ABSTRACT
The present study assessed English language input in Tanzanian Community-based Secondary Schools. Specifically, it sought to examine whether the input is both adequate and accurate. The study was carried out using questionnaires and interview techniques. Observation and documentation techniques were also employed for the same. A total number of 55 form three students and 9 English teachers drawn from Dodoma urban, Bahi, Chamwino, Kongwa and Mpwapwa districts in Dodoma region constituted the sample of the research in question. Data analysis involved descriptive analysis and simple statistics using tables and charts to indicate the frequencies. The findings revealled problems pertaining to inaccurate English language input in terms of pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and communicative function (meaning). Similarly, it was also discovered that students are hardly exposed to English input both at school and in the informal setting. Such situations gravely deter the students from mastering the language. To arrest such situations, all educational planners and practitioners have to address such discrepancies with vigour and zeal.
