![-]( "Adikpe") Adikpe at 28-09-2010 11:15 AM (13 years ago)  (m) The solution is, since English Language has been and will still remain
our lingua franca, we must stop that mentality of 'English is not my Mother Tongue'
and then put our interest there and learn it as it is supposed to be.
As long as I am concerned, English Language is also our mother tongue
because you don't need anybody to teach you your mother tongue, and every
child who grows up at the city also need not be taught an English Language. So,
what is the difference between English Language and our mother tongue? Absolutely,
no difference.
Take for example, the Francophone countries speaks French (which is their lingua franca)
as if it were their native language. So also we must accept and speak English Language
as our native language since it is our lingua franca. | Posted: at 28-09-2010 11:15 AM (13 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

@poster,communication is not all about speaking grammar..it's all about understanding.you can be a graduate who speaks the best English but when i comes to practicing what you studied you become nuisance...lets see communication beyond English speaking. okay | Posted: at 28-09-2010 11:26 AM (13 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |

But remember that some people can read and pass but cannot speak and vice versa.

Lets face reality what @ poster said here is nothing but the truth, we can see the massive failure in the Neco exam, fresh graduate cant get a job because they cant pass interview etc why? there is problem in our educational system and the concerned people should take note that is why we have forum like naija pals.

Aslong as sumone can understand you.Indians can barely speak good english but still they do well.But still they study very hard and they do really well.And their educational system is very high.
The grad Indians I know can speak good English, it might be heavily accented but good English all the same.... | Posted: at 28-09-2010 04:01 PM (13 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |
