Abstract
There have been many studies on the integration of the Internet in the teaching and learning English language; and the benefits derived from such practices have been widely documented. But there is inadequate research into the field of web-based Malay language learning especially studies on the subject at pre-university level. This daunting scenario provides the impetus for the writer to examine the situation and to offer a proposal of an online learning environment for Malay language instruction and learning. Through the setting up of a prototype Malay language learning web site, this thesis therefore attempts to explore the various potential approaches in using the Internet as an important media to enhance teaching and learning of the language at junior colleges. A formative evaluation was conducted to determine how well the online structure and instructional materials work. Thereafter, based on the findings and recommendations received, the web site was restructured to enhance its effectiveness and maximise its educational benefits. An ensuing concluding summary and a discussion of the future of online Malay language learning in Singapore draw down the curtain to this study.
