A total number of 240 students and 12 teachers were selected from the two Girls' Secondary Schools, one Boys' Secondary School and three Mixed Secondary Schools in Awka South Local Government Area. Stratified and random sampling technique was used to obtain the sample. Data collected from respondents were obtained using structured questionnaire. The results of the analysis revealed that mother tongue negatively influenced communication in English Language. Poor socio-economic background of learners, media of learning, cultural factors, deficiencies in pedagogic method by teachers, knowledge and personality of teachers, amongst others were factors responsible for students’ inability to learn English in the study area. Number of dialects found is so large that it is practically impossible to address all the accents in a classroom. The study recommended, amongst other things, that Teachers of English Language are reminded that teaching of English Language should not be geared towards passing an examination in English per se, rather the emphasis should be on the competence of students in writing, reading and speaking as well. This will help in no small measure in making them understand not only English but all other subjects that are taught in English Language....Preview Download Preview +Other English project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors affecting the choice of language in a multilingual society»Stylistic analysis of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s half of a yellow sun»Corruption and victimization in isidore okpewhotides and anthony abaghas children of oloibiri»Political corruption and symbolism in Adichie Chimamanda Ngozi’s half of a yellow sun and Okey Ndibe’s arrows of rain»Struggle and survival in a cowrie of hope by Binwell Sinyangwe and the Cardinals by Bessie Head»The society and the girl child in the bluest eye by Toni Morrison and Kaine Agary's yellow yellow»The post colonial experiences in warsan shire’s selected poems - ‘what we own’, ‘conversation about home (at the deportation centre)’ and ‘beauty’»A stylistic analysis of selected short stories in jasper Onuekwusi's the triumphant return and Chimamanda Adichie's - A Thing Around Your Neck»Analysis of political corruption and underdevelopment in harvest of corruption by Frank Ogodo Ogbeche and naira has no gender by Olu Obafemi»The analysis of thematic preoccupation in the poem - ambassdors of poverty (by Philip O Umeh)»The language of the Christian religion: A comparative study of roman catholic church and some selected pentecostal denominations»The effect of the Nigerian Pidgin English on the academic performance of university students in Nigeria - a case study of National Open University of Nigeria students in Benin study centre»The misuse of the English articles in selected Nigerian newspapers»Feminism in African novels - a study of Amma Sarkos beyond the horizon and faceless»Linguistic stylistic analysis of Toni Morrison Sula
