The English language is the only language subject taught at Teso College Aloet. As the school’s only official language, as well as its language of instruction, English plays a pivotal role in learning other subjects in the curriculum.
Literature in English is taught alongside the English language right from Senior One. Studying literature in English helps to improve the student’s performance in the English language because it exposes him to appropriate language in different contexts and to a number of language resources and ingredients.
The tremendous improvement in English language performance at Teso College Aloet over the years is ascribed to the following:
1. A committed staff of ten members, including the following personnel:
- Mr. Oboi Paul, Head of Department, MA
- Mr. Oguro Anthony, MEd (Candidate)
- Mr. Ocen Samuel, MA (Dev Studies)
- Mr. Ogwang Naphtali
- Ms. Ilaleit Christine
- Mr. Okello Lameck
- Ms. Aduko Sarah
- Ms. Amuge Agnes
- Mr. Oluka Silas
- Ms. Ikano Evelyn
2. Teamwork exhibited by the staff.
3. Continued support from the School Administration in terms of resources.
4. A salubrious environment that nurtures good students
5. Its background of academic excellence that gives students the impetus to work harder.

1. Students are limited to a few available texts because we have an inadequate variety of textbooks.
2. There are no class readers that would enable students to widen their experiences and vocabulary.
3. Audio visual aids are insufficient for use in teaching.
4. Reference materials such as encyclopaedias and dictionaries are inadequate.
The department is striving to make English language captivating and easy to learn so that students can express themselves with ease.
