Abstract
When the Malaysian Education Ministry announced a change in the medium of instruction from the national language, Bahasa Malaysia to English for Mathematics and science subjects for Primary one, form one, and lower sixth forms, beginning the year 2003, teachers and students nationwide have to grapple with the switch of language. As the implementation news was announced at a very short notice, many teachers were caught by surprise as some were not prepared to deliver the subjects using English. This is probably due to lack of proficiencies, confidence and inadequate command of English. These problems, if not taken seriously would undermine the process of teaching and learning and subsequently students would be the victim as they are the ones that sit for the assessment and examination. Therefore, this study using questionnaires is undertaken to investigate the Teachers’ Readiness in the Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English. Sixty-nine respondents from four selected secondary schools in Kuching, Sarawak participated in this study.
