     A study of English learning problems was carried out among a tolal of 106 foreign shows that most students

considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficultties in writing

papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant problem.

     The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we  considered  it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind  of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may

help because it is different.

     Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining  or increasing motivation. Several years  ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers  lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it  into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
