English Language education in Malaysia is again in the focus of attention. It is a good thing that there is a great concern for Malaysians to be proficient in English. But lately it sent an alarm bells to a group of primary school teacher that they are going to teach English Literature as a single paper. The main concern is that we are still strugling in teaching Mathematics and Science in English yet this a new component is coming through. There is still unsure about any findings made by researchers from university academics on the implementation of the literature component in classroom teaching in both primary and secondary school levels.
However there have been some piecemeal researches done by graduate students which sees to suggest that teachers generally feel less threatened to teach literature now and preparing students based on the present exam format.
There have been complaints that our students are being overburdened at school. Do they need yet another subject?
I dont't think so.
