To this effect, Grade twelve English language syllabus, teacher-made classroom tests and English language teachers of this Grade level were used as sources of data. The distribution of cognitive levels both in the syllabus and in sample test papers under each language s kill was analyzed. To supplement the data that were collected through documents analyses, unstructured interview was I administered to English language teachers.
