English in the public schools in Egypt is first taught for the learners in the fifth year of schooling when the students’ age is about11 years. During the first 2 years, that is in 5th and 6th year of primary schooling, students study the alphabet of English, reading, spelling, and elementary writing. They are also introduced some grammatical terminology, categories and relations such as- nouns, verbs, conjunctions, prepositions, simple past tense, present tense, plural and singular etc. It is expected that the Egyptian EFL teachers in schools use techniques and methods which involve learners and motivate them to learn English. However, the reality seems to be quite opposite. Most of the teachers rely heavily on traditional grammar-translational method where everything is literally translated and students are supposed to memorize numerous grammar rules and structures. The teacher controls almost all the activities in the class and hardly any activity is introduced and encouraged which involves learners and stimulates and challenges their creativity.
