Solid Evidence That PPSMI Works

Blogger Outsyed the Box is a long-time advocate of PPSMI and he fought hard in the last battle to keep PPSMI.

With the result of the UPSR now out, there are some numbers to analyse and determine if PPSMI really did cause students more problems and hurt their results.

Apparently not.

Syed says: So can the anti-PPSMI people answer this question : if PPSMI is so bad, then how come this year's UPSR results are "the best in four years"?

Manglish for Science and Mathematics

I know you might think that this is a joke story or some kind of cynical commentary on the arguments that are floating around the issue of teaching science and mathematics in English, but it is not.

I promise you this is a serious suggestion.

First let me clarify that Manglish in this instance does not refer to the mangled wreck of English as spoken or written by Malaysians who are less than competent with the rules of the language but rather a mix of Malay and English words and sentences, much like the conversations that we have among friends.

Technically this is known as Rojak languge, it is not currently allowed on RTM and tightly corralled even on private radio and television stations.
