	Language Education In Nigeria
		As each of the languages is by definition a mother tongue, in theory they all qualify to be taught as school subjects under the NPE policy on language education in Primary and Junior Secondary Schools.
		In addition to appreciating the importance of language in the educational process, and as a means of preserving the people's culture, the Government considers it to be in the interest of national unity that each child should be encouraged to learn one of the three major languages other than his own mother-tongue.
		A comparison between the present state of language education in the country and its state, say, at the turn of the last century is certain to show that much progress has been made in the intervening period.

	Language education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Communicative language teaching (CLT) is an approach to the teaching of second and foreign languages that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language.
		By 1998 nearly all pupils in Europe studied at least one foreign language as part of their compulsory education, the only exception being Ireland, where primary and secondary schoolchildren learn both Irish and English, but neither is considered a foreign language.
		The most popular language students choose is Spanish, due to a real or perceived view that it is becoming a secondary language in the United States (see Spanish in the United States).
