researchers were consulted which helped to give a clear picture of what the whole study

was meant to entail. A descriptive design was adopted since much of what was to be

presented was to be theoretical. Questionnaires and interview guides acted as the main

tools of data collection. The findings revealed that pupils are not given assignments for

English subject, lesson plans are not carried out by the teachers and teachers also

claim that they are not satisfied with the salary they get. The research study also

career, and they do not use English to communicate with the pupils. It was
