 There are issues that Language teachers face while carrying out their day-to-day activities in the classroom. Some of them include mother tongue interference, use of instructional materials, challenges of the modern technological facilities, confusion of the target Language and even the learners’ and teachers’ personal challenges too, etc. These challenges can affect the learning processes in Language classrooms. This paper discusses some issues faced in the Language Classroom and proffer suggestions among others that the creation of in-service training opportunities for English language teachers in Nigeria is one way of improving their professional skill; provisions for self-improvement must be allowed by the management to give the English teachers ample opportunities to develop themselves and English teachers must be motivated and encouraged in terms of favourable conditions of service.
