Mastering The English Language


I am concern about the government educational policy. Especially the never ending issue on how to improve the English usage among Malaysian. In order to produce a well knowledge citizens we should emphasize on educating the early generation with the appropriate input. The science and Mathematics subjects again will be taught in Malay Language (in 3 years time). I believe in government school because I am the product of government school. How to make the youngsters mastering the English?
It's going to be one hell of an issue judging from the array of information channel that they are exposed into these day. SMS languages won't be a much help...with all those boombastic word and short term. Whilst, the kids are exposing to this kind of technology as early as they can talk. Internet can help..a lot! if ...of course with the right information..but kids are more interested in other things once log-on.....maybe it's help in writing and reading the English ..but how about spoken English...will they be much help.
For the urban family it is normal nowadays to see an English speaking family due to the educational level of the parents whereas...the other part of the country, the one that are the main concern now...how to improve English among those in the rural area..
I can also see the race to become the trendiest family in town among the socialite.... to have the best of everything in order to be look as the top one in the social status hierarchy. It is healthy?
The race to find the best education for their kids...with the tuition centre...the top-end private schools...the best that money can buy.. Are we so obsessed? Terrifying indeed... I just make do with what the government has to offer.....
After all...learning is the process of life.. we all are part of the learning session..there's no one man-show..the school not 100% in responsible to the child development, there more parties involve..the family, the society, the environment, lifestyle.....these are the factors that going to shape the child... so.. I think...I'll just have to do the best to monitor the balance input from these parts to influence my child....
