ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to find out factors affecting students academic performance in
Luganda Language and was guided by the following objectives finding out the influence
of socio-econOmic status, teaching methods and instructional materials on students
performance in Luganda Language in secondary school in Busujju Sub Country Mityana
District.
Across sectional survey research design was applied and a qualitative research
approach used. A systematic random sampling technique was applied to select four
secondary schools from which a sample size of 100 respondents both males and
females were purposively selected. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistic where
frequency table and percentage were applied.
In research findings indicated that socio-econOmic status most especially elements of
family size, parents occupation, feeding at home, financial support, teaching method
and instructional materials were found to have contributed concluded that children’s
experiences at home are critical to language growth and learning, application of
different teaching methods is the only remedy to the poor performance in Luganda
Language and insufficient reading materials deters students’ communication
competence there by deterring there general performance in Luganda Language. As a
research I recommended that teachers need to increase their understanding of the
linguistic features of language and that specialized context knowledge, is essential for
teaching reading just as it is in the maths and science. Future research should
investigate the ways in which multiple aspects of the have learning environment jointly
contribute to development outcomes in children’s language performance and also the
ministry of Education and Sports together with school administrators need to ensure
that school budgets annually reflect the purchasing of up to date and variety of a study
materials. Schools should not only look at textbooks as the only materials necessary for language performance.
