Standardised tests such as the Malaysian University English Test (MUET) serve as key benchmarks of linguistic competency for Malaysian students. English language ability plays a pivotal role in today’s globalised environment, and standardised tests such as MUET serve as important benchmarks. It is generally accepted that the level of education and teaching that students receive from their professors is a significant impact in determining both their level of language proficiency and their performance on standardised language tests. However, the exact influence that the educational degrees of lecturers have on the grammatical precision of pupils has not yet been fully investigated. This study is designed to evaluate whether or not there is a significant association between the educational levels of instructors and the grammatical errors made by students studying for the MUET examination. The investigation will be conducted in a quasi-experimental fashion. In order to shed light on the potential influence that lecturers’ expertise may have on students’ language competency, a controlled comparison between groups of students who were exposed to lecturers with varied educational degrees will be done.
