.          SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT

(1)     Teachers of French should practice all aspects of Oral French with the students
         before the examination. They should also drill the students more on question    
         ouverte.
(2)    Teachers should encourage the students to give their responses in French during
        classes. They should expose the students to more drills on spoken French.
(3)   They should be more involved in the teaching of the basic grammatical rules at each
        lesson.
(4)   They should encourage the students to read French novels and journals to acquire
        more vocabulary.
