After an English Language Policy Initiative: Listening to the Voices of Classroom Implementers
( Chan Swee Heong ),( Ain Nadzimah Abdullan ) 범태평양 응용언어학회 2005 Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Ling Vol.9 No.1
Malaysian language policy implementers need to institute a sound language education policy to meet the nation``s goals. While recognizing the need to learn English, current language education programs in Malaysia have not been totally effective in achieving the desired outcomes. As such, more drastic measures have to be taken to set the wheel into motion so that an obvious improvement in language ability can be seen. This actualized in the introduction of teaching mathematics and science in English in Malaysian schools in 2003, a strong measure to uplift the standard of English. The policy change led to several implications, among which is the question of how the new policy would affect classroom implementers of teaching mathematics and science in English. These teachers form a significant segment of stakeholders involved in the education innovation. Their attitudes, concerns and reactions are a significant indicator of the efficacy of the policy change. Investigating teacher perspectives is relevant as the teachers are an important factor in ensuring quality education as teacher expectations, their sensitivity, priorities and values, contribute to the quality of the learning process. With this in mind, a study was carried out to gauge the language policy impact on mathematics and science teachers, upon whose shoulders lies the heavy burden of ground implementation.
