The New KBSM Literature Component 2010

As some of you might have noted, the literature component for KBSM has been updated with a complete new list of reading materials. There is still a lack of input on the novels though as some teachers have mentioned they might not be included. We’ll wait and see. At the mean time, TESLMALAYSIA.com will start providing valuable materials for each of the literary texts starting this month. If you would like to contribute, feel free to contact us and we’ll be more than happy to acknowledge your contribution here.
