This thesis has traced the pattern of English instruction in Swaziland from the time when schools were few and teachers poorly trained to the present. Advances made since then have been noted. One marked feature is active student involvement in the English language learning experience in classroom settings where the student communicates something meaningful and important to him. Swaziland calls this English Through Activity, abbreviated ETA.Improvement of English instruction in Swaziland is a continuing process. The thesis indicates that this improvement is happening in a favorably fast way because the people of the country themselves are taking part in controlling the content of education in their schools. This is observed through the activities of the English Panel and the content of the new Teacher Training English Syllabus. Formerly, there was very limited participation in educational matters by the Swati people directly concerned.
