Abstract

This paper describes a Science in English website for Secondary One students in Malaysia. The aim of this website is to provide Science in English resources tailored to the needs of the Malaysian Secondary One students. The creation of this website is in line with the new Malaysian Educational policy of teaching Science and Mathematics in English. This policy was implemented in 2003 for Primary One, Secondary One and Lower Six students in all Malaysian schools, and is to progressively encompass all Malaysian students. This website provides an avenue for students to
enrich and deepen their knowledge in Science and at the same time to enhance their English language skills and promote autonomous language learning. The website consists of explanation and interactive activities pitched at the intermediate level and designed in accordance to the Form One Science Syllabus. The website has been pilot-tested on 50 Form One students and 10 Science teachers. The results of the pilot study are discussed in this paper.
