This study sought to investigate techniques used in teaching English spoken language in primary schools Standard One in Mwea East District, Kirinyaga County, Kenya. The objectives of the study were to: investigate the manner in which teachers involve learners in interactive activities to develop spoken skills in standard one ant examine the integration of teaching and learning resources by teachers during lessons to facilitate the development of spoken language in standard one. A descriptive survey design was adopted for this study. A sample of 22 primary schools was selected out of the 72 primary schools in the study region and 37 standard one teachers out of the 121 standard one teachers in the region. The data was collected by use of questionnaire ,observation schedule and document analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The data was then presented descriptively and summarized as frequencies and percentages in tables and graphs. It is hoped that the curriculum developers would gain insight in development of support materials and activities for standard one learner.
