The document discusses the results of a survey given to staff and students at a language center. The survey found that the CALL program benefits students the most with a mean of 3.83. However, improvements are needed, especially in teaching methods and number of computers. Teaching methods received the highest mean of 4.13 for needing improvement. The number of computers also needs increasing as there is currently only one computer for every three students. New computers will be purchased to gradually meet student needs. Most respondents agreed that the facilities at the language center have benefited them. While the program has strengths, weaknesses still exist in syllabus design, teaching techniques, and lack of collaboration between staff. Overall, most students are dissatisfied with the whole program

Closoly related to Table 10 (the staff questionnaire).
The respondents respond that
CALL programme benefits the student with the highest meat of 3.83. However, improvement need to be made especially teaching methods get and the number of computers as reflected in Table 10.Q.11 where teaching methods get the highest mean of 4.13 and the number of computer with the mean of 3.57. Since CALL programme has newly been introduced, it is reasonable that there are weakness. Therefore, there is a need for holding a short training course for the staff about CALL teaching methods. This idea is in line with the interviewees, comments for the inprovement of both CALL programme and SAC. In terms og the number of computers, it is unrstood that students are asking for more because one PC is now being used by three students at thr some time. Buy by october this year about 25 new PCS will be purchased to gradually meet the student’ needs. Furthermore, Table 11.Q.12 proves that 60 respondents (80%) respomd the facilities available at SAC has benifited them. This result is supported by the staff (See Table 10 Q.10) with the highest mean of 3.63. From these result a conclusion can be drawn that the resource provision at RULC affects the students’ learning outcome which complements to the result of the students exams whose grades ranges from A to E (See appendix 4). Of 75 students 7 got A, 29 got B, 34 got C, 4 got D, and only failed. (E).
Weaknesses of the programme
Apart from its strengths, a number of weaknesses are still present ti the implementation of the whole programme of the Language Centre. The weaknesses can be seen from thr design of syllabus, teaching techniques (because not all staff are profesional in teaching the language as they come from different disciplines other than English), lack of teamwork and collegiality amongst team members which is vital to an educational organisation to succeed in its programme. Good lessons can be taken from these weaknesses for improvement to be made in the future. However, it should be borne in mind that change does not happen at once but through stages.
Overall evalation of the whole RULC programme by students and staff
Having gethered the information it is discovered that majority of students are not satisfied with the programme as a whole and the staff rate the quality of the whole programme ‘avarage’. The dissatisfaction on the part of the students may stem from.
