In addition, there is no difference between pre tests and post tests of students-self instruction and teacher-directed instruction.

The sample of the paperhaschosen randomly among eight sections.

The number of the sample is 21 students from first year at the College of Physical Education and Sport Sciencein the academic year 2014-2015.The results of the paperhave shown that there is no difference between students-self instruction and teacher-directed instruction in per and post tests.In addition, the teacher-direct instruction has better achievement than students –self-instruction in students’ achievement in English.
