Suggestions and recommendations. The school administrative should get involved and give necessary aids to the English Panel in carrying out this programme. They can make it as the school programme by involving all the teachers or the whole school in this programme. Thus, the English Language teachers those who run this programme would have more time to concentrate in the core objective of this programme; imparting the knowledge of English rather than the administrative and clerical work during the English in programme. Some allocation of funds should be channeled by the school authority for this programme as the members of the English Panel could buy presents for the activities in the camp. Conclusion This programme is very meaningful for the pupils because during the three days, they have to learned many new activities and they have tried at least at their minimum level to use English with their friends and teachers during the English Week. Thus, this programme should carried out in the future and the school should make it as its annual programme. The English panel also hoped that to further improve the 2012 English Week in order to make use of English language more visible in this school.
