As can be seen from Figure 1, students were seen attributing to English teaching problems at a high level while problems involving teachers, curricula and textbooks, assessment and other factors contributing to successful teaching problems were rated at a moderate level. The highest and lowest ranks of each category are as follows:
3.2.1 Problems Involving Teachers
The respondent-teachers moderately agreed with the problems involving themselves. The top five highest ranks of their problems were concerned with 1) teaching writing, 2) incorporating experiential learning into English classes, 3) their own minimal use and/or exposure to English, 4) teaching listening and speaking, and 5) using games and songs effectively in English classes (mean scores: 3.35, 3.29, 3.21, 3.06, and 3.06 respectively).
In contrast, they showed a low level of agreement with four statements concerning 1) their dislike of teaching English, 2) their lack of English teaching qualifications, 3) problems with teaching vocabulary, and 4) problems with teaching grammar and structure (mean scores: 1.62, 2.18, 2.38, and 2.44 respectively).
