CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the study

The quality of education is directly related to the quality of instruction in the classrooms. It is a fact that the academic qualifications, knowledge of the subject matter, competence, and skills of teaching and the commitment of the teacher have effective impact on the teaching learning process (National Education Policy 1998-2010). Quality improvement in education depends upon proper training of teachers. The teachers cannot play any of the roles unless properly trained (Yadved and Singh, 1988).
Teaching is an art. It can be refined by training and practice. The availability of competent teachers is central in the reconstruction of the educational system. English has acquired the status of a global language (Crystal, 1997). Keeping in view the growing need and importance of Social studiesin every walk of life, English is made a compulsory subject in Nigerian from the very beginning of the academic career. This increasingly necessitates good quality initial preparation for non-native speaker teachers in the school system.
