Being able to effectively communicate
in another language opens up new horizons in life besides
broadening one's own world view. Living in a multi-cultural
society as found in Kaduna, the College students readily appreciate
the importance of being able to communicate well in another
person's language both in terms of economic advancement and
in potentially lessening cultural misunderstandings. Clearly
studying Hausa or Yoruba
will go some way to meeting these needs of our young people.
With several Francophone countries near Nigeria, the College students are also keen to learn more about their international neighbours and enjoy the prospect of good communication should travel opportunities open up later on. |
