Abstract
In this study "Problems encountered in the teaching and learning of the reading skill in English in first science section of post-basic school :A study carried out
in selected day schools of Bugendana commune in Gitega Province", the researcher tried to examine the problems encountered by both teachers and pupils during reading lessons. In fact, the school population has increased enormously over the years, while other educational inputs including teaching materials did not increase accordingly. This factor and others have a negative influence on teaching and learning of the reading skill in English. A number of factors are raised and reviewed in the study. In this study, therefore, three hypotheses were formulated as following: 1) The lack of adequate teaching materials hinders the teaching and learning of the reading skill in the science section. 2) The time allotted to the reading skill in the science section is not sufficient for efficient learning of the reading skill. 3) The attitude of pupils can affect the effective learning of the reading skill in the science section. The study was conducted with 3 teachers and 64 pupils from three schools in Bugendana commune, Gitega Province. Two questionnaires were used to collect data from teachers and pupils. The data collected with the questionnaires was analysed question by question with frequencies and percentages: The following was revealed by the study: 1) The lack of teaching materials hinders the teaching and learning of the reading skill in the Science section. 2) The time allotted to the reading skill in the science section is not sufficient for efficient learning of the reading skill. 3) The pupils' attitude affects the effective learning of the reading skill in the science section.
