Nigerian Learners' English Sentences (Paperback)

The book evaluates the sentence formation problems and prospects of the 720 randomly selected senior secondary school learners from senior secondary schools located in the southwestern region of Nigeria. Furthermore, the study examines critically the sentence type inputs in the grammatical units of three commonly used English coursebooks and teaching syllabuses designed for these target learners. It is from these background linguistic data that salient pedagogical recommendations were made with regard to the presentation of English sentence types and other problematic grammatical points to English as second language learners.
