University students are expected to read that. 

Students who are not proficient in English, could be obstructed from obtaining information from variety of materials as vast amount of time were spent to understand the material (Wahiza Wagi, 2013)

Asian Social Science, Vol.10, No.14, pp254-260 bonifacepaulbanta1 https://padlet.com/bonifacepaulbanta1/EngHighEdu/wish/202799273 A new teaching and learning system to enhance the proficiency in English among public university students will be implemented from September onwards. This is to help the undergraduates communicate in English and prepare them to meet the requirements of the working world. 
 
Essentially, students will learn English according to three tiers namely, English for Employment, Intensive English and General English. The introduction of the three-tier system would address the different levels of preparedness, motivation and more importantly, purpose for learning English among undergraduates. According to Professor Datuk Dr Rujhan Mustafa, the Higher
Education Ministry’s director-general, expanding on the English for Employment category would help students develop job search strategies and equip themselves with the necessary language skills (NST 18, June 2012).
 
According to Professor Datuk Dr Zaini Ujang, vice-chancellor of University Technology Malaysia, English cannot be taught in the classroom alone. Language can be learned only if there are practical applications. That is why it is important to expose students and provide opportunities for them to use the language (NST 24, June 2012).
