BACKGROUND

The emphasis of the program is on communication practice in a range of situational contexts that have immediate concern to them, for instance talking about family, relating one’s personal life and experiences in valuing Malay culture, asking for and giving directions, purchasing goods and ordering meals. Authentic materials are used to enhance understanding. First-hand discovery of the Malay culture with a host family as well as fieldtrips to selected places enable the participants to appreciate the traditional and modern culture of Malay in Malaysia.

1. Communicate using simple Malay for rudimentary conversation, e.g. facts about themselves and their daily routines
