Abstract:
What will be the future of English in Nigeria? Put more apprehensively, will the English language die in Nigeria in the near future? These questions are answered by reporting on the language preference at home of some Nigerian undergraduates in order to gauge the future of English in Nigeria. The investigation sought to determine the language(s) most preferred for communication at home among Nigerian undergraduates. From a sample drawn from students in a private Nigerian university, 66.7% identified English as the most frequently used language at home while 64.1% indicated fluency in English a

Abstract:
The study aims to examine the influence of English-only policy on students’ fluency and motivation level to speak English. The respondents of the study are 20 secondary school students in Hulu Perak who are divided into two groups; experimental group and control group. The research design of this study is quantitative through quasi-experimental and survey. A pre and post-speaking test and a questionnaire which consists of 9 items using 5-point Likert scale are used for data collection. The data is analysed through mean scores of pre and post-test between experimental and control group and the

AbstractResearch has shown that bilinguals can perform similarly, better or poorly on verbal fluency task compared to monolinguals. Verbal fluency data for semantic (animals, fruits and vegetables, and clothing) and letter fluency (F, A, S) were collected from 25 Bengali–English bilinguals and 25 English monolinguals in English. The groups were matched for receptive vocabulary, age, education and non-verbal intelligence. We used a wide range of measures to characterize fluency performance: number of correct, fluency difference score, time-course analysis (1st RT, Sub-RT, initiation, slope), cl

Abstract:
We provide the first estimates of the effect of statutes requiring English as the language of instruction and compulsory schooling laws on the school enrollment, work, literacy, and English fluency of immigrant children during the Americanization period (1910–1930). English-only statutes moderately increased the literacy of certain foreign-born children, particularly those living in cities or whose parents were not fluent in English. However, these laws had no impact on immigrants' eventual labor market outcomes or measures of social integration (from 1940 census and WWII enlistment records).

As fluency is considered a critical, perhaps foundational, component of speaking proficiency, temporal measures of fluency are expected to be strongly related to holistic ratings of speech quality.This study examines the relationships among selected temporal measures of fluency and holistic scores on

Fluency in spoken English remains a challenging yet fundamental skill for adult learners at an advanced level. Despite possessing extensive knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and linguistic competencies, a notable discrepancy arises in their ability to express themselves confidently and fluently. This paper delves into innovative research aimed at bridging this critical gap by integrating principles derived from neuropedagogy and neuroscience. The focal point lies in understanding the profound impact that the strategic integration of these principles can have on improving oral output among adul

This book seeks to provide an easy and literal approach to facilitate the Hindi medium students and non-English speakers. Generally, it has been seen that the grammar books available in the market explain the 'Part of speech' in such a complicated manner that the students are only able to learn the translation and remain confused every time because their concepts of basic grammar are not clear. This is why they are not able to get fluency in spoken English. In this book, we have tried to make the pupil think, understand and speak in English rather than in Hindi.

As Congress took up the status question in 1993, PNP delegates flashed the new language law as a clear sign of loyalty to the US.
