Modern English Bandar Puteri Puchong Press Conference

Modern English is an English language specialist which has centres in Bandar Puteri, Puchong and Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam. Their classes cater to children from 5 years old onwards. Starting from beginner level to upper advanced, Modern English uses an integrated syllabus to focus on all aspects of the language, including the four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) and grammar.



Modern English Puchong was founded in 2011 by Steve Holloway and his wife, Angie. Steve, the Principal,gave a brief history about Modern English, their teaching beliefs, current activities and future direction.



The key concept of Modern English Puchong is to bring international quality teaching to areas away from central Kuala Lumpur. Steve, a former Business Development Manager for the British Council, Kuala Lumpur, believes Modern English combines the best aspects of the British Council with a more open customer focus.



Steve explains that what sets Modern English apart is their customer focus. “We have an open-door policy,” he added. “Parents can come and talk to us freely at any time during the year.”


“Great English teachers can be of any nationality or background,” explained Eddie Lim, director of the new Modern English branch in Kota Kemuning. “What we do insist on, of course, is native-speaker level English, and a globally-recognised teaching qualification.”


With over 400 students, Modern English Puchong is well established within the community. This has been further enhanced over the last two years after the founding of the Modern English Primary Short Story Contest, probably the richest writing competition of its kind in Malaysia.

Aimed specifically at government primary schools, the contest offers a first prize of RM1,000 to both the winning student and their school. Further prizes for the second and third place students and their schools brings a total prize fund of RM3,500. “We know we are only playing a very small part, but we are hopeful that this contest can bring motivation and encouragement to the children,” Mr Holloway. 


Mr Holloway
announced both short-term and medium-term programmes to look out for. At the end of November, both centres will be running holiday programmes for children. Entitled The English Games, the first programme (from 25 to 29 November) will cover the four main skills as well as a grammar review – using games as the focus. There will be no formal work during this programme, students will learn through a continual stream of grammar and vocabulary games, role play, quizzes and many other fun activities.


“The emphasis is simply on having a good time,” offered Mr Lim. “At the end of a long academic year, both students and teachers deserve a little bit of fun. But the beauty of this course is that they will learn while playing.” The course will run from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 3.30 pm.

In December, there will be a one-week workshop in the Puchong centre for students making the jump from government primary school to international secondary school. Focusing specifically at those going into an IGCSE-based curriculum, this course will help prepare students for their new school curriculum.


“This course will give them a good level of exposure to both reading comprehension questions and the writing tasks that form the basis of Years 7 and 8.” This workshop will only be available in the Puchong centre from Monday 2 December to Friday 6 December.



“We are now able to acquire Student Passes for up to one year to study English full-time in our Puchong centre,” Principal Holloway explained. “And with Malaysia’s excellent record in international English exams, especially IELTS and the Cambridge Main Suite, the country is becoming a major education hub.”


Modern English Puchong will have an Open Day at the beginning of the upcoming school holidays. The Open Day will be on Saturday 7 December. On this Open Day, parents and students can meet the teachers, talk about course content and look around the centre. There will also be great discounts available for new students enrolling for January 2020.
