class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The Malaysian University English Test (MUET), introduced in 1999, is a potentially high-stakes test because of the fact that it is a mandatory requirement for admission into public universities. It was introduced with the aim of bringing about a higher level of English proficiency, especially crucial for those entering university. The paper focuses on the impact of the Reading component on literacy, and examines four factors that are perceived to affect the impact of the MUET, namely: 1) the perceived status of the MUET, 2) the sociopolitical situation, 3) the teacher/teaching, and 4) the test construct. It concludes that the reading construct in the MUET Reading component is inadequately operationalized and suggests that the construct be reviewed in the light of long-term literacy goals.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7ac32bd5ae813d69ce780b73019d77e8" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":95170585,"asset_id":92058495,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/95170585/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="92058495"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="92058495"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 92058495;

The literature on assessment in higher education clearly places assessment at the heart of student learning and it is claimed that "the truth about an educational system" may be discovered by examining its assessment procedures (Rowntree, 1987, p.1). Using a qualitative case study approach, the study aims to reveal the values inherent in assessment, to show how these are conveyed through institutional discourses and through practices of lecturers, and how students' learning behaviour may be affected by their perspectives of assessment. Data gathering activities for the entire doctoral research include focus group discussions and individual interviews with finalyear undergraduates, interviews with their lecturers, observations of lectures and classroom assessments, examination of documents related to the course descriptions and assessment, as well as a study of the administrative and procedural aspects of assessment which are part of the assessment praxis. The emerging themes reported here, based solely on the analysis of two of the focus group discussions, indicate how assessment praxis in higher education seems to be a reproduction of dominant power structures that have inculcated patterns of student passivity in learning. This has serious implications for the 1 This is a revised version of a work-in-progress paper presented by Lee King Siong at the 30 th Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC) 2008, Hangzhou, China.

Asmah Haji Omar observed that interest in language and identity seemed to be confined to studies on national identity. A doctoral study by Lee Su Kim of the identity of Malaysian speakers of English found that there was resentment in certain localized contexts amongst the Malay respondents in the study towards the use of English. Expressions of resentment and ambivalence towards the use of the English language were also prevalent amongst the non-Malay respondents within certain contexts. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative research study which sets out to investigate the impact of English on the identities of young Malaysian undergraduates in selected private and public universities in Malaysia. Using qualitative methods, this research study essentially takes off from Lee Su Kim's doctoral research study, and aims to explore on a larger scale the role of English in the identity construction of a younger Malaysian cohort from both public and private universities. The findings presented here are from a few selected case studies that provide the qualitative data. The discussion will focus on how different multilingual Malaysian undergraduates regard English vis a vis the other languages in their repertoire and how it has affected their identity constructions and everyday negotiations. Three dominant themes arising from the findings will be discussed, 1) Multilingualism with English emerging as the dominant language, 2) English viewed as a pragmatic language and a language of empowerment, and 3) Varying degrees of 'othering'.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e7dd50dbf6a3b8bdc57cf795e9da22dc" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":90319560,"asset_id":85700407,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/90319560/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="85700407"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="85700407"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 85700407;

The literature on assessment in higher education clearly places <br />assessment at the heart of student learning and it is claimed that “the truth about an <br />educational system” may be discovered by examining its assessment procedures <br />(Rowntree, 1987, p.1). Using a qualitative case study approach, the study aims to reveal <br />the values inherent in assessment, to show how these are conveyed through institutional <br />discourses and through practices of lecturers, and how students’ learning behaviour may <br />be affected by their perspectives of assessment. Data gathering activities for the entire <br />doctoral research include focus group discussions and individual interviews with finalyear <br />undergraduates, interviews with their lecturers, observations of lectures and <br />classroom assessments, examination of documents related to the course descriptions and <br />assessment, as well as a study of the administrative and procedural aspects of assessment <br />which are part of the assessment praxis. The emerging themes reported here, based solely <br />on the analysis of two of the focus group discussions, indicate how assessment praxis in <br />higher education seems to be a reproduction of dominant power structures that have <br />inculcated patterns of student passivity in learning. This has serious implications for the <br />1 This is a revised version of a work-in-progress paper presented by Lee King Siong at the 30th <br />Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC) 2008, Hangzhou, China.

It was introduced with the aim of bringing about a higher level of English proficiency, especially crucial for those entering university. The paper focuses on the impact of the Reading component on literacy, and examines four factors that are perceived to affect the impact of the MUET, namely: 1) the perceived status of the MUET, 2) the sociopolitical situation, 3) the teacher/teaching, and 4) the test construct. It concludes that the reading construct in the MUET Reading component is inadequately operationalized and suggests that the construct be reviewed in the light of long-term literacy goals.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="7ac32bd5ae813d69ce780b73019d77e8" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":95170585,"asset_id":92058495,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/95170585/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="92058495"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="92058495"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 92058495;

The literature on assessment in higher education clearly places assessment at the heart of student learning and it is claimed that "the truth about an educational system" may be discovered by examining its assessment procedures (Rowntree, 1987, p.1). Using a qualitative case study approach, the study aims to reveal the values inherent in assessment, to show how these are conveyed through institutional discourses and through practices of lecturers, and how students' learning behaviour may be affected by their perspectives of assessment. Data gathering activities for the entire doctoral research include focus group discussions and individual interviews with finalyear undergraduates, interviews with their lecturers, observations of lectures and classroom assessments, examination of documents related to the course descriptions and assessment, as well as a study of the administrative and procedural aspects of assessment which are part of the assessment praxis. The emerging themes reported here, based solely on the analysis of two of the focus group discussions, indicate how assessment praxis in higher education seems to be a reproduction of dominant power structures that have inculcated patterns of student passivity in learning. This has serious implications for the 1 This is a revised version of a work-in-progress paper presented by Lee King Siong at the 30 th Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC) 2008, Hangzhou, China.

Asmah Haji Omar observed that interest in language and identity seemed to be confined to studies on national identity. A doctoral study by Lee Su Kim of the identity of Malaysian speakers of English found that there was resentment in certain localized contexts amongst the Malay respondents in the study towards the use of English. Expressions of resentment and ambivalence towards the use of the English language were also prevalent amongst the non-Malay respondents within certain contexts. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative research study which sets out to investigate the impact of English on the identities of young Malaysian undergraduates in selected private and public universities in Malaysia. Using qualitative methods, this research study essentially takes off from Lee Su Kim's doctoral research study, and aims to explore on a larger scale the role of English in the identity construction of a younger Malaysian cohort from both public and private universities. The findings presented here are from a few selected case studies that provide the qualitative data. The discussion will focus on how different multilingual Malaysian undergraduates regard English vis a vis the other languages in their repertoire and how it has affected their identity constructions and everyday negotiations. Three dominant themes arising from the findings will be discussed, 1) Multilingualism with English emerging as the dominant language, 2) English viewed as a pragmatic language and a language of empowerment, and 3) Varying degrees of 'othering'.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e7dd50dbf6a3b8bdc57cf795e9da22dc" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":90319560,"asset_id":85700407,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/90319560/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="85700407"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="85700407"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 85700407;

The literature on assessment in higher education clearly places <br />assessment at the heart of student learning and it is claimed that “the truth about an <br />educational system” may be discovered by examining its assessment procedures <br />(Rowntree, 1987, p.1). Using a qualitative case study approach, the study aims to reveal <br />the values inherent in assessment, to show how these are conveyed through institutional <br />discourses and through practices of lecturers, and how students’ learning behaviour may <br />be affected by their perspectives of assessment. Data gathering activities for the entire <br />doctoral research include focus group discussions and individual interviews with finalyear <br />undergraduates, interviews with their lecturers, observations of lectures and <br />classroom assessments, examination of documents related to the course descriptions and <br />assessment, as well as a study of the administrative and procedural aspects of assessment <br />which are part of the assessment praxis. The emerging themes reported here, based solely <br />on the analysis of two of the focus group discussions, indicate how assessment praxis in <br />higher education seems to be a reproduction of dominant power structures that have <br />inculcated patterns of student passivity in learning. This has serious implications for the <br />1 This is a revised version of a work-in-progress paper presented by Lee King Siong at the 30th <br />Language Testing Research Colloquium (LTRC) 2008, Hangzhou, China.
