CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]CHAPTER ONE1.0 INTRODUCTION1.1 Background to the StudyCurrent thinking on the global role or status of the English Language reveals that English is no longer the exclusive property of Britain, America, Canada etc.(Oluikpe 15), Barber 235).

Nevertheless concerted efforts ... Continue reading---
