1.7 Suggestions and Recommendations In order to make the English Week more successful in the future, it is suggested that the duration of English Week to be extended to four week. That will enable more activities to implemented during the English Week.Second, the choice of activities must be variety to promote more participation of pupils. As the member of the school teachers, I would like to recommend the school administration to allow the pupils to watch all the activities while they were implemented.The English Language would also like to recommend the school administration to allowactivities to be carried out outside the formal school time table so that more pupils can watch all the activities at different time and place. The school administration must also take immediate action to repair and improve the quality of the school P.A system for better quality of pupils presentation.

1.8 Conclusion All the activities conducted during the English Week given priovity to the intergration of four skills. Therefore, the pupils gained a lot of information and widen their knowledge through the activities. They are also exposed to the interesting way of learning English. The teachers in English Panel have doing a good job in carrying out all the activities and they should be given the credits.
