Adult education. Continuing education 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.

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.
