Evaluation and diagnosis of the english language self access centre in the primary schools in Kuching-Samarahan

The study aims to evaluate and diagnose the SAC in the primary schools in the Kuching-Samarahan Division. This study is conducted on 10 primary schools. Two instruments were used. A forty-two items questionnaire was administered to 35 SAC primary school teachers. A semi-structured interview was conducted on 20 SAC primary school teachers from the 10 schools. The findings showed that several SAC in the Kuching-Samarahan Division were dormant due to no proper learner training given to the pupils, lack of teacher training given to English teachers, inaccessibility of materials and facilities by pupils at their own free time as well as poor management of the SAC. The study also recommends a few suggestions on how the SAC could be carried out and managed so that the centre can be improved
