1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Failure in English language is a great
problem facing junior secondary Education system in Nigeria. It has eaten deep into
secondary and tertiary institution.
Despite the fact that the students are
not sound in English language, their teachers do favor them by giving credit in
the said subject. The government has also mandated it that there should be no
record of failure on the part of the student. In secondary school the student
find if difficult to perform excellently because they are not well grinded in
English language. Taking a look at their result in primary school level compare
to that of secondary school, it does not tally.

danger in the problem has been identified by the general public at large. The significance
and importance of English language have lost meaning among student. Nowadays
students do not take English language seriously, they do not attach any
important to the subject. Events have shown that the issue of failure in
English language is not only peculiar to Nigeria alone, it happens all over

regular and private schools student that sat for school certificate
examination, only few manage to get a last credit in the subject, others

mention the extent to which some parent and guidance go about the issue. It is
well known fact that many unscrupulous parents do not really encourage their
children to put interest in English language that although it is a borrowed
language in Nigeria
but it should be taken with seriousness, there is the problem of low morale and
morals of teachers. Teachers have suffered status degradation and their
committee plummeted. In this study, the opinion of teachers and students will
be known in respect of who is to blamed for failure in English language. It
will also research into the causes and consequence of failure in English
language in the life of Nigeria
society and hereafter, solution and recommendations based on the findings will
be made.
