    Secondary Students' Exposure to (Non) Yoruba Traditional Mass Media in Ibadan Metropolis: Educational Implications in a theoretical Perspective
    (2023) Akinsola I. T.
    The study assessed and compared secondary school students' exposure to Yoruba and non-Yoruba traditional mass media, as well as the educational implications. Three research questions were answered. The study adopted the survey research design. Three hundred and fifty (350) SS II students randomly selected from 10 public secondary schools in Ibadan metropolis responded to the self-made questionnaire titled Students' Questionnaire on Traditional Mass Media Exposure (r=.73). The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that secondary students were highly exposed to Yoruba traditional mass media (weighted mean=3.27>2.50) and Non-Yoruba traditional media (weighted mean=2.91>2.50), with no significant difference in the two. The study concludes that if the Yoruba traditional mass media are more accessible and related to students' cognitive and affective need in Yoruba studies, students' exposure to them may increase. It is, therefore, recommended that traditional mass media companies should portray more of the Yoruba culture and heritage in their productions and services

    The reflection of teachers in selected Yoruba comic films:a satire and a label
    (2018) Akinsola I. T.; Adeyinka, A. A.
    Teachers are professionals who develop and nurture young individuals into responsible and productive citizens. As such, the teaching profession is a noble profession which is expected to be respected by all and sundry in the society. Teachers as role models, who are professionally trained and certified, are men and women o f integrity, commitment, contentment and discipline. However, most people today do not see them this way, especially in Nigeria. This is partly due to the acts offew culprits, which the selected comic films satirize jocularly looking at the films from the perspective of sociology of literature and partly due to the way our society has labelled them, looking at the films from the perspective o f labelling theory in sociology. Hence, the reflections o f teachers in the selected Yoruba comic films are seen, in this paper, as both a satire and a label. The connection between comedy and satire in the Yoruba society suffices for seeing the reflection as a satire. This, on the other hand, is seen as a negative label on teachers in the society, as persons labelled are to behave in line with their label: according to the labelling theory. Therefore, while it is important that literature, in which film is a genre, satirizes societal ills, it is equally important that literary artists do not blur the social image of certain people. If this would be achieved, this paper concludes that generalisation must be avoided while satirising societal ills

    Influence of Mother Tongue Interference on Senior Secondary School Students' Articulation of English Sounds in Ibadan North Local Government Area
    (2019-06) Akinsola I. T.; Olaosebikan T. O.
    This study investigated the influence of mother tongue (Yoruba) interference on secondary school students' articulation of English sounds in Ibadan north local government area of Oyo state. The study adopted a descriptive qualitative research design. Two public secondary schools were randomly selected in Ibadan North and five students, whose mother tongue is Yoruba and who accepted to participate in the study, were purposively selected from each school. Ten (10) purposively selected students took part in this study. English Sounds' Pronunciation Passage (ESPP) was used for data collection. Students 'pronunciations were tape-recorded and transcribed accordingly for content analysis. This was used to answer the two research questions raised. Findings, thus, revealed that students found it difficult to articulate English consonant (/z/JY\/,/d/,/0/,/v/) and vowel (73 • /,/a/,/a:/,/A/,/D ■ IJcel,/i:IJ.3 ■ /Ju:/,/S\/,/i3/,/ei/Jdtd/,/Za/,to3/,/la/) sounds correctly because of interference from their mother tongue (Yoruba). Hence, the sound system o f the students' first language (Yoruba), to a great extent, negatively influenced their articulation o f English sounds. It was, therefore, recommended, among others, that teachers should lay more emphasis on the areas o f differences in English and Yoruba sounds while teaching oral English in classes where majority o f students are Yoruba native speakers.

    Awareness of Sustainable Development Related Themes in Selected African Literature-in English Texts among Senior Secondary School Students in Nigeria
    (2023) Olaosebikan T. O.; Akinsola I. T.
    This study, hinged on the tenets of the sociology of Literature, examined the portrayal of themes related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, henceforth) in two (Lonely Days and Harvest of Corruption) African Literature-in-English texts recommended for Nigerian senior secondary school students from 2016-2020. The purpose of the study was to investigate students’ awareness of the SDGs-related themes that are portrayed in the selected text. The study adopted a mixedmethods research design. Quantitative data were collected from 150 Literature-in-English students, using a Questionnaire on Students’ Awareness of Sustainable Development Themes in Literaturein-English Texts (r = 0.73 and analysed using descriptive statistics. The two selected texts were also analysed thematically. Findings revealed that students’ awareness of the sustainable development themes in the texts was low despite the high portrayal of such themes (corruption, unemployment, justice, women’s subjugation and inequality, women’s economic independence,empowerment, and environmental degradation) in the texts. It was recommended that Literaturein-English teachers should emphasise the themes students and the citizenry at large could learn from the prescribed texts.
