| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the necessity of proper English language learning as it has great impact on both educational and communication needs of Nigeria. It also focuses on the common errors in the usage of English within the purview of our Universities, colleges of Education, polytechnics and other higher institutions; side by side these concerns are projections of roadmap to eradicating these common errors by students and other users of English. The basic areas of oral and written English will be the instruments for analysis: and the writer concentrated on interactions with students and colleagues of Nasarawa State University, keffi and other Higher Institutions, from speeches and written tasks of students as well as data sourced from literacy materials. | en_US |
