dc.description.abstractThis article underscores the English language Teaching methods and their influence on the academic performance of the subject among public primary school pupils in Kilolo District in Tanzania. Using the descriptive research design, the study was conducted at Ukumbi Primary School, Kilolo, Iringa region to standards four and seven. The secondary data were collected using the documentary reviews from the Standard Four and Standard Seven national examinations results of English language subjects requested from the head teacher, whereas the primary data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and introspection techniques which were purposefully administered to the Standard Four and Standard Seven classes to check onto the methods of teaching English language to public primary schools and their influences on the pupils’ subject academic performance which seems to promote or deteriorate the learners’ interests in English as the medium of instruction. The target sample sizes in Standard Four and Standard Seven were randomly selected for an unbiased information search. The data collected were summarized, organized, recorded- and presented using a variety of tools such as tables, charts, distribution and graphs with the help of Excel and MS Word features which helped the interpretation of the findings to get the relevant information of this article. The findings show that most of the pupils have problems with oral communication, and pronunciation including sound, stress, and intonation as the English Language teaching methods used hardly care about their learning. The article recommends that primary school teachers should be given special training on the English language teaching methods that favour the development of communicative abilities in primary school pupils.
