  • A Survey of English Language Teaching in Higher Institutions of Learning in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 1 November 2017 doi:10.20944/preprints201711.0013.v1 A Survey of English Language Teaching in Higher Institutions of Learning in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia Tatiana Shulgina a* and Gopal Sagaran b* * Tatiana Shulgina, a Puchong, Selangor 47100, Malaysia * Gopal Sagaran b Puchong, Selangor 47100, Malaysia a Binary University, Malaysia; [email protected] b Binary University, Malaysia; [email protected] ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to explore the extent of English language teaching in Higher Institutions of Malaysia and investigate the current changes, trends and challenges in this niche. A sample of 100 English learners from public and private institutions participated in this study. Analysis of the responses indicated that English language is remaining to be difficult to master, due to speaking environment, proficiency of the teachers and other factors. However, the Government is on the right direction to improve this situation by following Common European Framework of Reference of Languages. As any other system, it takes time to put into realization and start up the mechanism. This observation carries a pedagogical perspective and includes the overview of the general picture based on Private, Public and Stand Alone English educational institutions. This study has highlighted the practical importance of British Framework of English learning and suggests to focus on emphasis of the learning process instead of a result.

  • Malaysia: from Hub to Exporter of Higher Education and Implications
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 10 • No. 2 • February 2019 doi:10.30845/ijbss.v10n2p6 Malaysia: From Hub to Exporter of Higher Education and Implications Yuk Fong Chin Vice-Chancellor North Borneo University College Sabah, Malaysia Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss the factors that have turned Malaysia into an exporter of higher education as well as their implications. Malaysia has been striving to develop a world-class higher education system that will help transform its production-based economy into a knowledge-based economy by 2020. In the 1990s, public universities were corporatized to become less dependent on government subsidies. With the passing of the 1996 Private Higher Education Act, private higher education began to expand in Malaysia. Currently, Malaysia is a highly favoured study destination for international students from India, Bangladesh, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Malaysia’s political stability and its open-market economy have provided a secure environment for international students. Further, the government has been clear about its intention of making higher education an export industry. It has adopted several measures to ensure the orderly maintenance of education quality through the National Accreditation Board, and subsequently, the Malaysian Qualifications Agency. Since the demand for higher education will continue to increase in the next 20 years, Malaysian higher institutions of learning will be able to widen their market share while strengthening the government’s strategy to make higher education an export industry. Keywords: Malaysia, exporter of higher education, international hub, factors, quality control Introduction Malaysia is steadily gaining recognition of its higher education system that helps strengthen its aim to become a global education destination by 2025.
