Abstract
This study aims to explore the perceptions of Malay language teachers in the schools with Orang Asli pupils, in relation to the suitability of reading skills in Malay language drafted in Penan Asli Curriculum (PAC) and its implementation among Malay language teachers in the schools. This qualitative case study involves five research participants selected through a purposive sampling from three schools of indigenous people in Pahang, Malaysia. The data for this study was collected through semi-structured interview, observation during Teaching and Learning (T&L) and document analysis which was also being analysed using Nvivo12 software. The collected data was analyzed descriptively and presented in narrative form. The findings showed that the reading skills in Malay language in PAC are effective for T&L in indigenous classroom as it caters to the needs of indigenous pupils in terms of the inclusion of their background elements and the number of simplified as wel as gradually constructed skills. The findings also found that the implementation of PAC Malay reading skills were inconsistent as the teachers were focused on the Malay language reading skills in Primary School Curriculum (KSSR) and Literacy and Numeracy (LINUS) instruments. At the end of the study, a T&L model of Malay language PAC reading skills has been proposed to improve the implementation, as well as the Orang Asli pupils’ mastery and achievement in reading skills.
