HIGHLY IMMERSIVE PROGRAMME (HIP) FOR
SMK SERI TANGKAK

The Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) is a programme introduced under the

MBMMBI policy that will improve the English proficiency of students through
increased exposure in schools. It is a reinforcement of the 1999 MOE circular
on implementing English enrichment activities in and out of class. It also
aims to inculcate positive behaviours towards the learning and usage of the
English Language.

It is a reinforcement of the 1999 MOE circular on implementing English

enrichment activities in and out of class. What is different is the way we are
implementing HIP. The approach is to empower schools, by the schools and
for the schools. Schools will be provided with a toolkit so that they will be
guided for a more purposeful planning of activities, based on their
local context and capabilities. The toolkit will contain examples of best
practices from schools that have implemented English enrichment activities
in and out of class successfully.There will be a support mechanism to
encourage schools to share, learn and encourage each other on the
implementation of English enrichment activities.

OPENING SPEECH BY Y.A.B. DATUK SERI PANGLIMA

MUSA HAJI AMAN CHIEF MINISTER OF SABAH, AT THE
LAUNCH OF THE STATE LEVEL ENGLISH DAY
PROGRAMME BY THE SABAH STATE EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT YEAR 2016, AT SMK SRI NANGKA,
TUARAN
ON 16 FEBRUARY 2016

I am honoured to be here this morning at this meaningful and

important event, one that will further transform education
achievement in Sabah. In the last five years, public examination
results of students in Sabah have shown tremendous improvement and
I view this event as an effort to make further strides in bringing
competency levels in this state to newer heights.
I wish to congratulate the Sabah Education Department on your
initiative to organise the English Day programme and to announce
Tuesdays as English Day for the education community, including for
those who work in education offices. By not limiting the programme
to schools, you are setting the right example.

We need to embark on continuous efforts to encourage the younger

generation to be well versed in English. Although other languages are
also widely spoken, English is the official medium of communication
in many countries. It is estimated that the number of people
worldwide who use English to communicate on a regular basis is two
billion, which is about a third of the global population.

It is worrying to note that some students think that they can do well
later on without mastering at least some of the key competencies in
the English language. In a highly globalized world, it is necessary to
be able to communicate in English as it is the dominant business
language. Feedback from all over the world shows that cross-border
business communication is most often conducted in English. This
language’s importance in the global market place cannot be
understated. Learning English can change your lives and we need to
keep encouraging students to not shy away from this language.

For those who enjoy reading and other forms of media, many of the
world’s top films, books and music are published and produced in
English. By learning English, you will have access to a great wealth
of knowledge and entertainment. About half of the content produced
in the Internet is in English. This does translate into a huge amount of
information that one could lose out on by ignoring the language.
While learning English can be challenging and time consuming, it is
necessary to make the sacrifice as it does open doors to many
opportunities and to some extent, boosts innovation.

It is not an easy task to start with something new. Some resist

speaking English as they regard it as glorification of a colonial
language. Others shy away when they are labelled as showing off or
being arrogant when they use the language. This is not a good
situation to be in as it may demotivate those who are willing to brush
up their English proficiency.

I understand there are a number of programmes run by the Education

Department to upgrade the level of English achievement and the level
of proficiency among users. Some 23 schools are currently taking part
in the Highly Immersive Programme. This programme is meant to
encourage the use of English as a medium of communication beyond
the classroom. Another initiative is the Dual Language Programme
through which Mathematics and Science are taught in English. Other
than fulfilling the criteria set by the minister, schools need to conduct
surveys to gain consensus from parents for this to proceed.

I am glad to welcome 15 Fulbright English Teaching Assistants

(ETA) from the United States of America to be part of the Upholding
Bahasa Malaysia and Strengthening English Language policy.
Feedback from students and schools about this collaboration between
the Malaysian and American governments has been positive. Apart
from increasing interest among students, English language teachers
are able to further develop their professional network and share
classroom ideas, experiences and techniques with one another.

I wish to share that the Sabah Government is committed to seeing

improvement of proficiency in English among students. We will work
hand in hand especially with the Sabah Education Department to
ensure basic needs in schools especially in rural and remote areas, are
met. We hope this will reduce the gap between rural and urban areas
and improve achievement among students. It is our collective
responsibility to instil confidence in using this language so that it is
used in daily communication and is not limited to just aiming to get
the minimum requirement for passing it in exams.

I once again commend the Sabah Education Department for this effort
to uplift the application of the English Language among students and
the education community. I wish you all the best in successfully
implementing this programme.
On that note, I am pleased to declare the “English Day Programme”
officially launched.
Thank you.

A very warm welcome I wish to our distinguish guests. It is a

pleasure and a great honor for me to
welcome you to our alma mater, Sekolah Tuanku Abdul Rahman,
ipoh. We are honored to have with
us, the officer from the Japanese Information Service, Education
Ministry of Malaysia, University
Malaya representative and also the Alumni of The look East Policy
Society.

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening to Pn Jamilah

Jamaluddin, Senior Assistant for the Afternoon session, Pn Nor
Zalifah, teachers and students.
I am honoured to be here this evening at this meaningful and
important event that is the launching of The Highly Immersive
Programme or HIP. The Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) is a
programme introduced under the MBMMBI policy that will improve
the English proficiency of students through increased exposure
in schools. The approach is to empower schools, by the schools and
for the schools.

Teachers and Students,

There are a number of programmes run by the Education

Ministry to upgrade the level of English achievement and the level of
proficiency among users. Many schools in Malaysia are currently
taking part in this Highly Immersive Programme (HIP). This
programme is meant to encourage the use of English as a medium of
communication beyond the classroom. Another initiative is the Dual
Language Programme that we have in our school for 1 Gamma and 1
Zeta, through which Mathematics and Science are taught in English.

Teachers and Students,

I also wish to congratulate the English Panel on your initiative

to organise the English Day programme and to announce Tuesdays as
English Day for the school. By not limiting the programme to the
subject itself, you are setting the right example. I wish you all the
best in successfully implementing this programme.

On that note, I am pleased to declare the ‘Highly Immersive

Programme (HIP)’ officially launched.

Thank You.
