One of the learning problems encountered by Arabic language learners is the reading problem of identifying meaning of unfamiliar words. Therefore, this study aims to investigate types of word meaning inferencing employed by Arabic language learners at both levels: beginner and advanced. It also explores the extent of their success in inferencing as well as identifies differences between beginner and advanced students in inferencing meaning from context. Ten university students from both levels participated in this qualitative study by performing reading tasks on selected Arabic texts. Data were gathered through think-aloud protocols and retrospective interviews. Findings reveal that most of the students tended to use sentence level inference compared to word and discourse levels for text comprehension. Meanwhile, translation is the most preferred linguistic source to infer word meaning from context. The study also reveals that most of the subjects succeeded in inferencing target words effectively. For differences between the two levels, advanced students used world knowledge more frequently compared to the beginners who were more prone to using sentence meaning and syntagmatic relation.

The aim of this project is to implement the industrial engineering tools in selected manufacturing company to identify the process capability at the company production lines and to improve the quality of the product of company. The chosen company is B.I Technology Sdn. Bhd. and the product being analyzed is molded inductor. The capability data were obtained from B.I Technology and further analysis on the data was done manually and by using MINITAB software. The process of understanding the control and the capability (PUCC) is an iterative closed loop process for continuous improvement. It covers the DMAIC toolkit in the three phases. PUCC is an iterative approach that rotates between the three pillars of the process of understanding, process control, and process capability. The objective of the six sigma study of Molded Inductance is to achieve perfection molded manufacturing by reviewing the present robust manufacturing process, to find out way to improve and modify the process, which will yield molded inductance that are defect free and will give more customer satisfaction. The application of six sigma led to an improved process capability. At the end of this project the result is the Cpk had being improved from 0.84 to 1.75.
