Abstract

This study is an attempt to investigate the impact of the English section of the UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAM (UEE) on the teaching of English from the preuniversity teachers' and students' viewpoints. It also seeks to compare and contrast the views held by teachers and students in this respect. To this end, two questionnaires were administered to 40 teachers and 80 students of the four Educational Districts in Shiraz. The data gathered were, first, subjected to descriptive statistics and then to inferential statistics utilizing the Chi-square test. In addition, independent t-tests were run to see if there was any significant difference between teachers' and students' viewpoints with respect to the teachers' methodology. The most important findings of the study were as follows: a) the teachers gave priority to reading skill, translation from English into Persian, grammar and vocabulary. b) speaking, listening and pronunciation were overlooked. c) the teachers tried to adapt their methodologies on the basis of UEE. d) there was a significant difference between teachers' and students' viewpoints in general and with respect to factors 1 (language skills and components) and 4 (teaching and motivation) in particular and e) finally, it seemed that the overall methodology of Preuniversity English was in line with some indices of Grammar-Translation Method (GTM). Moreover, some suggestions were offered to help the Ministry of Education in general and the Department of Education of Shiraz in particular to improve the quality of English in the educational system.
