Abstract: This study investigates the acquisition of language skills as determinants of Junior Secondary School Student’s competence and good performance in the use of English language in Ado Local Government. The purpose of the study is to identify the extent of students’ performance in English language, determine the impacts of language skills acquisition on students’ language delivery and to determine the impacts of language skills acquisition on students in English language as a tool of wider communication in Nigeria. The study employs the use of descriptive research of the survey type. The sample consists of 200 Junior Secondary School students in Ado Local Government. A well constructed questionnaire was administered to obtain information on relevant areas from the students. The findings reveal that without a good acquisition of the language skills, students would not have a good grasp of what is being taught in the class nor would they be able to participate meaningfully in any activity. It was therefore recommended that students should be exposed to tasks that will build their language skills.
