What? How? How Much? Thoughts on University English in Nigeria
Mohmed, A.
English Language Teaching Journal, 31, 1, 52-56, Oct 76
The language literature controversy should be irrelevant in an ESL situation. First-year English courses in Nigerian universities should aim at perfecting the student's linguistic competence and performance, with particular attention being paid to the practical uses of the language. The usual practice of immediately introducing the "classics" ignores the student's special problems. (CFM)
