Abstract
Cameroon has had bilingual education at all levels of the school system since 1998. But ELT in the country has been fraught with various challenges. Cameroonian teachers work in very difficult circumstances, some of which include:
- very large classes – sometimes more than 150 pupils
- a multiplicity of first language backgrounds
- an acute lack of prescribed course books
- pupils learning in very high temperatures
- having only blackboard and chalk in a world where technological advancements are influencing classroom cultures elsewhere
Teachers are therefore compelled to adopt survival strategies that are, in some cases, not what official policy requires of them.
