English Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the Problems of Teaching English in Iraqi public Schools in Mosul for the Intermediate Stage from the Teachers’ Point of View.

The study attempted to detect the factors that stand behind the weakness in teaching English and to find out suggested solutions to overcome this weakness.

In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a purposive sample of 50 teachers, covering different age ranges, gender, educational backgrounds, teaching experience and courses attended was chosen to fill out the questionnaire.

The instruments of the study were; open-ended interviews and a questionnaire.

Results showed that there are many problems in teaching English in the intermediate public schools in Mosul-Iraq.

These problems can be divided into two categories; First, problems related to teachers themselves in terms of experience and attitudes such as the teachers' need for more training courses and the overuse of the source language (Arabic) as the language of instructing.

Second, problems related to teaching-learning environment and the availability of resources in the public schools such as the danger that results from the unsecured situation in Iraq as a whole and the lack of rich libraries, resources, teaching aids, supporting materials and audio-visual teaching facilities.

Respondents suggested some solutions in order to overcome these problems mainly developing; the employment system of the primary schools' teachers to be submitted to high standards, in addition to providing service and pre-service training courses for the English language teachers.

The study suggested several ideas for further research like conducting similar studies on problems that face teaching English in other cities in Iraq.
