language (ESL) to the students. The problem is they promote only their company through their

banners and communication to the people. It’s hard for them to do it because it takes a lot of time

CHAPTER III

METHOD RESEARCH USED

In accumulating a resources website, the proponent used different and definite method for

research. In gathering a research the proponent conduct an interview, observation, and internet

related system.

• OBSERVATION

In observation the proponent gathered data and information by noting fact or occurrences

regarding the details in the center to acquire information.

• INTERVIEW

information about the company and how they conduct their lessons online. It was given and

explained by the manager to help the proponent.

• INTERNET

We used the Internet to search for other schools/site that conducting an online ESL. One of the

school/site is the TalkEnglish. They have information regarding to their company. They have an

example of a sentence that the students can click and practice speaking by repeating after the

audio file. They decided to develop the “Click, Listen and Repeat” functionality.

SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE (SDLC)

The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a conceptual model used in project management

that describes the stages involved in an information system development project, from an initial

feasibility study through maintenance of the completed application.

• Identifying the problems, opportunities and objectives

as software is always of a large system (or business), work begins by establishing the

requirements for all system elements and then allocating some subset of these

requirements to software. This system view is essential when the software must interface

with other elements such as hardware, people and other resources. System is the basic

and very critical requirement for the existence of software in any entity. So if the system is

not in place, the system should be engineered and put in place. In some cases, to extract

the maximum output, the system should be re-engineered and spruced up. Once the

ideal system is engineered or tuned, the development team studies the software

requirement for the system.

To be able to identify the problem opportunity and objective of the website the proponent

conducted an interview with the manager to pin- point the problem regarding the center

website. Progressively the proponents identify the flow of the center during the extended

conversation problem and solution for the problem was formulated.

Determining the Information Requirement

The next phase of SDLC determining the information requirement .This process is also

known as feasibility study. In this phase, the development team visits the customer and

studies their system. They investigate the need for possible software automation in the

given system. By the end of the feasibility study, the team furnishes a document that

holds the different specific recommendations for the candidate system. It also includes

the personnel assignments, costs, project schedule, target dates etc.... The requirement

gathering process is intensified and focused specially on software. To understand the

nature of the program(s) to be built, the system engineer or "Analyst" must understand

the information domain for the software, as well as required function, behavior,

performance and interfacing. The essential purpose of this phase is to find the need and

to define the problem that needs to be solved.

The proponent will start with documentation of requirement needed in gathering

information like simple interviewing, questioning, and website work product. The

proponents analyze and manage the requirement and final output of determining

requirement stage.

Systems analysis Needs

The next phase of SDLC analyzing system needs. Refines project goals into defined

functions and operation of the intended application. Analyzes end-user information

needed, the development team pin point a possible output of a website. One such tool is

brainstorming again a special tools and techniques help the proponent make requirement

determination was applied in this phase to gathered data for a possible output of the

website.

Designing the Recommended System

the next phase, the designing the recommended system, the software's overall structure

and its nuances are defined. In terms of the client/server technology, the number of tiers

needed for the package architecture, the database design, the data structure design etc...

are all defined in this phase. Describes desired features and operations in detail,

including screen layouts, business rules, transaction and other documentation.

The proponent started to design and output the website making the environment friendly

in order for the user and client to understand quietly the website.

Development and Maintaining the System

The next phase of SDLC is the Development and Maintaining the System. The objective

of the Development Phase will be to convert the deliverables of the Design Phase into a

complete information system. Although much of the activity in the Development Phase

addresses the computer programs that make up the system, this phase also puts in place

the hardware, software, and communications environment for the system and other

important elements of the overall system.

After designing the website some tasks and activities may have been perform by the

proponents and developer documentation may be appropriate to meet some

documentation requirements Plans for conducting the activities of the development phase

should be developed, documented and executed.

Testing and maintaining the system

Before a website can be used , it must be tested .In this phase of SDLC , the testing and

maintaining the system .After the proponent generation of codes, testing of all the

modules is performed. All modules are integrated together and proper testing tools are

selected for error checking. Maintenance is necessary after the development of a

successful project. It is obvious that changes occur once the project is handed over to the

end user. The developers must develop the project in such a way that it is adaptable to

those changes. The main operation of the software must not be affected by those

changes.

The website perform a series of test different types of testing like unit testing, volume

testing, link testing, load testing, performance testing, download testing. The proponents

correct an error and state the correct way.

Implementation and Evaluation the system

In this phase the proponent initiated after the system has been tested and accepted by

the user. Activities in this phase include notification of implementation to end users,

execution of the previously defined training plan, data entry or conversion, certification

and accreditation and post implementation evaluation. This phase continues until the

system is operating in production in accordance with the defined user requirements.

The proponent presented and tested the website to the manager for evaluation. It was

tested and clearly so that the user will familiar with it.

CHAPTER V

the client to serve them.

In the interview and observation occurred, the proponents just found out that the problem

these encounter is that lack of promotion to their company and few features. They don’t have

enough features to inform the client.

Because of the said problem, proponents design a website that aims to help the future

benefits of the said company and at the same time to the owner. To lessen the problem

encountered, the proponents proposed a website that aimed to accomplish a site that will provide

promotion to the assessment center and to encourage the viewer or client to try on their

operation.

observe that there are certain things that should be done with the help of the modern

technologies for much greater benefits.

Educational Assistance Center. The proposed website will give more benefits and help a lot to the

said business.

CONCLUSION

proponents to build and design a website that would help a lot to both the owner and the

business itself.
