Abstract

A study conducted by Mensa et al (2003) revealed that pupils performed very poorly in Literature-in-English at WASSCE over the Years. In an annual report of the West African Examination Council (2004) the chief examiner also commented on the poor performances of pupils in both Literature-in-English and English Language at WASSCE and that it could also lead to the poor performance on these subjects in even the universities. This and many other questions were raised and critically examined. This study is therefore geared towards undertaking an evaluation of the teaching and learning of Literature-in-English, in selected Secondary Schools in Bo City.
