ABSTRACT
The study assesses the competency base of the teacher trainee in the writing of composition in Ghanaian language. Data were collected from sampled elective Ghanaian language teacher trainees from four Colleges of Education in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. Questionnaire, teacher trainees’ class exercises and structured interviews were the instruments used to collect the data. Frequencies and percentages were used to analyse the data. The study showed that teacher trainees are adequately prepared to write composition in the Ghanaian language. The preparation of the teacher trainees covered the understanding of types of composition, stages in composition writing, correct spelling and expressions, logical arrangement of ideas and preparation of teaching learning materials. It was recommended among other things that education authorities must ensure that there are enough textbooks on Ghanaian language at Colleges of Education to enhance teaching and learning of Ghanaian language. There is also the need for regular workshops for Ghanaian language tutors to update their skills in the use of teaching learning materials in their lessons for teacher trainees to emulate.
