| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of grade eight English syllabus in selected primary schools of Borena zone. To this end, six primary schools were selected as sources of information from the eight woredas of th<.: zone. Within these schools, all English teachers of grade eight who are ten in number, all the school directors, and a total of 300 students were taken as actual sources of information. Questionnaires and classroom observation were the data collection instruments used to obtain information from the sources. The result of the study revealed that most of the demands of grade eigh lh English syllabus were not implemented as properly as they were intended to be implemented. Teachers' extent of implementation of the teaching learning activities found to be low. Only those roles and activities that demand from them very little effort and which they accustomed to use like' explaining/lecturing, asking questions, and making students read aloud tend to dominate the classrooms. Besides, the result of the study indicated that the majority of students have favorable interest and positive attitude towards learning English. However, as the findings of the study showed, they are not engaged in various activities, which give them opportunity to use the language. The study also noted that the physical and instructional facilities available in the schools were found to be. less suitable for effective implementation of the syllabus. Many factors were seen to affect the implementation process. The major ones are large class size, absence or inadequacy of in service training, inadequacy of the periods allotted to cover the portion, poor supply of mat rials, and students' background knowledge and language skills. Based on the result of the study, some recommendations were suggested, at least to minimize the problems that were thought to have negative influ nee on the effective implementation of the syllabus | en_US |
