Fixing Malaysia’s English language woes


THE more I am around English teachers, the more I can see where English language education in Malaysia is going wrong.

I have experienced English teachers who graduated with high CGPAs (cumulative grade point averages) of 3.80 in TESL (Test of English as a Second Language) but who still have a poor command of the language. And I have met several English teachers who shared that they are not confident about their English proficiency and often times feel inferior to colleagues who speak better.
