Abstract
Over the years, the language of instruction in Nigerian schools has been English. Thus, students’ proficiency in English goes to a long extent to determine the student academic achievement in the overall. Student’s failure to understand the English language becomes a challenge in academic achievement. Performance in English determines the performance in other subjects since it is the language of instruction in schools. This study sought to investigate environmental factors influencing performance in English among students in Urue Offong/Oruko Local Government Area. The study established the influence of the training of teachers, availability of teaching and learning materials, and student’s and teacher’s attitude towards English learning on the performance in English in schools in Urue Offong/Oruko Local Government Area. The study employed a descriptive research design. Findings were presented in tables and discussions thereof. The researcher therefore concluded that teacher training alone was not sufficient to enhance students’ performance. The research further concluded that presence of learning materials was important in enhancing students’ performance in English. The study recommended that the ministry of education should provide more training for teachers to improve on their teaching methods. Moreover, the school management boards should ensure the provision of teaching and learning materials in the schools. The study further recommended that both the school administration and the teachers should work together to help the students develop positive attitudes towards the learning of English.
