Issues bordering the French language in Sub-Saharan Africa: Nigeria as a case study
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: The study examined questions related to the French language that Nigeria uses in South Saharan Africa. We look at some explanations why in some countries of Africa, particularly Nigeria, the French language could or could not have been adopted. Method: Qualitative approach was used to achieve the above objective. Findings: The results predict that the best way to tackle the issues raised in this paper is to pay attention to psycho-pedagogic issues while considering the other issues. To ascertain the French language’s survival in Sub Saharan Africa, especially in Anglophone Africa, French should be made compulsory at all levels, especially in public schools in Nigeria. This paper has called for a re-examination of the French language at all education levels, especially in Nigeria. Implications/Novel Contribution: This paper was intended to discuss the questions of Sub-Saharan Africa, in particular in West Africa, which use Nigeria as a case study, as a borderline language. This showed that in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in the English language countries, the lack of recognition and language’s value is one of the main factors that militate against the language.
