It is no more sufficient for teachers to be comfortable with the content knowledge that they have gained during their education and training. In fact, they are expected to constantly improve themselves, in content and pedagogy knowledge to cope with the rapid changes that are taking place in the school environment every day. This study seeks to find out teacher’s perception of the need for an innovative instruction model for teaching English language in secondary school in Anglophone sub system of education in Cameroon. Using the simple random sampling technique, the study made use of a descriptive survey research design where the opinions of thirty teachers were tested. Data was collected through an objective Likert scale type questionnaire. The findings from this instrument revealed that out of the 10 items used in this assessment, the teachers generally strongly agreed (mean score = 4) with 9 of these items and agreed (mean score = 3) with one item (item 6). Responses were most unanimous for item 3 as indicated by a relatively low standard deviation of 0.40 and this was closely followed by items 2, 7, 8 and 10 which all recorded a standard deviation of 0.47. Overall, respondents strongly agreed that there is need for an innovative instructional model as indicated by a total mean of 4.39. With regard to computer technology and methods of teaching, 69% of the respondent generally agreed that CAI used in class will improve on the teaching method, while 26% did not relate CAI use as an improvement tool to teaching method.
