ABSTRACT
Competence of English language teachers and improvement of English language
performance in Kabasis zone of Sacho division, Baringo district Kenya
Evidence from the research findings canied out by various scholars on the teaching of
English language show that most primary school English language teachers lack the
necessary competence required to enable them handle the subject effectively.
In view of the said deficiency, the researcher therefore sought to find out the competencies
needed by primary school English language teachers so as to improve the quality of teaching
/ performance and thus enhance productivity.
The researcher found that English teachers lack certain competencies which they actually
need in order to be successful in their work.
Out of the six areas looked at, the knowledge of the nature of English took precedence over
the others with a mean of 1.43, while English as a second language testing is the most needed
competency with a mean of 0,85.
The study has come up with proposals that can be used to improve the competence of
teachers in teaching of English language in Kenyan primary schools. Education policy
makers can also use the proposals to develop English language curriculum that is more responsive to learners needs.
