CHAPTER ONE

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The theme of this study aim at finding out the impact of language laboratory for effective teaching and learning of oral English in Junior Secondary Schools in Ilorin West local Government of Kwara State.

Language according to Webster’s Encyclopedia English Dictionary: is the body of words and systems use by people who are the same community or nation, the same geographical area or the same cultural tradition. Language is human speech either spoken or written. Whenever there is a human society, there is a language.

Lieberman (1984) argues that human language is built on a biological based that is present in other primates, and that both humans and animals have laurite neural mechanisms which are matched to their respective sound producing mechanisms.

Yet most linguists will readily agree that only humans have language proper and that the possession of language put humans at considerable advantage compared with others species.

English is one of the major languages out of about 5000 estimated language spoken in the world. About 200years ago, English was simply the language of less than 15 million peoples. Today, however, English is used by more than 300 million people. English is one of the most influential and fast growing languages spoken across the globe. Today, English is used in several countries, in the United States, America, Canada, New Zeeland and some parts of West African Countries. Equally, about half of the world’s scientific and technical journals as well as newspapers are printed in English. The spread of English is further enhanced through the establishment of British council and United States information services by the British and U.S. governments respectively with centers and libraries in various countries including Nigeria. All these factors have therefore made it easy for anyone who understand and speak English, and move around major cities in the world to communicate effectively with one another.

According to Anibueze (2007), English language is a lingua franca. As lingua franca, it is the language for unification. English language had remained a very important tool for socialization and bureaucratic activities in Nigeria, since the day of colonialism.

In Nigeria today, English remains the language of the country, students can hardly make commendable progress in their studies without adequate mastery of English through which most of the course in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions are taught and examined.

Oluikpe (2005) stated that the basic criteria for assessing students proficiency in writing and speaking are generally control of the basic grammatical categories such as punctuation, tense, number and gender etc.

Language Teaching in Nigeria had some deficiencies. The reason for this deficiency is our English teachers who are not well trained and also non-professionals
