This paper examines the teaching of English in Tanzania under four main headings, (1) changing view of language and language syllabus design; (2) the role of sociolinguistic environments in second language learning; (3) the role of objectives in second ,language teaching; and (4) the emerging trend of documenting second language teachers' classroom practices. In Tanzania there are major obstacles under each of these areas, to the application of new principles and ideas that inform second language teaching around the world. A rigid, structural syllabus dominates, the sociolinguistic context for the use of English is misconstrued and therefore the environment is not conducive to learning, contradictory objectives are pursued in the teaching of English, and there is a lack of awareness about, or motivation to document, teachers' classroom practices. The paper discusses some implications for the preparation of English teachers in Tanzania, and suggests some possible remedial strategies.
