Unified Language Project

Abstract

There are two main aims for the Unified Language Project (henceforth ULP). The first aim is to experiment with some radical departures from normal language teaching procedures in the hope that a solution can be found to the problem of maintaining the standard of English during the progressive Malaysianisation of the medium of instruction in other subjects. In connection with this aim a new language course is being developed. The second aim of the ULP is to study the effects of home environment on the learning of English and Bahasa Malaysia. It is hoped that such a study will provide useful insights for teachers and materials writers as well as administrators.
