by Umezinwa Rose Nwakaego (Mrs.) and Okoh Frank

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate the strategies for teaching the English language skills in the primary schools in Anambra State. Two research questions and one research hypothesis were formulated to guide the study. The research design employed in the present study is a quasi-experimental design of pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group. The target population consisted of all the primary one pupils of public schools in Anambra State. Six schools were randomly sampled from a total of 1049 public primary schools in Anambra State. The sample of the study consisted of one hundred and fifty (150) primary one pupils. Two groups – experimental and control groups of seventy-five pupils each were selected for the study using simple random sampling technique. Then it concluded that pupils taught with the Jolly phonics performed more significantly than the pupils taught with the traditional method. Recommendations were also made.
