Hence, in this study an attempt is made to find out the kind of relationship between regular and supportive English classes. Three research questions were raised: What sorts of relationship are there between regular and supportive English classes?

The questionnaires were admin istered for both English teachers a nd students. The questionnaires contained 26 items for teachers, and 20 items for students . To consolidate the inform ation obtained from the questionnaire, unstructured interview was conducted with four English teach ers and classroom observation was used. The study showed that support ive Engli s h c la sses are some w ha t related to the regular Engl ish c lasses in some aspects. For in s tance, it indicated that as supportive Engli sh classes enhance the regular class and help s tudents improve their English abi lity, there is a positive relationship between them . Moreover, the re s ults of the study revea led that Engli sh teachers themselves are conducting the supportive English c lasses .
