English Should Be Made as the Medium of Instruction of Scool in Mlaysia
Good morning to Pn.Kalairani and my fellow classmates. I would like to say thank you to teacher who give me the chance to speak here. Due to our Minister of education, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin decided to make Bahasa Melayu as the medium of instruction in science and mathematic in secondary school before, a heated debate in the newspapers with regard to this apparent turn around in the policy had immediately sparked off. Thus,
I would like to support the side where English should be made as the medium of instruction in school. There are some reasons to support my view. First of all, mastering English help us to face the problem of globalization. Nowadays, we need to compete with the people around the world due to the widespread of internet. All the commercial activities are carried out by using the internet and normally English act as the medium for communicate. These shown that we can’t follow the development of the world without improving our English language. For example, the Minister Mentor of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew states that SHANG HAI have the potential to be the biggest financial city in the world. However, it needs the support of all the world top financier, lawyer and accountant to make it the biggest financial centre instead of HONG KONG. Thus, SHANG HAI needs a group people who had mastered in English. So that it can contribute an English environment to combine with other financial centre and appeal all these professional people. The English language is important because this language will bring over the complete legal system, account system and the financial system that is needed for listed company. That is why HONG KONG still has the advantage when compare to SHANG HAI. Thus, English should be made the medium of instruction in school to improve the English standard of people so that we can compete with the other country in the world. Second, English is the international languages which act as the bridge for us to communicate with the world. It

    Nowadays, all people say that English is the most essential and easiest language that people could use to communicate in different countries. As I read thoroughly the two articles, which are called “ English seen as a Co-star among Global Language” and “Can English be Dethroned”, I’ve found out that people more commonly accept using English as a second language in the 21st century. We all understand the fact that English has been growing in popularity largely as economic globalization is getting bigger. The benefits of English as a common language for communication and interaction far outweigh any possible disadvantages that it might have. English is a global language not because the world shows respect to it by accepting it as a global language because it has the characteristics of a global language.…

    English is one of the most important languages in the world. It can even be regarded as the single most important language. Though other languages are important too, they are not the same as the English language is. English is important because it is probably the only language that truly links the whole world together. If not for English, the whole world may not be as united as it is today. The other languages may be important for their local values and culture.Considering the actual number of individuals using English as their first language, it is principally the official language of the world.…

    One way is to make English language a compulsory subject. In my school just as Mathematics, Science and other social subjects are taught English should also be introduced as proper course. All students from their very early education will be introduced to English. All students would be required to pass the English course before they can be promoted to the next grade. For example a grade one who is not able to pass grade one English course will not be promoted to grade 2. Similarly grade two student will not be promoted to grade three until he has passed the English course. The level of complexity and difficulty of English would be increased slowly and gradually each year so that when a student finishes his primary education he is able to read, write, and understand the Basic English. Communication and skills or could be improved by encouraging students to speak in English when in school rather than native language. The second way would be to teach all the subjects in English from the beginning instead of the local language. In Thailand currently all the subjects we mostly taught in the local language so that the students can grasp the ideas more quickly and easily. As a results the students became used to study everything in local language rather than English. If all the subjects are taught in English the students will learn the language more quickly and they will also be comfortable in using in the language later in their educational life when they study more advanced subjects in English. In short all schools should be made strictly English medium. From the two suggestions that I have made I think the second one will be more effective and feasible. I say that because if all the subjects we taught in English then it would be easy for students to adapt the language. If on the others hand there is only one cause of English language and the rest of the subjects we taught in local language then the students will not…
