3.4.3. Measures to promote learning English

Responding to the question of «if you were in charge of education in Tunisia, what would you do to promote English language teaching at university?» 31% of the students proposed that «increasing the coefficient of English» is the best solution in comparison to 23% who chose the alternative of «obliging teachers to use tape recorders and multimedia in teaching English». The rest of the students (21%) chose «establishing English clubs in every university» or «increase the time allocated for studying English» (18%), and only 7% claimed that they prefer «teaching English literature and civilisation» as an efficient measure to promote the learning of English among students in the sciences.
