ABSTRACT
showed poor awareness and poor confidence in implementing the CEFR syllabus and
research was carried out to identify lower primary English teachers’ stages of concern
and stages of concern was investigated. The challenges faced by the teachers were
explored qualitatively. The data were collected from 86 lower primary English teacher
using simple random technique. Teachers’ concern was measured using the Stages of
Concern Questionnaire established by Hall and Hord (2014) whereas the teachers’
attitude was measured with Attitude Questionnaire by Khalid, Ahmad and Hamdan
(2015). The data were analysed descriptively to identify the lower primary English
teachers’ concern and attitude. Then, inferential statistics was used to investigate the
relationship between teacher’s teaching experience and stages of concern. The findings
revealed that, lower primary English teachers are concerned about CEFR-aligned SBA
found between teachers’ teaching experience in English and stages of concern. The
findings also showcased that there was only moderate positive attitude among the
teachers in implementing the CEFR-aligned SBA. The findings of this study are hoped
to help the educational personnel at state level and district level to plan beneficial
workshops and training for lower primary teachers to assist effective implementation
of CEFR-aligned SBA.
