Talking of usage of English in Mathematics, yes, we agree with sir that many of us are still and some just getting used to talking in English. In terms of Mathematics, from our experience in SEP last semester, some students especially weak students have problem understanding mathematics concepts in English.It is due to their lack of proficiency in English language hence it affects their understanding in Mathematics. Teachers too are struggling to teach the students to help understand the mathematics concept. They even have to use translation to teach mathematics so that students understand better. So, is it to blame the lack of proficiency in English that makes them difficult to understand mathematics concept? Is translation is only the solution to this problem?
Meanwhile, the advanced students are able to cope up with the subject.Some even could grasp the concepts easily. In Malaysian context, these students that can understand the mathematics in English easily because some come from English-spoken background while some speak English frequently in their daily communication.That is why they are able to grasp the content easily.
So, is this true that only students that have frequent practice in English are able to understand mathematics in English better?
IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT!!!!!!!!!
