| description | This study explored the problems faced by form four pupils in writing a narrative composition in three schools in Bulilima district in Plumtree in Matabeleland South Province. The thrust of his study was to explore the problems faced by form four pupils in writing a narrative composition and the possible solutions that can be employed in order to solve these problems. Questionnaires and interviews were used as research instruments and the questionnaires were administered to both teachers teaching form fours as well as the form four themselves in three different schools. Interviews were conducted to form four teaches only in three different schools. Different findings were made and these include among others that teachers lack knowledge of a narrative composition, the teaching method used by most teachers to teach a narrative composition is a lecture method which is not an effective method for such a concept probably thus why pupils are failing a narrative composition at form four, Literature review proved that the three phase approach is the best. Form four pupils are lacking practice in narrative composition writing yet practice makes perfect, both teachers and the pupils lack knowledge of the difference between a narrative and a descriptive composition and hence leading to poor performance in narrative composition writing and lastly that there are no libraries at school to boost vocabulary in narrative composition writing hence form four pupils lack appropriate language as they are not reading widely or extensively. A number of recommendations were made and these include among others that the head of schools should organize workshops where teachers of English language can interact and teach each other on how to write different types of composition especially and it should be a policy that dissertation be submitted to DSIs.During training as a teacher colleges to emphasize on the three phase approach in teaching a narrative composition in English Language The school Development Committee could embark on resource
mobilization for building a library and buying library books instead of purchasing a school bus. |
