New avenues to explore for effective English Training Program in Malaysia.

 

SOLS 24/7 discusses English education programs in Malaysia with former Malaysian Prime Minister, YAB Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and Tan Sri Vincent Tan.

 

5 Feb 2012, KUALA LUMPUR: The solution to improving the English proficiency of Malaysians has to be addressed from multiple approaches in order to reach the people.

This was just one of the issues discussed by Science of Life Studies 24/7 (SOLS 24/7) Directors Madenjit Singh, Raj Ridvan Singh and Dhinu Dhanveer Singh during their meeting with former Malaysian Prime Minister YAB Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad and Berjaya Corporation Berhad Chairman, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan.

During the hour and a half meeting, SOLS 24/7 Directors presented some of the training methodology and programs crafted from 27 years of research.

Tun Mahathir was impressed with the research and technology of the new English training program presented and mentioned that he would look into giving SOLS 24/7 a pilot in a private university he has influence in. He also suggested that SOLS 24/7 open a training centre in Kedah, for which he would place students.

Tan Sri Vincent, who organized the meeting, is a passionate advocate of English language education in Malaysia. His genuine desire to see Malaysians and the nation benefit from an effective English program extends to introducing it to the formal education system.

Tan Sri Vincent’s keen interest in promoting English proficiency in the country is evident through his involvement in theSun daily newspaper, which is provided free in the Klang Valley.

Through his support, SOLS 24/7 is currently in talks with theSun newspaper to create a comprehensive system of English training through a pull-out teaching format.

However, Tun Mahathir cautioned about the challenges that were sure to lie in the path to bringing the SOLS 24/7 programs to the formal education system.

Despite the challenges he mentioned, Tun Mahathir promised to give his support for the SOLS 24/7 English training program and consented to officiate and launch an event in relations to SOLS 24/7 English programs.

Reflecting after the meeting, SOLS 24/7 Chief founder, Madenjit Singh (Big Teacher) said he was tremendously empowered by the discussion.

“We are truly grateful to have the blessings and support of both Tun Mahathir and Tan Sri Vincent,” he said.

“Through their guidance, and by helping connect us to the appropriate people, we hope to get the opportunity to launch a pilot program to teach and prove the effectiveness of our English programs,” he continued.
