GOVERNMENT POLICIES REGARDING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING AND THEIR IMPACT ON STUDENTS' LANGUAGE LEARNING AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL

Abstract

Students and teachers face challenges when the Government changes its policies and rules. The current study aimed to investigate the challenges that students and teachers face when the Government changes its policies. Using a pie graph through a questionnaire, 100 participants, including teachers and students, were assessed. The results were analysed using SPSS, and it was found that English language learners experienced difficulty when the Government changed the syllabus and Exam patterns. They also found that teachers struggle to teach effectively because they are not adequately trained to cope with the rapid policy changes and their impact on students' learning. Teachers' training and the integration of technology are essential for effective language learning.
