This is a summary in outline form of the English language teaching situation in Cameroon. Cameroon is officially a French/English bilingual state but English at present plays the minor part. There are five francophone and two anglophone provinces with populations of five million and one and a half million respectively. In the anglophone provinces English is the medium of instruction in primary and secondary schools and teacher training colleges. In the francophone provinces, English is taught as a subject in secondary schools and a beginning has been made to introduce English into the primary schools. In the government schools and better private schools it is taught five hours per week in the first two years and three hours per week in the remaining five years. There is a great difference between the public and private sectors in the quality and quantity of teachers. In the main the supply meets the demand in government schools, but in many private schools there are grave shortages. The British Council is involved in the teaching of English in two main ways: (1) as the recruiting agency and administrative support for certain personnel; and (2) in giving advice and assistance where possible.
