Trainer’s Notes : Speaking MAJLIS PEPERIKSAAN MALAYSIA
(MALAYSIAN EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL)

Much of human communication is face-to-face and successful interaction in all such


encounters is dependent on the oral language proficiency of the interlocutors. Impressions and
opinions are formed and judgements made about individuals based on what they say and how
they speak and these may have far-reaching consequences. We are duty-bound to provide our
students opportunities to practise and hone their speaking skills and competencies so that they
can avail themselves of the opportunities in the world outside.

In our context, our concerns are about oral communication in English and while many
competencies in oral communication are transferable from other language learning acquisition
contexts, there is still a need to understand and appreciate the forms, structures, subtleties and
nuances that are unique to the English Language. It is this that is our concern and which we
aspire to address. To do this effectively and efficiently, teachers need to be thoroughly familiar
with the desired learning outcomes. The following sessions will provide some ideas that will
focus on these issues and stimulate discussion and reflection.

(MALAYSIAN EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL)

Candidate Speech
CandA I do not agree with Candidate D’s point that Malaysian sportsmen and
sportswomen would get the support of the home crowd. This is because
winning a game actually depends on the skills and talents that you have is not
due to the support of the crowd. Being in the home country is not actually the
main factor of why you win a game. I do not deny that somehow it or
somehow or rather it would affect the game but to what extent would it help? I
wouldn’t win a game just because my family was there to support me, it’s due
to practice. On the other hand, I think that the main cause of hosting this
international event is that we get to attend an international event where it would
put us in a stage where we would compare ourselves with the rest of the world.
Cand D Actually I do not deny also as you say practice really contributes a lot to the
athletes but let’s see , say that you are going to compete ah and your
competitors they are not actually that bad, they are very good but then what
happens if you tend to get tensed up or sort of I am very scared , I am very
anxious and there is nobody cheering for me . Oh, what am going to happen, I
might be lose and then how if I go back to the country, how I’m going to tell
them like its very hard to face the fact you know. See if let’s say that you have
the home crowd there , at least oh, I have so many there behind me, back stage
there, so many cheering for me, so I’ll do my best. Of course practice do
contribute some but at last moment from I mean is last moment I think that
those cheery you know banners and those claps really help a lot and of course
we internationally known its …
Cand B For the home crowd thing I have to agree with Cand. D that it does affect the
winning the game. But, however this is not about winning the game it’s about
getting the support of the home crowd and then it’s, that is one of the benefit
but to me, I think what would benefit the country the most is earn more income
because we can see in a long term wise, that you see if , if we boost our
income, in the long term we can develop our country economically, socially,
and we’ll definitely get to our Vision 2020 in no time easy so I think that it’s
the most important . What do you think Cand. C?
Cand C In my opinion support from the home crowd is also important to our athlete
because ah when we have support from our home crowd we have motivation to
win to compete with others. I think, in my opinion support from home crowd
is one of , one of the… you can support from the home crowd is very important
if you want to win.

Trainer’s Notes : Speaking MAJLIS PEPERIKSAAN MALAYSIA

Candidate SPEECH

CandA Allow me to interrupt. Does it mean that if you are competing in another
country, you wouldn’t win it because it you thought you do not have the
support of others? It’s not that, it’s actually professionalism.
Cand D It’s not the matter of win but then the matter come not say the chances of
winning is it high or low. It’s high is when the own country organise the
competition. It’s not actually you go to a foreign country you won’t win.
It’s actually we are talking about is the chances, the probability of
winning.
CandA Yeah, I Oh I agree with that you would tend to be more motivated and
more passionate if you have people around you supporting you.
Cand D Em.. they feel better.
CandA (nodding)
Cand B Like I said also it’s not about winning the game or chances of winning but
it’s about getting the support and this support is important er .. what do
you think about being internationally known ? What is that benefit?
Cand C Em. In my opinion if Malaysia is internationally known, other country
will know Malaysia more. They can know where special places in
Malaysia. They can come and as tourists come here and if, if for eg, if
we are hosting a Commonwealth Game, they come to our country they see
Dataran Merdeka or other exciting things. They will one day bring their
family and friends to Malaysia I think er..
Cand D Malaysia may internationally known is actually, is a fact that when
Malaysia organise an event it will be internationally known so that’s
actually a fact. So … I wouldn’t deny that actually being internationally
known will automatically Malaysia would earn more money. Tourists will
start coming in something like recognise oh that Malaysia exist in this
world. So they will start coming in and then they will invest more
economy especially when our economy is quite stable around Asia and
what do you think Cand. A?
CandA Yes, Somehow I think that it would also link to opportunity to attend an
international event because if you are already internationally known for
the good reasons, it would actually make other organisation nominate us
to host other bigger event and somehow being known to the world we
would also get chances of hosting other great events.
