Abstract :
The document presents a comprehensive
study on the factors affecting English language
proficiency among G.C.E. O/L students in Northern
Province, Sri Lanka. It delves into the significance of
English proficiency in today's globalized world and
identifies the unique challenges faced by students in this
region, including inadequate resources, lack of
motivation, and limited language exposure. The study
also highlights the disparities in English language
education within different zones of the Northern
Province and emphasizes the need for targeted
interventions. Through a mix of quantitative and
qualitative research methods, the study aims to analyze
these factors deeply to propose actionable strategies for
improving English language education outcomes. It
underscores the importance of enhancing teacher
training, revising curriculum to be more interactive and
communicative, and ensuring equitable access to
resources and opportunities for language practice. The
document calls for a collaborative effort among
policymakers, educators, and the community to address
the root causes of the lack of proficiency and to empower
students with the necessary skills for academic and
professional success in a global context.
