PETALING JAYA: The implementation of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is timely and could help in improving mastery of the English language among Malaysian graduates.
Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences Faculty of Medicine dean Mejar-Jen Professor Datuk Dr Mohd Zin Bidin commended the move by the Education Ministry.
“In the long run, it will help students share our history, religion and customs with an international audience,” he said, adding that mastering English could also boost students’ confidence. “These two nations are leading in the worldwide business process outsourcing service industry simply because of their mastery of English,” he said, adding that it was one of the most important languages in all industries, from healthcare to military.
CUCMS’ Oxbridge Language Centre and Oxford English Academy Cyberjaya head of English Programme Jeremy Bishop said implementation of the CEFR would help Malaysian youth in their future.
