This paper therefore assesses the English language in Nigeria, the common challenges in the language classes, classroom environment for language teaching and learning, and a learner-friendly language class. Specifically, the paper looks at teachers? leadership style in language class, concept of Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) and strategies for promoting a learner-friendly language class in Nigeria. Finally, the paper x-rays the presentation techniques for promoting a learner-friendly language class with useful recommendations to language teachers.
