New year 2011 has just stareted and now it's already end of January. It has been long time i do not write new post on my blog. Lots of new issues regarding education matters including English subject matters arises in the country especially pertaining the transformation of curriculum, teachers and other issues.
One thing that really attracted me is the serious move of our government to enhance and upgrade the language proficiency of Malaysia students by spending lots of money to ensure this intention is a success. By introducing the new curriculum for primary level which is KSSR , the government with full expectation to see the curriculum will be much more effective and benefited the students.
As an English educator at private sector, I am not fully involved in all the transformation initiated by the government but how much I wish I could contribute in line with the government moves to assist students in upgrading the language proficiency.
It's of everybody's hope to see the initiative done by government and all parties involve in the implementation will bloom with success and able to reach objectives.
Somehow rather I'm a bit awkward to see some private institutions do not take serious on the effort taken by government concerning english language matters. They hesitately give support and encouragement to any english language enriching activities done by students and lecturers. Worst of all, these private sectors just prioritize on business matters and money profit as they charge extremely high fees for English lesson but fail to provide condusive environment and relevant activities to help students to master better English. If there are efforts from lecturers or students to hold programmes and activities for this purpose , the efforts are not at all supported and appreciated for they think those are unimportant and irrelevant for not contributing anything in generating income.
This kind of mindset really sickening and torturing me as an English Educator who eagerly and ambitiously willing to offer a helping hand for the betterment of English language mastery among students in Malaysia.
I do pray all the initiaves taken by the government and all the parties who involve in the implementation will be blessed and will one day smile endlessly for the sweetness of the success.
Bravo and Good Luck To All of You...
