The oral literacy skills of language lay a solid foundation for other skills. This paper aims at exploring the teacher role of oral literacy facilitation in the early grades. The paper is a qualitative type. Thematic explanatory and descriptive approach were used. Population for the study was all primary schools in a deprived district of Volta Region in Ghana. Fifty early grade classrooms were purposively selected in four circuits in the district for data collection. Observation, interview, and focus group discussion were the data collection instruments. It was found that teacher talk time in lesson delivery is high as compared to learner talk time. Low usage of Teaching and Learning Resources (TLRs) in lessons was evident. Inadequate professional capacity of the use of TLRs is a factor that requires attention. It was found that many strategies are available for oral literacy development in the classroom. The paper concludes that, teachers do not purposefully teach oral literacy at the early grade levels. Consequently, learners acquire less vocabulary and comprehension skills. Learners struggle along the levels of education to acquire lexical competency in many fields. The paper suggests a review of the content of the Colleges of Education curriculum to include courses in oral literacy development. It also recommends a purposeful use of the Professional Learning Community of the Standard Based Curriculum to continuously equip teachers with knowledge and skills of classroom practices to develop oral literacy skills. The supervision unit of Ghana Education Service should be resourced to monitor and coach teachers to facilitate oral literacy in early grade classrooms. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to involve children in oral interactive activities at home.","PeriodicalId":204201,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Language and Culture Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133507593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were collected via a 26- item questionnaire that focused on key cultural elements including food, body modification, dressing, language, religion, marriage, and naming. A total of 300 informants were contacted of which 110 were male and 190 were females, with 170 educated in French and 130 in French. They were students majoring in English on the one hand, and science-oriented students specialising in mechanical, electrical, computer, insurance, and banking engineering and learning business English on the other hand. The analysis revealed that, for each cultural token tested, there was a tendency for the colonised to mimic the coloniser. Imported meals were eaten regularly, body lotions were produced by the coloniser, the wigs they wore were made with the coloniser’s natural hair, clothes thrown away by the coloniser were bought, the coloniser’s language was widespread, artificial nails resembling the coloniser’s were gummed on the colonised fingers, the faith of the coloniser was adopted by some people, emphasis was put on church marriage by some people, polygamy was rejected by some people following the injunctions of their pastors, and names were taken from a repertoire drawn up by the coloniser. In short, several years after decolonisation, the social cultural features that the coloniser imposed at gun point on the colonised parents were joyfully adopted by the colonised, to the point that the latter spends huge sums of money to acquire these features that make him or her look like the coloniser.","PeriodicalId":204201,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Language and Culture Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123176892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The researchers used the first component in Fairclough’s three-dimensional conception of discourse, the text, to drive the research. The central focus of this research was to review Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu’s coup speech meant to usher in the military into political power in 1966. The study revealed Nzeogwu’s deliberate employment of appropriate discourse modes, lexical items, and grammatical structures to illuminate salient aspects of the Nigerian socio-political crisis, which informed his ideology of change. The problem of the Nigerian autocratic democracy, subservient followership by citizens and the supremacy of the military elites, manifest through Nzeogwu’s linguistic manipulations, as revealed by the text analysis done in this research. There were notable nuances of military discourse which shows the speaker’s intention and exploitation of interpretation. Hence, the research x-rays the language of authority and legitimacy used by the military to sway their subjects to their side. Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis model and methods of text analysis are used to bring out the hegemonic ideological practices in military discourse especially in Nigeria.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":204201,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Language and Culture Studies","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131319626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data came from some 25 churches whose pastors, church officials, choir leaders and congregants were contacted on the sites of these churches. The instruments used were a questionnaire, informal discussions and participant observation, and the frame used was the structural-functional model (Kouega 2008). The findings revealed a number of interesting facts. First the main service in these churches comprises some 11 major parts, which are occasionally referred to by different names. These parts were found to be realised in two languages, i.e., English and French, with any information passed on in the one language being systematically translated into the other language. Pidgin English was heard in two main contexts, i.e., during Testimonies when low education church members want to share the good things God has done for their life, and then during calls for financial contributions, lest these low education people might take back home what they brought for the growth of the church. Once in a while, indigenous languages were heard in songs.","PeriodicalId":204201,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Language and Culture Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130822941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
