Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find why students have a low English level and what factors they face when learning English. Furthermore, this research pursued on a proposal of a Curriculum redesign which would serve as an element to increase the level of English and at the same time avoid negative factors that hinder the learning process in English Language Teaching (ELT) students. It was assumed that the issue may originate from the Curriculum because it has been found that that it was not sophisticated enough to placate students’ needs.
