The 'Intervarsity Language Match 2023' marked a collaborative effort by the English Language Club of UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang (UiTMCPP), together with Akademi Pengajian Bahasa (APB UiTMCPP) and Universiti Kuala Lumpur – Malaysian Spanish Institute (UniKL MSI). Themed 'English Unites Us,' this lively competition fostered student creativity and talent, showcasing linguistic prowess from both institutions. Simultaneously, it aimed to forge connections among students and educators, fortifying the bond between APB UiTMCPP and UniKL MSI. Students from both universities were given
the opportunity to participate in three competitions, namely:

In the Intervarsity Scrabble Championship, 32 participants (16 from UiTMCPP and 16 from UniKL MSI) engaged in a knockout-style Scrabble contest. The top two winners from each round advanced to face new opponents, starting within their university cohorts. As rounds progressed, the numbers decreased, culminating in a showdown between the finest two Scrabble players from UiTMCPP and UniKL MSI for the championship title.
For the Reimagined Tales: The Story Remix Challenge, participants ingeniously fused two popular stories into one, demonstrating their adaptability and creativity. They could modify characters and plots, introducing a fresh and unexpected twist while focusing on uplifting themes of resilience, hope, and determination to spread positivity.
In the Motivational Serenade, individuals or pairs modified well-known songs by rewriting lyrics with motivational themes, aiming to spread optimism. This creative endeavour not only showcased talent but also provided a platform to inspire and spread positive vibes among both participants and the audience.
On 30th November 2023, UiTMCPP hosted the Reimagined Tales and Motivational Serenade competitions at Laman Perdana. UniKL MSI's team arrived around 8:45 a.m., led by their respected lecturer, Mr. Fazrul Azmi Zulkifli. The panel of judges included lecturers from both UiTMCPP and UniKL MSI. The event wrapped up with a closing ceremony around 11:30 a.m., featuring a closing speech by Mr. Muhammad Aiman Abdul Halim, an advisor from the English Club, and a prize-giving ceremony led by Dr. Norhaslinda Hassan. The memorable event concluded with a stunning performance by the winner of the singing competition and a delightful photo session.
In essence, this event was a fantastic opportunity to unearth the students' creativity. It fostered meaningful interaction between UiTM and UniKL MSI students, laying the groundwork for potential future collaborations. Following the event, participants are enthusiastic about engaging in more competitions, feeling more self-assured in their abilities. Moreover, the lecturers from both universities established strong connections, paving the way for promising collaborative endeavours ahead.
