Malaysia wants young people to be confident communicators in both Bahasa Melayu and English. While English lessons are an important part of that, learning a language also means having opportunities to use it in everyday situations, whether that's talking to friends, taking part in school activities or expressing an idea in class. So, how can we make these everyday opportunities count, and ensure that children from different backgrounds get the support they need to become confident bilingual communicators? To discuss this, we speak to academic lecturer Noor Azmira Amran from the English Language Teaching Centre, or ELTC, under the Ministry of Education Malaysia.
