O.The teaching of Literature in French in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination syllabus has spanned several decades in the Nigeria system of Education. It forms an integral part of the examination syllabus together with Essay and letter writing, Translation Lexis and structure, Dictation, Listening comprehension, reading of texts, conversation and cultural studies. A lot of controversies have trailed the continuous inclusion of French Literature into the examination syllabus at this level due to some problems encountered by students which include among others: lack of interest, language deficiency and non-availability of reading texts. Therefore, this paper sought to investigate the relative importance of literature to the development of language skills in the foreign language learning programme with particular interest in French language as the second official language in Nigeria. It was affirmed in this paper that literature helps in the training of the mind, (t serves as authentic materials for language learning and it motivates the learners because it is open to interpretation and gives room for drawing inferences from the reading texts. It was also concluded that the link between culture and language should not be over-emphasized in foreign language learning programme. Language competence and cultural competence are two essential skills in foreign language learning that could be treated in isolation without doing any arm to the acquisition of these skills.Item Information needs, seeking behaviour and use for sustainable development by market women in Lagos state, Nigeria(2009) Adetimirin, A.; Adeniyi, L.This study investigated the information needs, seeking behaviour and the sources used by market women in Lagos State for development. Random sampling method was used to select 120 market women from a population of 1200 while data was collected using questionnaire and interview methods. The women needed information mostly on finance, health and economic aspects and sought information primarily from informal sources such as friends, and colleagues, in the two markets (40%) covered to improve their welbeing. Friends, colleagues, radio and television were used daily for sourcing information. Over 87% of the respondents in both markets agreed that language of information source was the major barrier to their use of various sources. The needs of these women could be met through repackaging of information from information centres tailored to suit their needs and improve their life and society.Item Sport talent identification and development in Nigeria: a preliminary investigation(Education Publishing Company, Republic of Korea, 2010) Adegbesan, O. A.; Mokgwatchi, M.; Mokgothu, C.; Omolawon, K. Q.; Arnmah, J.; Oladipo, I. O.Sport talent identification and development has become an interesting area of sport science research and the need to explore the basic fundamentals of this process necessitated the need for this preliminary investigation in Nigeria with the view to develop an ideal sport talent identification and development model that could be used for future recruitment and selection of young potencial athletes. Data was collected from 50 participants using a self-report instrument based on the talent identification and development characteristics and indicators. Results indicated that the physiological characteristic with the mean value (m = 15.26 ± sd = 8.44) was the most apparent considered variable used by the participants during the talent identification and development process when compared with other variables of motor skill, psychology, physiology and body morphology. Results on the indicators of sport talent identification and development revealed that majority of the participants, 27(54.0%) of coaches place emphases more on both the performance of basic motor skills and the combination of the anthropometrical, physical and physiological profiles of the young talented athletes during the talent identification and development process. Conclusively, this baseline information has given us insight to the future direction of this research which is the examination of these talent Identification characteristics and basic indicator using descriptive field and laboratory measures with an enlarged sample that will include sport scientists This will enable us to analytically dissolve the potentials of the young athletes into a series of measurable and non-measurable components.
