German Studies in the Nigerian Educational System

Abstract

It would not be far from the truth to say that communication plays an important role in the search of development, be it educational, social, political, technological or any other form of development. An important role because knowledge, which is the life wire of any development is acquired only
through information and information comes through communication, which is made possible through the use of language . This paper will take a
look at German Studies in Nigerian universities with a view of revisiting the history and the challenges facing the effective teaching and learning of German language in our environment. It will also discuss the efforts made by stakeholders to solve the problems in order to enhance German Studies in Nigeria. From these points conclusion will be drawn.
