Malay Medium Students at MIT: An experiment

Abstract

The Mara Institute of Technology, a school of pre-university studies, and the first higher educational institution to open its door to pupils from the Malay medium schools, admitted 340 students into the Institute in January, 1970. As the normal Institute year begins in July, it was planned to put these Malay medium students through an intensive English course lasting six months at the Institute, before the academic year began.
