Linguistic Shift among Ghanaian and Nigerian New English Native Speakers (NENS): Pedagogical Implications
No full textThis study investigates the intriguing linguistic phenomenon of New English Native Speakers (NENS) in Ghana and Nigeria. NENS are typically monolingual, with some having limited ability to speak or understand their local languages. Their adoption of English as a native-like language has led to the creation of a unique linguistic subgroup and a language shift in the two countries. The research, therefore, provides insights into the linguistic shift among Ghanaian and Nigerian NENS and its pedagogical implications. A survey questionnaire was administered to collect quantitative data on participants' language backgrounds, patterns of language use, and competence in English concord usage. The overall percentages of correct responses for both countries are computed, yielding approximately 42.65% for Ghana and approximately 39.15% for Nigeria in concord competence. Notably, Ghana exhibits a marginally higher overall percentage of correct responses than Nigeria. The findings of this investigation hold significant implications for pedagogy in both nations. In order to address the observed linguistic challenges in Ghana and Nigeria, the study advocates for the adoption of more communicative and task-based approaches to English language teaching, alongside an increased emphasis on authentic language exposure.. The research underscores the pressing need for more effective pedagogical methodologies in instructing English concord usage. English language teachers in Ghana and Nigeria are encouraged to acknowledge the identified challenges and devise strategies to enhance English language teaching and learning.
