The findings of the researchinclude learning of English for both integrative and instrumental reasons with 'for gettingimportance' as the most commonly chosen reason. 100% students showed willingness toattend the language class, yet a number of them find it boring and gave suggestions relatedto improvement. Students showed a lot less satisfaction towards their teacher and theteaching method and suggested proper teacher training along with some other things.Suggestions are also given on the improvement of the content of syllabus, yet it needsfurther investigation. The most dissatisfying factor brought forward by this research is theassessment system, so the research definitely calls for the introduction of a proper improvedassessment system.
