    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2024-12) Olufunmilayo Prosperity LAWAL
    This study examined the influence of instructional resources availability and students’ motivation on academic achievement in Oral English among students in public secondary schools in Ibadan North West Local Government, Oyo State. Various educational stakeholders, have tried to improve academic achievement in Oral English, success has been limited. While similar studies have explored these factors in other regions with varying results, there is a scarcity of research examining the combined influence of these specific variables in this context, highlighting a gap in the literature that this study aims to fill. To guide the investigation, three research questions and two hypotheses were formulated. The study employed a descriptive survey design, targeting SS2 students in Ibadan North West Local Government (N=2055). A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select a sample of 281 SS2 respondents. Data were collected through a self-developed questionnaire (SAAOEQ) and analyzed with both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed low academic achievement levels in Oral English, along with low availability of instructional resources (x̄=1.98) and low student motivation (x̄=1.96). The combined influence of instructional resources and students’ motivation had a significant impact on academic achievement in Oral English (Adj. R²=0.132; F(2,276) = 22.109; p<0.05). The relative influence of instructional resources availability and students’ motivation significantly influences academic achievement in Oral English (. Each independent variable also significantly affected academic achievement individually (p>0.05). To address the low academic achievement, one key recommendation is the implementation of comprehensive professional development programs for teachers, focused on enhancing instructional practices and resource utilization in Oral English.
