THE first Malaysian English Language Teaching Association (Melta) National Colloquium on the Role of English Language in Nation-Building was a success in that it brought together a good cross-section of people, all intent on coming up with workable solutions.
Teachers, university dons, education officers, ministry representatives, bankers, lawyers – the diversity of the 115-odd participants at the colloquium was impressive and reflective of the importance of the subject matter.
