Abstract:
This study was carried out to investigate an important area of teaching and learning
English. It examines the present situation of teaching and learning English at
primary schools, the problems that face teachers and pupils in using creative
thoughts and activities during the learning process. This study adopted analytical
methodology. Two instruments were used for data collection which were a
questionnaire for(120) teachers and pre- and post-test for(60) pupils. Responses
were analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). The results of
the study prove that the pupils lack the right environment for learning. Moreover
the findings of the study confirm that after being motivated to a fairly
advantageous environment for learning the pupils receive higher score than before.
Thus motivation is a key factor in successful learning, the learning and classroom
environment has an important role to play in effective learning. The study
suggested some recommendations Tutors should seek to establish the concept of
creativity through encouraging the processes of independent thinking and acting.
Tutors should encourage their students to have their own ways of doing things in
an attempt to implant the sense of creativity in young learners. Tutors and teachers
should work towards designing a program with the intention of developing the
skills of young people across the country, raising their aspirations and
achievements, and opening up more opportunities for their futures.
