In a multilingual country like India, where educational system follows a Three Language Formula (TLF), the literacy success of children rely on the proficiency of teachers in their second language. The current study aims to assess the English language proficiency of preschool teachers of Kerala state. Results revealed that among the four domains, all the participant scored poorly for speaking and listening as compared to reading and writing. Majority of researchers scored 3 or less than 3 for all domains. Given that teacher’s proficiency in English language has a significant effect on children’s literacy development, policy makers, researchers and administrators can plan for training programs for professional development of teachers to ensure the quality preschool instruction. |
