Candidates' Weaknesses
Many candidates portrayed lack of in-depth knowledge of the texts, thus they provided
scanty answers to questions.
Some candidates' answers were out of context and too general and without close
references to the texts.
Suggested Remedies
(1) Schools, Government and parents should endeavour to buy the prescribed texts for the students to study. .
(2) Qualified graduate teachers of English/Literature should be employed to teach
Literature-in-English in schools.
(3) Extra curricular activities that could promote reading culture among the students
should be encouraged.
(4 ) Government and other stakeholders in education should organize workshops and
seminars for the training of Literature-in-English teachers.
(5) Teachers should endeavour to attend W ABC Marking Coordination as a form of
training programme for teachers of Literature-in-English as this will assist them in
teaching the subject better in class.
