  2. Historical Setting • ESZ -Prof Dato’ Dr Sharifah Hjapsah, VC, UKM’s idea. • She met all the Principals in Port Dickson, just a couple of weeks after she became VC of UKM • Throw the idea out • Made Residential College PTJ • Introduce ESZ as a product.

  3. Prof Dato Dr Sharifah Hapsah: Problems: “We have with us today a sizeable number of students who are unable to string proper sentences in English Even those with passable proficiency shy away from speaking for lack of confidence.” NST 27 April 2008

  4. continue “The way to address this is to provide more opportunities for students to communicate in English but not through more theoretical courses in English. Only through constant practice and with proper guidance can our students develop the proficiency so that by the time they graduate they will be more confident to use the language. Hence the strategy of using residential college as ESZ .” SharifahHapsah 27 April 2008
