Abstract:

In spite of the fact that methods abound to teach English language effectively and even to make the language class more friendly and interesting, the ill- qualified teachers do not employ the right method to make the English lessons learner-friendly. This paper therefore assesses the English language in Nigeria, the common challenges in the language classes, classroom environment for language teaching and learning, and a learner-friendly language class. Specifically, the paper looks at teachers’ leadership style in language class, concept of Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) and strategies for promoting a learner-friendly language class in Nigeria. Finally, the paper x-rays the presentation techniques for promoting a learner-friendly language class with useful recommendations to language teachers.
