| description | This article attempts to describe the various problems encountered in the development of the program of Teaching of English as s Foreign Language (TEFL) at the National University of Malaysia and the various attempts made at dealing with these problems. It also attempts to identify certain areas that need to be given serious attention in the subsequent development of the program, such as:
1. defining more explicitly the more appropriate and attainable general objectives of the program;
2. designing varied programs of instruction, each with specific objectives so as to create a harmony between the greatly varying students' objectives and those of the university;
3. solving the problems of learning opportunities for the students in the context of the status and functions of the TEFL courses within the university curriculum as a whole;
4. dealing with the problems of material development and planning effective use of teaching aids, particularly the language laboratory;
5. solving the problems of staffing, organization and other facilities;
6. devising avenues for inter-institutional cooperation in dealing in the field. |
