ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING IN MULTI CULTURAL SOCIETY; THE CASE OF NIGERIA.pdf Download (5MB) |
Abstract
The National Policy 011 Education for Nigeria stresses the place of language teaching in Nigeria. This paper explores the challenges facing English Language teaching in a multicultural society like Nigeria. Both the National Policy on Education as well as the cultural policy for Nigeria all point to the very important position of language in culture and in Education. Using the theory of cultural relativism, this paper agrees that the English culture (EC) as well as the indigenous (IC) are equally important and none is superior to the other. It further notes that the Target language (TL) should take into cognizance the culture of the local populace and proceed to incorporate it into the language teaching classrooms .It should form part of what has been referred to as Standard Nigerian English.
