The study examined the large numbers of pupils of Services Basic School in Burma
Camp, La- Dadekotopon Municipality in Ghana who encounter considerable degree
of complexity in the use of the perfect aspect as fundamental components of the
English language in their communication. Thus, the study was carried out with the
major aim of looking into the reasons behind the failure of pupils to use the perfect
aspect of the English language in a proper manner and especially in their
communication and to assist the pupils to overcome this challenge. The study adopted
the descriptive survey design, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
The target population comprised teachers and students with an access population of
two hundred and five (205) comprising (5) English language teachers and 200
students. The research tools used were interviews, tests and a questionnaire. The
findings of the study revealed that most of the students were not able to use the
perfect aspects in their communications but had the ability to use the adverb
indications in the present perfect aspect. The grand total of the students that could not
answer the multiple test correctly was 55% which shows that most of the students do
not have good knowledge of how to use time maker in the past perfect aspect. The
study recommend that teachers should build their teaching in a way that the areas of
greater complexity should be given extra attention and care and learners should also
be drilled on the rules of tense and aspect so that they can have a clear understanding
of the perfect aspect. |
