To reach rural populations, the University of Namibia hires part-time faculty with varying qualifications on one-year contracts to conduct distance education. A study of these teachers' classroom behavior and attention to course content, based on observations made by their full-time faculty supervisors, suggests that they are substantially lacking in teaching and communication skills.

The focus of this study is errors made by students using English at the Polytechnic of Namibia. An investigation into errors and their causes peculiar to Namibia is significant insofar as it enables the researchers to develop a methodology in teaching to help students to avoid committing mistakes that they make normally. This study, therefore, has far reaching implications in English Language Teaching and pedagogy in the country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
