language teaching platforms that could be used to improve Arabic skills.

It will have a significant impact on students, lecturers, the Tamhidi Centre, and USIM as whole because it adds value to strengthening speaking skills among Tamhidi Centre students and USIM.
