“…According to Alkhairy (2013), Manasreh (2011), Pande (2013), andKhassawneh (2011), the use of a learner-centered approach when teaching ESL is important for learners' active participation in ESL classrooms. Moreover, the traditional teaching approach (the teacher-centered teaching method) has been criticized by educators for relegating education to an act of depositing whereby teachers make deposits of subject contents, and students receive, memorize, and repeat the knowledge acquired to the best of their efforts and capabilities (Freire 1996).…”

The main aim of the study is to investigate the strategies used by English Second Language (ESL) teachers to cope with their specific teaching challenges in Senior Secondary Schools in Ohangwena Region, Namibia. The study used the phenomenological qualitative research design to collect data from a purposively selected sample of 33 ESL teachers who have taught for at least two years in the Ohangwena Region. Data were collected using focus group discussions and analyzed using the thematic analysis method. The study found that ESL teachers in Ohangwena Region mainly use strategies such as motivating learners, a learner-centered teaching approach, a group work teaching approach, teachers’ teamwork, and different sources of teaching materials to cope with their respective teaching challenges. While the coping strategies teachers use have been reported to be helpful in ESL teaching, there is still a need to build the teachers’ capacity on the good practices in using such strategies to mitigate their teaching challenges.

“…This period was marked by two prominent figures, Pike (1945), who developed a system for describing American English intonation, and Abercrombie, who published several innovative articles about pronunciation teaching between the 1940s and 1950s (e.g., 1949a, 1949b). Additionally, Abercrombie wrote articles discussing the importance of intelligibility in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms and the purpose of transcription e.g., Abercrombie (1956). However, he failed to attract the scholars' attention at that time.…”

Excessive noise and disruptions in large classes can further contribute to the loss of concentration among teachers and students, making it challenging to create a conducive learning atmosphere (Pande, 2013). Many teachers express genuine concerns that they cannot address their students' needs in large classes and need help to provide personalized attention.…”

This study examines the traditional teaching methods employed in large classes within public sector colleges in Punjab at the intermediate level. Additionally, it proposes alternative approaches and strategies for instructors to manage large English classes effectively. Data was collected using a survey research strategy, employing mixed-method research techniques. Qualitative data were gathered through interviews with English teachers from selected public sector boys' colleges in major cities of Punjab. Quantitative data were collected via a questionnaire with closed-ended items administered to students within the study sample. Three public sector colleges from the target population were randomly selected for data collection. The study utilized six structured interviews with English teachers and received 60 completed questionnaires from intermediate students as data collection tools. To enhance outcomes in large language classes, teachers should concentrate on activity-based teaching, collaborative instruction, and the utilization of group work or interactive approaches. There is a pressing need for government intervention to facilitate the improvement and advancement of public sector colleges.
