- W2895524837 abstract "English has now become the lingua franca of much of technological, business and academic endeavours. Consequently, learning the English language is now seen as vital, especially at the university level where proficiency in the language has become a selection criterion. At present, the Malaysian University English Test (MUET) has been adopted by Malaysian public universities as an indicator of English language proficiency. A student’s overall result dependson all the four language components of the MUET and oftendetermines the number and nature of the English language courseshe or she has to attend at university. This study seeks to examinewhether MUET is an accurate predictor of performance and successat university and how the MUET can be finetuned as an entry levelEnglish language test. It was carried out among 52 third yearundergraduates of the Faculty of Educational Studies, Universiti PutraMalaysia, Serdang, Malaysia, admitted into the Teaching English asa Second Language (TESL) programme. The findings of the study donot offer conclusive evidence about the validity of MUET as a predictorof academic success. However, six models of various combinationsof scores on language components on the MUET scores are examinedin terms of their effectiveness in increasing the accuracy in selectingstudents for the TESL programme. The correlations obtained usingthese models indicate that the combination of various components ofthe MUET can be used to more accurately predict student achievementat tertiary level than the cumulative MUET score itself. The results of these correlations and their implications in using language tests asadmission requirements in general are also discussed." @default.
