Another problem concerning these students is that,
while their secondary school teachers are not competent
at spoken language skills, the university instructors are,
but the problem is that students are not at the level of
proficiency to make the professors communicate with
them in English. The other pressing limitation the
students mentioned in open ended item is the short hours
which do not let university professors, work on four skills
adequately. Overcrowded classrooms in universities, is
another problem. The large number in the classroom
results in instructor's limitation in applying effective
communicative methods with almost no student talking
time in the class.
