A survey of the San Diego City Schools English Language Program was carried out in December 1982. Based on the results of the survey, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) the survey shows a generally negative perception of the English Language Program; (2) all groups responding perceived themselves as doing a thorough job of implementing the program; (3) more and/or better inservice training is needed; (4) teachers feel there is not adequate time in the school day to implement the program as written; (5) pacing schedules are not appropriate; (6) a well-designed element of homework is needed by the program; and (7) teachers perceive the program as lacking in opportunity for teachers to grow in professional expertise or for students to grow in creativity. Several recommendations for program improvement are made, some of which were instituted immediately after the survey. (BW)
