There is need for Nigerians, teachers and students alike, to put in more efforts in the teaching and learning of English Language, as it is the language of instruction, if the country aims at attaining the 2020 development vision.

To achieve the objectives of this study, four research questions and four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the conduct of the study.
