Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the problems teachers face in teaching reading skill in English class room. For this reason, this investigation was made on teachers' factors that teachers faced when teaching reading skill in class room. The study was conducted in a sample of 5 teachers and 105 purposefully selected grade nine students of Acheber Chefe Secondary school. To collect the required data for the study, questionnaires, Classroom observations and interview were used. The quantitative and qualitative data gathered through these instruments were processed, analyzed and presented using descriptive statistics. The findings of the content analysis and the teachers’ profile were used as background information for the further analysis of the findings of the study. Then using frequency and percentage, descriptive survey design was employed to analyze the responses in each item in the questionnaires, the class room observation and interview. The analysis showed that there were some factors that teachers faced when they taught reading skill in class room. Those were the followings: lack of teacher’s preparedness, lack of in-service training, lack of enough payment for teacher, lack of team teaching in the school, difficulty of language to the students, lack of enough budget for the school, lack of parental support for students at their home, lack of additional reading materials in the school. Finally, it has been recommended that in order to minimize those challenges government, ministry of education, school administers, school’s committee, teachers do together to overcome those problems.
