ENGLISH CAMP
CONCEPT PAPER
2007
INTRODUCTION
English has been taught and used in our school ever since education came into our country. It was once used as medium of
instruction in every school until our independence. When the government of the day formulated the National Education Policy,
English was reduced to being taught as a language. Thus we see steady decline in quality and quantity of usage of English,
spoken and in written form, throughout the nation except maybe in some isolated cases.
As the government of the day, saw the importance of English language in our borderless world, English made a come back in the
form of English for Teaching of Mathematics and Science (ETeMS) amidst concerns of various parties. Thus again the school
systems throughout the nation took up the challenges of executing the nations Education Policy.
In school, teachers and students alike made their best effort to adapt to the new challenges. Despite many shortcomings, as years
gone by, their sacrifices paid off quite well; considered well-done for schools in rural environment as judged by their
performances in the past UPSR records. The achievements may not be much to be lauded about but it is proofs that our school
system is adapting well. Hence, further effort by all parties concern is much sought after to facilitate the teaching and learning of
English.
