Abstract
The researcher's aim was to survey the availability, acquisition,
improvisation and utilization of instructional resources for teaching/learning
English in primary schools. The emphasis of the study was to establish
which resources were available and accessible for use by teachers and
pupils; how these resources were acquired and used by teachers and pupils;
whether teachers were appropriately up-dated on the best use of resources
and whether there were any problems encountered in the acquisition and use
of these resources.
The study was carried out using a simple survey design where questionnaire,
observation/checklist schedule and informal interview were used. The
research was done in Kisumu Municipality. The sample consisted of
teachers of English handling upper primary classes in four randomly selected
schools. Four lessons were observed by the researcher to counter check the
information obtained from the questionnaire.
Information gathered was then analyzed and presented in tables as
percentages, which was then interpreted.
