The Importance of Teaching Mathematics and Science in English (PPSMI)

I Introduction
The whole idea of a good education system is to prepare out children so that they are better prepared to face the challenges of globalisation, liberalisation as well as the fast development in today’s information and communication technologies. What it has done is given our students, from a very young age, a new sense of confidence when using the international language of communication and it given them a good basic grounding from which they can and they should, continue to improve their mastery of a major second language, apart from Bahasa Malaysia.

II Body
A One reason for the importance of PPSMI is as the competitive advantage.
1. To pursue a high standard of English for Malaysia’s children to ensure that their future is secure.

a) It is time that parents step up to the plate and make the future of their children the priority. b) It will help them a great deal in their future pursuit, whatever field they choose to pursue. c) If the government doesn 't find a way to improve our poor English in school, we will be nowhere when countries like China catch up. Like it or not, we need to master English. (2011). Retrieved December 15, 2011, from http://malaysiakini.com/news/180639

    Today, English has become a means of communication that reflects the culture, expressions and emotions of its Malaysian speakers. It continues to be used for many purposes in this country: art, play, business and so on. However, in many instances, these activities do not require the same words and grammar as some of the other English Language activities do, thus leading some language purists to label such language use as sub standard.

    Why English in Malaysia?

    • 967 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Following the extensive influence by the British Empire in the 18th century, the English language has been widely propagated throughout many nations. Eventually, it became one of the international languages of the world and is used by most nations to communicate and understand each other. Our command of English as Malaysians has seen a vast improvement throughout the years. We Malaysians are quite extraordinary. From speaking in broken English, we have learnt the proper usage of English. Later on, we even created a whole new language- Malaysian English or more commonly known as Manglish. English arrived in Malaysia back when the British colonised this country. All the local authorities at that time, including the rulers and ministers had to learn the language, in order to gain a foothold in the administration of the country. Independence fighters, such as Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun H. S. Lee and Tun Abdul Razak Hussein used their knowledge of English to negotiate with the British in order to gain Malaysia’s long-awaited independence. Their efforts and dedication paid off when the British agreed to let go of their hold on our country. Without the fighters’ strong grasp of English, our country will not be able to be free from colonisation, and we as the citizens will not be able to stand proud on our own land.…

    Education in Malaysia has undergone many changes throughout the years, from the Razak Report in 1956, and recently in 2009, our Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak came out with the idea of fostering unity and prosperity among different cultures through the concept of 1Malaysia. The 1Malaysia concept emphasises on the importance of every race and their roles and contributions in national growth (Hamdan and Mohamad, 2011). Thus, it is important to inculcate unity and harmony to promote racial integration and close relationship and teachers should play their role to achieve the objective (BERNAMA, 2010). To examine how the concept of 1Malaysia could be inculcated in a language learning programme, this essay will discuss thoroughly on the designed programme with the applied philosophies, learning approaches and strategies that incorporated together with the 1Malaysia concept. Examples of activities from the programme will be provided to show the link between 1Malaysia concept and the teaching and learning approaches.…
