DEBATE- English should be only the medium in design ( First speaker in negative group)


              

  Assalamualaikum and very good evening to Dr. Tan and all my fellow friends. We are strongly disagree with timeline English should be only medium in design. I’m Noor Baizura Binti Zainal as a first speaker want to talk about not only English can be medium in design. Let me introduce to my team members Nur Shaqila Binti Rozhak as a second speaker, she will talk about the variety of language and  third speaker Wan Noor Amalini Binti Wan Deris she will talk about , language can make our design go to internationally and the last speaker Fatin Isma Binti Ibrahim  she will talk about  not only English language can be use in our communication.

Actually I disagree with point of first speaker in affirmative group because for me not only English can be the medium in design but Bahasa Melayu  also can be medium in design especially in Malaysia. Bahasa Melayu is our language, it’s our duty to uphold it. If we indirectly using English , what will happened to Bahasa  Melayu? For me, practice make perfect , we should practice our language ,so that,  our language can be seen by people outside.

Other than that, it’s make easier  for student from rural and non-English  speaking background to understand the subject ( especially Malay student). If  they cannot understand English in the first place, how they going to understand the design concept. What are we all know now, Bahasa Melayu also has been international language, it’s the same level with English language, so that , we must study design in our language. For those who are not perfect in English, we don’t be shame because that are not the serious problem.

What we can see here  as the example people in Japan are uphold their language. They don’t want using  English language but their  country grow up successful without using English language.

Lastly, I strongly protest the timeline that English should be only medium in design.
