As we all know, English is an international language in the lingua franca of the global community.

Moreover, English is the International language of diplomacy, business, science, technology, banking, computing, medicine, aviation, UN & NATO armed forces, engineering, tourism, Hollywood films and arguably the best pop and rock music in the world. English is spoken by more people than any other language. Perhaps, an English speaker is offered the biggest vocabulary of any language with a choice of 500,000 to 1,000,000 words including technical and scientific terms. English can be fun too. A statement was told by Dr. John Brian Anthony, resident from China came to Malaysia to learn English for further studies in overseas like USA, New Zealand and Australia. Although China is a 5000 years civilization country, they want to learn English. Language shapes the perception and structures the ideas. As we know, our government is changing the Science and Mathematics subjects from English to Malay and we argue to that statement. This has caused considerable disbelief and distress among many parents who prefer to have their children learn Mathematics and Science in English. We also advocate to teaching Science and Mathematics subjects in English language. So, we should discriminate English language in learning Science and Mathematics. There are many importance of English in Science and Mathematics. Their parents are very much convinced that their children can have a better fortune if their children equip themselves with knowledge of Science and Mathematics in English. Not only

that being well versed in English language certainly will be an added advantage. To join the new global age of knowledge society it would be in the best interest of Malaysia to encourage students at secondary schools to learn Mathematics and Science in English. They want their children to fit into the new world which has become global, and where English is the currency acceptable and used widely in most countries and in most fields of human endeavour. In the field of knowledge, world libraries and the internet use the English language as the primary language of communication. Our neighbouring country Singapore, has proven a good example why mastering the world language is certainly utmost important especially in this rat race society. One will be handicapped if he is not able to use the language well. The industrial age is now replaced by the age of knowledge. To keep oneself abreast with scientific and technological development, proficiency in the English language is a must. Next, the influence of English in Science and Mathematics, would prepare the students to the international degree. Students use English language to communicate and to understand Mathematics concepts. They are capable of presenting mathematical and scientific concepts with people or in written form. Moreover, students are able to discuss matter with other students originating from scientifically advanced countries like USA and United Kingdom. Consequently, students can get knowledge about Science and Mathematical by language. A survey conducted indicate 95% of scientific journal and materials are presented in English

even approximately 50% of the scientific journal and materials are written by author who are non-native English speaker. Moreover, most website which gives information related to Mathematics and Science originate in English because it is the main medium of communication. Other than that, English is essential in presenting scientific and mathematical general notations of an international level. English also forms a academically discipline condition and be a prerequisite for the formation of a technology advanced nation. English is regard a language of academy. Asia leads the world for having a enormous group of best students in Science and Mathematics as shown by the 2007 report by TIMSS(Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study). However, Malaysia came in the 20th position in 2007 TIMSS. We should make our neighbour country, Singapore, as a role model. Because Singapore uses English language in teaching Mathematics and Science and came 1st in 2003 TIMSS and 3rd in 2007 TIMSS. Consequently, English in Science and Mathematics can help to improve ones proficiency. We can learn more than one language. Then, learning Mathematics and Science in English boost up the confidence in the graduates. We can also master the English language. Multilingualism will be encouraged through this. There will be a betterment of future graduates if Science and Mathematics are taught in English. Other than that, when learn Science and Mathematics in English, it will encourage learners to identify with a foreign country, and also elevate their awareness of their own culture.

It also invites learners to see their own identities in a new light. Learning Science and Mathematics in English will produce enhanced development among students of broader cognitive strategies and skills. It also enhance the learners career prospects. Finally, we would like to state that English is really important in Science and Mathematics. It is better to learn Science and Mathematics in English compare with our mother tongue. Because, when we learn Science and Mathematics in English, we can learn a new language instead. At our point of view, English is the best language in learning Science and Mathematics.
