Thesis Abstract

Constraints to the teaching of oral English are multi-faceted and can vary across different educational settings. This research project aims to identify and analyze the major constraints that hinder effective teaching of oral English in the context of secondary schools in developing countries. The study will utilize a mixed-methods approach to gather data from both teachers and students. Surveys will be conducted to collect quantitative data on the perceived constraints to teaching oral English, while focus group discussions will provide qualitative insights into the experiences and perspectives of teachers and students. Preliminary literature review suggests that some of the common constraints to teaching oral English include limited resources and materials, large class sizes, lack of teacher training, and inadequate language proficiency among teachers. These constraints can have a significant impact on the quality of oral English instruction and ultimately hinder students' language learning progress. By identifying and understanding these constraints, the research aims to provide valuable insights that can inform the development of targeted interventions and strategies to improve the teaching of oral English in secondary schools. Addressing these constraints is crucial for enhancing students' language skills and overall academic performance. The findings of this research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on language education and provide practical recommendations for policymakers, educators, and other stakeholders. Ultimately, the goal is to create a more conducive learning environment that supports effective teaching and learning of oral English in secondary schools, particularly in resource-constrained settings. In conclusion, the teaching of oral English faces various constraints that can impede the quality of instruction and hinder students' language learning outcomes. This research project seeks to identify and analyze these constraints in the context of secondary schools in developing countries and propose strategies to address them. By improving the teaching of oral English, we can enhance students' language skills and academic performance, ultimately contributing to their overall educational success.
