This study investigates the major problems associated with learning the English Language in secondary schools within Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. The research was carried out to identify the factors that hinder students’ effective acquisition of English Language skills and to examine how these challenges affect overall academic performance. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and data were collected from students using questionnaires. The findings revealed that insufficient instructional materials, large class sizes, poor language background from home, and students’ low motivation significantly contribute to the difficulties experienced in learning English. Environmental factors such as limited exposure to Standard English and the dominance of local languages also negatively influence learners’ proficiency. Based on these findings, the study recommends improved teacher training, provision of relevant teaching materials, reduction of class size, and the adoption of more interactive and learner-centered teaching methods. It is expected that addressing these challenges will enhance students’ mastery of the English language and improve their academic outcomes.
