Students Perceptions of Effectiveness of Course Contents, Supplementary Material and Tutorial Support in Phonology Course offered By Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad
This study has been conducted to evaluate the Phonology course offered by the Department of English Language & Applied Linguistics, Allama Iqbal Open University, Islamabad, Pakistan. The research is a descriptive evaluation study that aims to investigate the effectiveness of the course. It is based on the feedback of the students regarding the effectiveness of course contents, supplementary material, and tutorial support. A survey-based questionnaire was designed, which sought students opinions about the above three areas. The questionnaire was administered to 24 students studying at one of the 26 study centers. The data have been analysed statistically/quantitatively as well as qualitatively. The study found out that the textbook needs to be revised/rewritten with the latest teaching techniques included in it. The supplementary material needs to be made more relevant, and the quality of printed and recorded material needs to be improved.
