English has become a language that is widely used by almost all parts of the world for international interactions. For higher education studies, it is used as the learning language in many parts of the world. Developing countries especially Malaysia, widely use the English language as their learning language. There is the need for university students to have a good base in English language. My opinion in our nation’s context is that I totally agree that the university students need to be good in English to excel academically and professionally. The case is that it would let students understand subjects, learn facts of the world, join international programmes, undergo interviews and communicate during internship.
First and foremost, it would be a necessity for university students to be good in English so that they would know what they learn during the lecture. Many lectures are taught in English. Mostly the science subjects which make English as the language of science. Majority of books used are also printed in English. The need for students to understand English is greater as they proceed to higher education level such as Master level and Doctor of Philosophy level. For example, studying science subjects such as Biology, Chemistry and Physics for degree level it uses English language version reference books and terminology. It is difficult to capture such knowledge if students are weak in English. By knowing the facts, English is a language of study for university students especially in Malaysia.
