Framing management of social-ecological systems in terms of the cost of failure
Managing complex social-ecological systems in an era of rapid climate change and changing human pressures represents a major challenge in sustainability science. The Sierra Nevada, USA is a large social-ecological system facing a tipping point that could result in major ecosystem changes. A century of fire suppression and climate change have set the stage for mega-disturbances that threaten biodiversity, human life and values, ecosystem services,…
Policy and practice in the use of English in Brunei primary school classes
Formal education for the majority of Bruneians only properly began in the 1960s, when the country embarked on an ambitious school building programme with the intention of providing education for all. The initial plan was to use Malay as the medium of instruction, but when the country moved from separate language mediums in 1984, it instead adopted a bilingual education system, with Malay and English being the chosen mediums. Bilingual education r…

This is in marked contrast to the neighbouring and surrounding country of Malaysia where language issues, particularly in relation to the domains of the Malay and English languages, are regularly the cause for he…
Bilingual Education and Syllabus Design
This paper analyses the present syllabus used in Brunei schools. It questions the introduction and timing of school subjects, particularly in relation to which language medium is used for teaching. Assumptions about threshold levels, subject order and age are considered before an alternative syllabus is suggested. While principally devised for Brunei, the arguments for this alternative syllabus must also contain elements that would be appropriate…
Multilingualism and bilingual education in Brunei Darussalam
The official language of Brunei Darussalam is Bahasa Melayu (Malay) yet the country is diverse both linguistically and culturally. The country has a long tradition of selective English medium education and since 1984 English has been available to all. This paper looks at three facets of language and language education in Brunei. Firstly it examines the relationship between Malay and the minority languages. Secondly the relationship between Englis…
