| dc.description.abstract | A qualitative case study investigated the constraints encountered by Grade 10 teachers in teaching English as a Second Language in rural areas of the Oshana region, in Namibia. The convenience sampling techniques were used to sample the 10 schools for participation in the study. Using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews as instruments, the study investigated, firstly, the constraints teachers encounter in teaching ESL; secondly, the kind of support teachers in rural schools receive from the Ministry of Education, the Oshana Education Regional Office, and other educational stakeholders; and thirdly, the perceptions of teachers of ESL towards the teaching of the English language. The study found that there exist generally positive attitudes towards the English language in rural areas of the Oshana region. The study concludes that the major constraints that JSC teachers encounter range from lack of materials to teachers’ poor English language proficiency and the effects of error fossilization and error inheritance. | en_US |
