dc.description.abstractThis thesis assesses the teaching and learning process of Literature-in-English in some selected secondary schools in Bauchi state. The research is based on the assumption that Literature-in-English, like any other subject in the secondary school, is expected to be taught in such a way that it will be interesting to both the teacher and the learner. Visits were made to the selected secondary schools in order to observe class sessions so that teachers‟ method of teaching Literature-in-English was observed. The work discovers that the teachers did not even know the basic approaches of teaching Literature-in- English. Accordingly, they still used the traditional method of the teacher centred. An attempt is made to illustrate these approaches using some selected texts in the syllabus of secondary schools. The work is divided into five chapters with chapter one being the introductory aspect of the work while chapter two is the literature review and chapter three contains the pedagogy of Literature-in-English in which the basic approaches to the teaching of Literature-in-English were discussed and observed class sessions are reported. Chapter four discusses problems observed during the class sessions. Chapter five is the summary and conclusion where few recommendations were made. The work discovered that out of the twelve teachers that were interviewed only one of them has an idea about the approaches to the teaching of Literature-in-English and doesn‟t use any. Most of the teachers were found not to be qualified to teach Literature-in-English. The work also discovered that since none of the teachers use the four basic approaches to the teaching of Literature-in-English the students‟ final result in the subject is always not encouraging.en_US
