Abstract:
Whatever the area of specialization, we need to acquire proficiency in English to
function. When we examine the goals of English language teaching in Ghana, it is
clear that English is taught to enable us to use the language to communicate
effectively. We need English to pursue studies in other subjects, for further studies,
for employment, for social, recreational and administrative purposes. Since English is
not our native language, its use as a medium of communication in our schools and
society, depends upon it being taught effectively as a subject in our schools.The
purpose of this study therefore, was to highlight on the various kinds of interactions
forthe effective teaching of adjectives.The study, sited at Yidania Junior High in the
KasenaNankana West of Upper East Region of Ghana adopted the descriptive survey
design and covered anEnglish teachers and 30 students who were purposively
sampled. The data were analyzed using qualitative inductive analysis approach and
presented in a narrative manner by quoting from one subject to another.Having
identified the problem, many activities were used in a form of intervention.It was
recommended among other things that for the problem to be improved, teachers be
given intensive in-service training on the modern ways, procedures and techniques of
involving learners' participation in the teaching - learning process. Government,
school authorities and other stakeholders of education also be encouraged to stock
schools libraries with books.
