Pages : 272
Book Description
The study of African language pedagogy and use in the Diaspora was initiated in the 1960s as African countries attained independence from colonial powers. In the continent, the enthusiasm for the use of indigenous languages and scholarship has remained relatively moderate as scholars are conflicted in their loyalty to imperial languages. The attitude towards the use of African languages by African leaders has also hampered scholars' efforts to create and sustain the needed visibility for African languages around the world. Needless to say, the study of African languages is not only critical to the study of language theories but also important in changing Africa's overwhelming reliance on European languages to communicate with each other. The reliance has not only affected the politics of the continent but also its economic wellbeing. An analysis of the enormous developmental challenges facing the African continent will reveal that many of the economic, social, political and cultural challenges have major language components. It can actually be said that the challenges of development in Africa are either outright language challenges or are language- based. More significantly, at the social level in many parts of the continent, African languages are now perceived as inadequate means of communication. Language Pedagogy and Language Use in Africa discusses the importance of teaching and using of African languages in the African continent and beyond and provides illustrations of both their direct and indirect use a result of historical and contemporary contacts, language planning policies and pedagogical concerns. The book contributes to the on-going discussion on the pedagogy, promotion, and use of African languages both on the continent and in the Diaspora.

Book Description
This book is about breaking new grounds in the world zonal lingua franca. I am the last but not the least of my other's five children and, I was born, raised, and educated in Nigeria until 1996 when I migrated to the United States of America for further studies into linguistics research and documentation. From my tender age I recognized the importance for an indigenous universal zonal lingua-franca for my homeland and the surrounding West African (ECOWAS) member nations and began my lifelong vision by the evolution of what is now known as the Guosa language. There are currently over 500 indigenous languages and dialects being spoken in Nigeria; and about twice this number in other West African countries. Many of these languages are fast becoming extinct due to so many militating factors against West African indigenous languages and dialects. It was over 30 years ago that I completed and published the first Dictionary of the Guosa language. It is my inspiration that the adoption of the Guosa language will be embraced by the multi-ethnic and cultural fabrics known as Nigeria and other West African nations - Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Indigenous Zonal Lingua-franca for Peace, Unity, Identity, Political Stability, Tourism, Arts, Culture and Science; bridging linguistic and cultural barriers among the West African zonal countries, the United States of America, Europe and the rest of the world
