In line with the Malaysia Education Blueprint (MEB) 2013-2025 to produce young Malaysian graduates who are equipped to work in a globalised economy where English language is the international language of communication, but still preserve the proficiency in the use of a common national language (Bahasa Malaysia) in addition to the international language of communication, SIDMA College continues its effort to improve the English proficiency among its students.

In trying to formulate a successful programme, and one that is as efficient as possible; SIDMA College Sabah, through the dynamic leadership of Dr Morni Hj Kambrie (Founder and Chairman, SIDMA College Sabah and Sarawak) and Madam Azizah Khalid Merican (CEO SIDMA Sabah) responded to MEB to produce bilingual efficiency among its graduates by expanding more opportunities for greater exposure to English among its needy students through a special English Enhancement Programme (EEP).

The special EEP programme which was launched by Madam Azizah Khalid Merican on 14 February 2017 is another of SIDMA’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to provide a fully funded intensive English intervention course to students who are not fluent in their command of the language, in order to transform their Reading, Writing Listening, Speaking as well as their interpersonal communication skills to a greater level so that they can excel in their studies and for their future need.

In the era of globalisation and digitalisation, it is a big challenge for educators to deliver new learning experiences and prepare students to meet the 21st century requirement. Students need to be equipped with ICT and various skills such as collaborative, critical and creative thinking and communicative skills as well as instilling values to them, part of which they need to be interested in their lifelong learning.

In order to equip fresh graduates with the necessary 21st Century skills to face the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), educators need to determine the types of classrooms activities which can help prepare students to communicate in real life beyond the allocated classroom time, as well as to respond better realistically to technologically enhance teaching methods. Technologically enhanced learning will not only appeal more to the students of the 21st century, but will also provide greater avenues for problem solving, creative thinking as well as collaborating with one another.
