Abstract

Teachers’ preparation is important in the effective delivery of the course content and the competence of teachers in their respective lines of duty. The quality of teachers, therefore, depends on the quality of training they have acquired before qualifying to be called teachers. It is rather quite unfortunate that the quality of teachers of education in Nigeria is dwindling owing to the shortfalls in the country’s policy of education with the visible gaps between policy formulation and implementation. This paper adopted qualitative research design with the use of focus group discussion (FGD) to elicit data from some teachers that are randomly selected through purposive random sampling. The focus group discussion is categorised under the themes of qualification, methodology, availability of resources and evaluation process. It was discovered that many of the teachers of Literature-in-English do not have requisite qualification and knowledge of methodology in the teaching of the subject. For better performance of teachers in the subject area of Literature-in- English, there should be dedicated attention to prepare these teachers to be cognitively and Professionally competent and this should be reflected in their teaching pedagogy and methodology. Key words: Teacher education, Teaching pedagogy, literature-in English methodology
