In the study, 42 Grade Seven students randomly and four English language teachers with comprehensive sampling technique were included. The instruments used to collect data were document analysis, students’ questionnaire, and teachers’ interview. The data gathered through document analyses and students’ questionnaires were analyzed with frequency, percentages and mean; whereas, teachers’ interview data were analyzed through narration.
