For a long time the Faculty of Arts assumed a major role in providing teaching services in all these areas to students in various faculties as well as to its own students. In other faculties, however, there were three different practices. Some of them set up a teaching unit within the faculty itself and organised their own courses; others sought assistance from the Faculty of Arts, although they also offered certain courses by their own teaching staff; still others simply relied on the services provided by the Faculty of Arts without forming their own teaching unit. It was, therefore, obvious that English courses in the first two areas came under the administration of a variety of agencies within the University. This naturally brought up the issue of whether the University was really making the best available use of the human and financial resources at its disposal.
