Language Education In Africa Language Education In Nigeria Languages And The National Policy On Education Using Nigerian Languages Contact Us Fafunwa Foundation Internet Journal of Education Language Education In Nigeria LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN NIGERIA: THEORY, POLICY AND PRACTICE - Oladele Awobuluyi Natural language has many unique properties among which is that it plays dual role in most known formal educational systems. Thus it features, on the one hand, as a subject on the school curriculum, and accordingly permits one to talk of Language Education in much the same way that one would talk of Physics Education, Science Education, Economics Education, etc. On the other hand and completely unlike any of the other subjects on the curriculum, it also serves all over the world as the medium of instruction in all subjects, including itself. This latter role of it is fully captured under the title of Language in Education. Thus, Language Education and Language in Education refer to the two distinct roles that natural language plays in Education. Only the former of these two roles will be touched upon in the present discussion. Formal Western type education was introduced into the country by Christian Missionaries just before the middle of the nineteenth century. For about four decades after that initial date, both the nature and main thrust of Language Education in the country were completely left to those missionaries to decide (Taiwo 1980: 10 - 11; Fafunwa 1974:92). And given the well-known belief of most such missionaries, first, that the African child was best taught in his native language (Hair 1967:6), and, second, that the interests of Christianity would best be served by actually propagating that religion in indigenous languages, it is not at all surprising that the teaching and learning of indigenous languages received much genuine attention in those early days of Western type education in the country.
SIECUS Report: Ethnic Views Of Sexuality In Nigeria Ten percent practice one of the indigenous religions. Otherwise, sexualityissues are never discussed, and people are repulsed by such talk. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3781/is_200004/ai_n8880262
Extractions: Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. In gathering material for the fourth volume of The International Encyclopedia of Sexuality, contributors to a chapter on sexuality in Nigeria provided a new insight into the vital need for sexuality and family life educators worldwide to expand their knowledge of the cultural diversity of their local populations. Like all African nations, Nigeria's boundaries are the capricious result of European colonial conquests and power struggles that ignored ancient tribal and ethnic land distributions. To understand sexual attitudes, customs, and behavior in Nigeria, one must be aware of the diversity of tribal, ethnic, and religious traditions among its 118 million people.

A recent study established that most human languages today, are spoken by exceedingly few people. In fact, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) raised alarm that majority, of languages will soon vanish. The organisation backed its claim up with scary statistics. It said, over 50 percent of the world's 6000 languages are endangered; 96 percent of the world's 6000 languages are spoken by four percent of the world's population; 90 percent of the world's languages are not represented on the Internet and that one language is disappearing on average every two weeks.

Extractions: var site="sm5african" See also African Tribe info and african people Although wood is the best-known medium of African sculpture, many others are employed: copper alloys, iron, ivory, pottery, unfired clay, and, infrequently, stone. Unfired clay is and probably always was the most widely used medium in the whole continent, but, partly because it is so fragile and therefore difficult to collect, it has been largely ignored in the literature.

Extractions: My understanding of this type of Tribal Baule figure is that it was carved for personal use as an abode for spirits. When sacrifices were done, some of the blood was wiped on the figure so as to appease the spirit/spirits who resided therein. There are encrustations on the carving which may well be blood. Given the style and surface/patina of this Tribal wood carving, I think it might well date as early as 1900. It is 16 1/2" in height and is in superb condition. Respectfully, Daniel

Extractions: Introduction: In 1914, the Northern and Southern Protectorates of a colony, an administrative boundaries set up by the British colonialists, were dismantled and the colonies merged by Sir Frederick Lord Lugard. The merger became the first political turning point and a milestone development. It brought about the birth through the amalgamation of a unit geo-entity and nation called Nigeria. Consequently, Nigeria did not evolve through any known ethnographic origins. The amalgamation was cosmetic and that can be seen as such because there were no elements of homogeneity in the peoples that occupied the vast landmass. And then, in 1960, a new Nation State earned her right to self-determination and government. Nigeria, now a sovereign entity followed in the wake of the traditions willed to her by her colonialists. She readily embraced the English Language as her tentative Lingua-franca. This was not done in isolation as the country took due cognizance of the fact that Nigeria is a land of contrasts.

Extractions: Meet Walter Write to Walter COMEMORAÇÕES DO 5to CENTENÁRIO DO DESCOBRIMENTO DO BRASIL Falar em etnia brasileira é uma forma de simplificação, pois o Brasil foi historicamente constituído a partir da fusão de muitas etnias. Mas o que é uma etnia? Em primeiro lugar, o conceito de etnia é diferente do conceito raça. Enquanto o que caracteriza a etnia são fatores culturais, como tradição, lingua e identidade, o que distingue raça são fatores biológicos como a cor da pele, o formato da cabeça, o tipo de cabelo etc.. Assim, os membros de uma etnia compartilham de valores culturais próprios e se comunicam por meio de uma língua que é também própria. As pessoas que constituem essa população se identificam, e são reconhecidas pelos outros como membros da etnia. Faz parte de nosso jargão histónco dizerqueo Brasil foi formado por três raças, omitindo muitas vezes o fato de ser ele um país pluriético Esta multiplicidade étnica já existia muito antes da chegada de Cabral. As populações indígenas, de origem asiática, eram constituídas de centenas de etnias o que significava uma enorme diversidade linguística e cultural basta dizer que ainda hoje existem mais de duzentas etnias indígenas.
