Based on the results of the analysis conducted, it was found that there was an increase in learner skills.

Ditemukan juga kendala yang dihadapi pengajar sebagai bentuk evaluasi bagi pengiriman tenaga pengajar di tahun berikutnya. Kekurangan tenaga pengajar dan alokasi waktu merupakan problematika pembelajaran berbasis teks yang membutuhkan pengulangan dan fokus pada pemelajar.
