Each and every time an error in the English language is spotted, endless swipes are taken at the education system implying that the system is broken, the English language is doomed and our students’ future is on a downward spiral. It was thus timely, in fact overdue, that the 2nd International Conference on English Language, themed “Envisioning the Future of English Language Education: Exploring Innovations and Best Practices in English Language Teaching” was held on Sept 26 to 28 in the pro-English state of Negeri Sembilan. Parent Action Group for Education Malaysia has been advocating for a secondary school in every state, aligned to international school standards, solely to produce a constant stream of top-notch English language teachers. The legal eagles of the Ministry of Education will have to figure out the complexities of this arrangement to make it happen. While it may appear a daunting task, parents will forever be grateful and appreciative of the sacrifices that passionate and dedicated English language teachers have made for our children.
