Abstract

The launching of Malaysia English Language Roadmap (2015-2025) by Ministry of Education reflects the government’s commitment in improving students’ proficiency in the English Language. The roadmap aims at ensuring the implementation of a fully aligned CEFR English Language curriculum is achieved by 2025. Not only schools were instructed to align their curriculum to CEFR, but tertiary institutions were also urged to do the same. Accordingly, the Centre for Languages and Pre-University Academic Development (CELPAD) of IIUM formed a committee to review and align its English Language courses to CEFR. The implementation of CEFR aligned curriculum came about in Semester 1, 2021/22. It has now been three semesters since CEFR-aligned curriculum was implemented on the presessional English language programme at CELPAD. As part of an academic review exercise, a questionnaire consisting of 22 questions was distributed to CELPAD English Language teachers to determine their knowledge and perception of the CEFR aligned curriculum. The findings have shed light on areas that require more attention to help teachers understand CEFR better, which, in turn, ensures that teaching and learning using CEFR aligned curriculum is successful.
