Abstract

The present research work was carried out with the purpose of establishing the relation between teachers’ training and the learning of the English Language with the students of 8th, 9th and 10th years of Basic Education at “Catamayo” High School, Night Session. Academic Period 2009-2010.

In the field work of the research we applied the instrument of the survey as to the teachers as well to the students and during the research work we used the scientific method to give it the reliability and validity to the study; the analytic-synthetic methods to analyze and interpret the results, the descriptive method to describe the main results and the explicative one to draw some conclusions and recommendations.

Among the main results of the research, we found that the teachers’ training is affecting the students’ learning outcomes because they are not interested in their professional development.

We have also discovered that the teachers’ competences are not enough in motivational strategies, teaching methodology, assessment techniques and the teacher as planner, organizer and as a resource, and this affects the students’ learning outcomes. Their additional competences are poor in technological management and research.

The lack of training and the poor professional teachers’ competences are reflected in the students learning outcomes because their average is placed in a regular level and this have supported us to prove the hypothesis stated in the project.
