Good Morning and Salam Sejahtera
Just another round of expressing my 2 cents to the world. If it annoys you then I am sorry. BTW, this is my realm. Not yours!!! I can even post my nude pictures if I wanted to. Buzz off if you don’t like it here. While waiting for ePrints to finish its compilation on Ubuntu Server, I browse Malaysiakini for any good news. And I found 1 good letter in English in Maths and Science. Again with the same reason, why must English in Maths & Science. Usually, these would be the reasons:
- To improve their English
- To broaden their employment opportunities
Ok. No doubt that English is very important (Well those Japs can do without it). My argument here is, mastering English should be made in English Class, not in Maths and Science. I do not see any relations to improve English with teaching Maths and Science in that language. Well, I did not learn Maths and Science in English but I can speak, write and understand English, Engrish, Minglish and broken very well.
Tun Dr. Mahathir could do anything at that time. Let say, he urged schools to make use B.Melayu in Maths and Science. None of this will happen. And… most of us be not wasting time with this issue. Maths and Science in English is absolute nonsense if the aim is to improve English.
Language is very unique. Very unique in a sense of multiple subject areas need to be addressed. Language has reading and comprehension, grammar, writing as well as listening and speaking. All languages have these elements. Where do those elements appear in Maths and Science? (Di Celah Beda Lah!!!).
Improve English, Yes you must. But do it right!! Do it properly. Do not join the band wagon of those imbeciles.
Yeah. The “?” is missing.
Your title – munmonlisme » Blog Archive » English in Maths and Science – caught my eye on the technorati feed page. I’m not sure that the content of the post actually matches the title though. You sure you’re not writing post titles to get readers, rather than representing the content of the post? 😉
