Abstract
This paper examines language teaching and learning theories in a bid to consider evolving and
appropriate approaches and methods for efficient teaching and learning English as a second language in
Nigeria. While traditional approaches do provide a solid foundation for effective language teaching, they do
not always address students' situational and current needs. Hence, the study reveals that strategies and
methods are evolving especially, in this hi-tech age, to meet such additional needs. Since no one theory or
method is the best, the study recommends a principled eclectic approach for the effective and functional
teaching and learning of English in Nigeria. It also suggests processes that could enhance teaching and
motivate learning in the ESL classroom.
