| Have you encountered students who argued that the | | | | affects their apptitude towards the subjects. Thirdly, |
| learning of Mathematics is tougher than English? Or | | | | Mathematics is more of a continuous practice method |
| vice versa? It is not an easy task to explain the | | | | of learning to extract out true understanding through |
| reasons. Many factors are involved with these two | | | | many unique cases of questioning. This is not so for |
| subjects that do not allow a clear line to be drawn | | | | the English language learning which is more |
| between which is the easier subject to learn and | | | | straight-forward in nature through plain reading and |
| teach. Firstly to look at the subject themselves, | | | | writing. Therefore to enhance learning of Mathematics, |
| Mathematics is an abbreviated form of the English | | | | the student has to go through a stage of self-reflection |
| language given the many symbols used to represent | | | | to align their inclination when results are not achieved. In |
| mathematical operations and functions. If the students | | | | conclusion, the learning of Mathematics can be made |

| of language as opposed to English, the obstacle in the | | | | is presented as compared to English. However attitude |
