 What design would you propose to improve the English subject in that school? 


 In our consideration the design in this particular school has to be completely improved. The teacher didn’t encourage the students to speak the second language, only the content of the textbook was the objective. The teacher’s and students motivation were very low, because she didn’t develop a design for an instructional system. The student’s role of learning should be the role of a processor and performer. The teacher should be achieve the role of consultant catalyst and guide, for example by encouraging the students of speaking the second language and include more teaching activities.
