Abstract:
The general objective of this study is to explore how teachers use instructional materials in teaching grammar in seed secondary schools in Budaka district. Teaching grammar in the English language usually requires continuous use of instructional materials. Instructional materials are any item or element which a teacher uses to deliver the best teaching experience. Instructional materials allow the students to interact with words and ideas in ways that develop their abilities in reading, listening, viewing, thinking, speaking, and writing. They also enable both the teachers and students to participate actively and effectively in lesson sessions. They also give room for acquisition of skills and knowledge and development of self-confidence and self-actualization. However, many teachers of language in seed schools do not make appropriate and adequate use of the available and necessary instructional materials to teach grammar.
