Secondly, the study is the investigation of the significant differences between teachers and students answers.

Concerning problems in English for Communication Arts learning and teaching, the results indicated that a large number of students could neither apply English for Communiucation Arts to the study of their major subject nor improve remarkably their abilities in reading, writing, listening and speaking concerning their major subjects in English. Besides, the content of learning sheets was not relevant to studentsmajor subjects, and was not research based. Also, learning and teaching aids were not sufficient for use. In addition, teachers neither informed students of their teaching objectives nor did they employ various teaching techniques. Students shyness to express themselves in public, lack of revision of lessons, low basic knowledge of English, and heterogenous levels of English competence also posed problems. Furthermore, the standards in marking were not clearly explained to all students and common standards in marking were not agreed upon. Concerning wants, the respondents suggested that the content of English for Communication Arts should be a mixture of students major subjects and students daily life, and that English for Communication Arts should be divided into English for Journalism, English for Advertising, and English for Public Relations. Moreover, various types of measurement should be used and marks should come from two sources, classwork and formal evaluations.
