The Disadvantage of Using English to Teach Mathematics and Science

For all countries, including Malaysia, education is seriously educated and it is very important to create a society that can develop in every aspect of our country. With the development of ICT, our government intends to create citizens with excellent English skills. In order to achieve this goal, a new educational policy called PPSMI was introduced in hopes of integrating English into education. While this new policy is excellent, you can see that the absence of PPSMI overcomes all the advantages of PPSMI.

English is the main language of teaching mathematics and science. However, because English is a common language all over the world, it is important for everyone. In Malaysia our English education is weakly lacking and students must improve their English communication and knowledge. English must be a better educational form; we should use more courses and more English subjects to improve their language knowledge. On the other hand, English uses daily life in the classroom. You can talk to other people in other countries anywhere, or in English. Therefore, before effectively learning science and mathematics and teaching, English should be applied to all students and teachers.

Should mathematics and science be taught in English? Teaching science and mathematics in English can help students add additional knowledge. By studying science and mathematics in English, we can tackle the challenges of this globalization era. I was asked a question; I wrote to the prime minister to convince him to support my English teaching science and mathematics position. So, in my letter, I wrote: 2. In teaching both subjects in English, English as an international language has a great influence on students' acquisition of English. As other subjects such as ethics, Sejarah and Malay are still taught in our mother tongue, this will not endanger our mother tongue. Even though English is the medium of the subject to improve students' understanding of the two languages, in the classroom, the teacher can still explain Murray's mathematical theory and scientific mechanism.
