| description | E-Kamus is an approach introduced by Open University Malaysia (OUM) to
improve the English language proficiency of the students. Since early 2009,
English has been fully used in the aspect of teaching and learning process in
OUM. The change of using bahasa Melayu to English was indeed a great
challenge to OUM. Moreover the students were from various levels of
background and proficiency of English. Most of them lack the grasp of basic
language skills and thus affect their understanding in the teaching and learning
process. OUM had taken the initiative to provide the e-Kamus software in order
to cater to flexible and accessible education. This paper discusses the usage of e-
Kamus among the OUM students in mastering English through the ‘Double
Click’ and ‘Mouse Move’ functions without the on-line system. The process
does not need students to type the words and to highlight them in finding the
meaning. By using e-Kamus, it helps the students to find the meanings of words
more quickly, exactly and easily by using the applications based on texts like
Web browser, Microsoft Word, Notepad and others. With the usage of the e-
Kamus, OUM students will be able to follow the process of teaching and
learning effectively and to enrich their vocabulary. (Authors' abstract)
