Group Comments and Conclusions of the Syllabus

The syllabus is really complete and helpful. It represents a very detailed guide for the teaching and learning process. Using it in a correct way will secure students language development. What we found complicated is to make old teachers start developing lessons based on this new syllabus since they have used the old one for many years.
