    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-07) Kebede Yichalewal; Dr. Geremew Lemu
    The objective of this study was to assess teachers’ implementation of active learning techniques in English classes in Meskerem Secondary School. Descriptive research design was employed. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used to conduct the study. Data were collected through classroom observation, questionnaire and interview. The findings of the study indicated that the teachers had good understanding about active learning techniques; however, during the classroom observation, the teachers were observed while employing only lecture and question and answer method frequently. They encountered challenges while implementing active learning techniques. The results showed that the challenges that hamper the implementation of active learning techniques in the teaching learning process were large class size, immobility of seats, time constraints, and students’ unwillingness and lack of interest. The study also revealed that English teachers were accustomed to implement teacher-centered method of teaching because of the aforementioned challenges and lack of commitment. Thus, based on the findings it was recommended that teachers should be committed and give emphasis to effective ways of practicing active learning activities in English classes. Key words: active learning. Teacher centers, discussion, pair works, learning techniques.
