Strenghts and Weakness of programme

Strenghts 1. Source material for the training given to all students adequate. 2. All students have been exposed to this program before carrying out activities according to level. 3. Support and cooperation from all parties in the school. 4. Good time management to ensure the success of this program and assign account for a given time.

Weakness

1. There are students who are unable to do exercises properly tap the time constraint. 2. Less energy watchdog has led to follow the slow level run. 3.A lot of sheets should be used and this requires a lot of money. 4. Dictionary is not enough for many students who did not have its own dictionary.

Suggestions and recommendations

My recommendation is that this is indeed activities are basically interesting and fun. However, time constraints and the lack of provision of these activities lead to slower and less successful. But in fact, if done with good will with good results to improve the performance of English in schools. In addition, good time management in terms of length of time for students to complete the work or the work piece should be reviewed.

Regular monitoring should be conducted. Week period given by teachers for students to practice can not be done by some students. This will need ongoing exposure among students. A variety of worksheets to facilitate students' reference dictionary. Interesting and different training techniques will cause the student to enjoy learning English. Cooperation from all parties should be taken into account in making this programme.

The commitment of students and teachers also need to be upgraded. This is because the implementation is made throughout the year. If there are shortcomings related to each other would alienate one another. The construction of identity for the success of these activities should have no feeling of dissatisfaction for each other. Monitoring should be knowledgeable in each of the questions given to students.
