Abstract
This study was intended to investigate the causes of poor performance of pupils in
English within selected primary schools in Galbet zone Garissa district Kenya.
All secondary sources that is; the articles and all other important citation by other
researchers were consulted which helped to give a clear picture of what the whole study
was meant to entail. A descriptive design was adopted since much of what was to be
presented was to be theoretical. Questionnaires and interview guides acted as the main
tools of data collection. The findings revealed that pupils are not given assignments for
English subject, lesson plans are not carried out by the teachers and teachers also
claim that they are not satisfied with the salary they get. The research study also
pointed out that most of the teachers did not have English as their first choice as a
career, and they do not use English to communicate with the pupils. It was
recommended that learners should be assessed more as English subject is taught daily.
