Description:
Our research orientation has been fashioned and tailored towards the peculiar status, mission and vision of the Nigeria French Language Village (NFLV). Suffice to say that our publications have been influenced greatly along this line. There are two main areas of research interests which can be identified through our publications. French language teaching, through analyses and suggestions for replacement of existing loopholes in traditional old teaching methods with new learning and teaching approaches, such as communication, social interaction and action based methodologies which quicken language learning process and mastery for functional task resolutions with special focus on teaching and learning of literature.
The
publications make bold suggestions on the need for teachers to review their
attitude vis à vis the learners for a better productivity. The papers advocate
adoption and introduction of available strategies into teaching of literature
for a less stressful input and a better output (in terms of ability to speak
and write the French Language within the shortest time possible.

Theatre in French language teaching: prospects for learners and teachers of French as a foreign language
The teaching of
French as a foreign language has become a phenomenon that attracts the
attention of teachers as well as students. From the point of view of its
teaching, there have been problems and difficulties. Some scholars are of the
opinion that these problems are associated with the learners while others
believe that the teachers may not have been doing enough. In addition to this,
there are some who point to inadequate equipment and learning materials. It becomes
clear that there is need to look into how French can be better learnt in our
classrooms. We have also, from our experience, discovered that Departments of
French across the country are going through some tough times in the area of
teaching without seeing adequate results on the part of learners. The research
is basically geared towards finding reasons behind this trend and to introduce
better learning strategies in language education policies especially
introducing drama as part of the curriculum.
