Teach English As A Language

Teach English As A Language
Borhan Md Zain of Gapena says literature is important

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Federation of National Writers` Associations of Malaysia (Gapena) supports the teaching of English as a language in schools so long as this is not done at the expense of Bahasa Malaysia.

Gapena representative Borhan Md Zain said the government should make subjects such as Malay Literature and English Literature core subjects to improve students` grasp of both languages.

"To master any language, the learning of literature is important as it complements the other aspects such as grammar and communication.

"The government should introduce effective teaching methods without making English a medium of instruction in the teaching of Mathematics and Science," he said.
