Oh My English! is a Malaysian educational comedy series which debuted on 20 May 2012, on Astro TVIQ. The series ended on 17 December 2017.
Development
The TV series is a collaboration between Astro and the Malaysian Ministry of Education as part of an initiative to improve the pronunciation of English among Malaysians, in line with the ministry's "Upholding Bahasa Malaysia, Strengthening English" or (MBMMBI) policy. Astro worked with the ministry since 2009 to publish world-class learning programs to schools throughout Malaysia through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Kampus Astro. This project has also equipped 10,000 schools in Malaysia with flat-screen television equipment, Astro decoders and 17 education and information channels including History channel, Discovery, National Geographic, Astro Tutor TV, Astro TVIQ and others.[1]
Synopsis
Season 1
A design school called SMK Ayer Dalam has a ‘3 Merah’ class which is famous as a class that has a variety. No teacher wants to teach in this class because his students are known for their very naughty attitude, like to make noise and their worst academic results in the school. Their least favorite subject is English.
Finally, an English teacher named Henry Middleton (played by Zain Saidin) appeared. Henry's unique and encouraging way of teaching has been able to attract the attention and interest of students to learn English.
Season 2
Mr. Middleton has changed his mind not to return to the UK. She continued her work in Merah Class 3, and learned more about her 'new home' country.
Season 3
Oh My English see you again with the 3rd season! This season students travel outside the school grounds, moving into the future, and the past as well as tours outside Ayer Dalam.
Season 4 - Class of 2015
Class 5 Merah will face the SPM examination. The relationship between Mr. Middleton and Cikgu Ayu are increasingly threatened due to the presence of new teachers. Taylor Marie Smith from America has participated in the student exchange program to SMK Ayer Dalam.
Season 5 - After School
SYS has been kidnapped by a mysterious man who wants SYS to be his protégé. SYS needs help from Zack and Jibam. They are also accompanied by an A.I virtual clock that is Mia who often corrects their English.
Season 6 - Level Up!
Class 3 Merah will receive some new teachers. Among them, Mr. James Blond (Mark Odea) is a confused and unassuming person. At the same time, he tried to win the hearts of the students but his intentions were often misunderstood and caused harm to himself. Zack (Juzzthin) and Jojie (Nadiya Nisaa) returned to SMK Ayer Dalam but now they are teachers. Ms. Jojie teaches Physical Education (PE) and Ms. Zack teaches Music Education.
Characters
 | This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: A grid-style character list should typically only be used in addition to prose character lists. Prose lists should contain brief character descriptions, (who the character is, what role they play in the series, etc.) along with real-world content about casting, departures, etc. Once sufficient prose content has been added, the section (considering how large it is,) could be broken off into a separate List of Oh My English! characters article. See List of Millennium characters for an example of what sort of content should be included. (December 2016) |
