| dc.description.abstract | English has become the most widespread language for communication in recent centuries in spite of it not being the national language in some parts of the world, like Tanzania. Though the official language used in teaching of other subjects in many secondary schools. most students do not perform well in English examinations for one reason or another. This research evaluated the perceptions of students towards learning English as a subject in secondary school. Particular attention in the study was paid to the students of St. Theresa Secondary School and St Thomas (mixed) Day Secondary School, both in Gekano, Manga Division of Nyamira District of Kenya. Collection of data was through questionnaires that were administered to students, interviews with the teachers of English, and administrators of the schools. Also used were observations of lessons and documents analysis. The information obtained was analyzed and presented in table form. Questionnaires, interviews with teachers and administrators, and observation were recorded and analyzed in oral form. One finding of the research is that students do not actually have a negative attitude towards learning English in secondary schools. Their poor performance was attributed to other reasons. Students expressed willingness to learn English in secondary school because they have seen how relevant English was to other subjects taught in school. The study is divided into five chapters. Chapter one has the introduction; Chapter two the literature review; Chapter three is the research design and methodology; Chapter four, presentation and discussion of the research findings; while Chapter five contains the overall summary. conclusions and recommendations for further study arising from the study. | en_US |
