Abstract

This study investigated the implementation of the English Language curriculum in selected senior secondary schools in Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria.The study adopted the survey research design. The population comprised English Language teachers in selected senior secondary schools in Ibadan North Local Government Area, while a sample was drawn from five selected schools. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed in line with the research questions. The instrument was subjected to appropriate validity and reliability procedures before administration. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, including frequency counts, percentages and mean scores.The findings revealed that the implementation of the English Language curriculum in the selected schools was generally moderate. The study further showed that teachers made use of instructional materials, although the availability and adequacy of such materials varied among the schools. Teachers also employed different assessment practices to evaluate students' learning, but some challenges limited the effectiveness and regularity of assessment activities. It was therefore recommended that relevant educational authorities and school administrators should provide adequate resources and create favourable conditions for teachers to implement the English Language curriculum effectively
