摘要
The demand for skilled and well-balanced personnel has led to the growth of continuing education in Malaysia. UTMSPACE, since its inception in 1994, has expanded its role in providing English language training through the establishment of the English Language and Preparatory Programme Unit (UBIPP) in 2007. There are demands for English short courses and tailor-made programmes from the private and public sectors. This paper focuses on the need for retraining of English language competency in continuing education for employees at the workplace. Feedback from training providers, industrial and government sectors are crucial in determining the type of language training needed. The outcome provide some insights for future improvement in training development and continuing education. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
