Étude Descriptive et Comparative du Programme de Français au Nigeria et en Saskatchewan

Teaching and learning a new language in a culturally and linguistically diversified country can be very challenging, and Nigeria is no exception to this. Although the country has declared French as its second official language in 1996 in an official declaration by the late Head of State Sani Abacha, over two decades later, Nigeria still struggles to have in place a good French language program that favours the production of students who are efficient and confident in their practical knowledge of French language. This study concerns the language in education policy of two communities: Nigeria and Saskatchewan, Canada. More specifically, it examines closely the French program in both communities, with emphasis on the Nigerian experience. Thus, it seeks to identify the challenges and the weaknesses of the program and their repercussions, it proposes that the Core French program currently being practiced in the country be replaced with a French immersion program, using Saskatchewan as an example.
