BIOGRAPHY

Dr Norfaizal holds a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the field of Malay language teaching and learning. He has extensive experience in the field of teaching and learning Malay as a second language or foreign language. His career began in 2011 at the University of Malaya's Centre for Continuing Studies.
