Abstract

This work is concerned with the growing short-comings in teacher preparation and education and the worry is daily re-enforced by further degradation of the system. Ukeje (2006) while discussing teacher education said “It is axiomatic that the educator must first be educated. But here in Nigeria, a situation has existed where most educators are, at best, half educated”. This is an unfortunate situation because the expectations are high in the 21st century which is characterized by ‘knowledge economy’ (Nzewi 2009). Therefore the need to re-engineer teacher production for effectiveness in the 21st century. This work re-presents a comprehensive English Language curriculum and suggests the use of workshops to improve the standard and effectiveness of teachers of English bearing in mind the enormity of the role of the English Language in the education system of this country.
