Abstract
The study assessed the implementation of the English language Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) in Tanzanian secondary
schools, with a focus on Mtama District. The study employed the Communicative Competence Model (CCM) to guide the study.
Data were collected in Mtama District in April 2023, where the study used a mixed methods design involving random and
purposeful sampling. The study focused on 21 English teachers and 380 students, employing a complementary research design
that integrated qualitative methods such as interviews with quantitative techniques like Likert scale questionnaires. The findings
revealed that English teachers in Mtama District implement CBC at a medium level; the study sheds light on the practical aspects
of CBC performance, providing an understanding of approaches, strategies, and methods. The study concludes that the successful
implementation of the CBC is a collective responsibility, and it is crucial for English teachers to be proactive in their training
and development. The study also recommends the effectiveness of different models of English teacher training and professional
development programs, specifically to CBC methodologies and innovative teaching strategies and pedagogical approaches that
enhance the integration of CBC principles in English language teaching.
