Abstract
This research explored intervention measures to Morphosyntactic errors among the native Bukusu learners of Kiswahili. It purposed to confirm the existence of these errors among the learners as claimed by the preceding researches, evaluate the teachers’ intervention measures, and finally suggest the appropriate intervention measures to correct them. It was guided by the Theory of Interlanguage (TIL) and the Theory of L2 learning by Krashen. The IL refers to the type of language produced by learners of L2 which is neither TL nor NL. It asserts that the language of learners goes through various stages before reaching perfection in their L2 production skills. This research is qualitative. The researcher adhered to the field procedure in collecting data. Learners were given an exercise to write a composition on the same topic and fill in the blank spaces. The researcher also listened to their oral narratives to have a glimpse of their spoken language to make a worthwhile conclusion. The research involved forty students from four day secondary schools in Bungoma Central Sub-County which included Musokho Friends, Sichei Friends, Chebunyinyi A.C.K and S.A Wabukhonyi. Four teachers of Kiswahili: one from each of the four schools were also involved to evaluate their intervention strategies. Data collected was analysed by exposing the errors, categorizing them, exposing their sources, evaluating teachers’ intervention measures and recommending appropriate intervention measures. Data collected was systematically presented through explanations and tabulations in various chapters of the entire work. Not only will this research benefit teachers and learners, but also the authors of grammar course books by ensuring their books meet the learners’ needs. We hope that curriculum developers could also benefit from it as they would arrange the grammar concepts in a way that makes it easy for the learners to comprehend having realized the learners’ problems.
