dc.description.abstractNigerian stakeholders have frequently bemoaned the mass failure of students in English language in communication situations and as a qualifying subject. Computer-Assisted Language Learning has been proved to be a sure panacea to the problem. But studies have revealed language teachers’ gross lack of knowledge of computer literacy. This study, therefore, examined the adequacy of computer literacy contents of the curricula of the university departments training English language teachers in the country. Since it has been generally acknowledged in Nigeria that privately owned establishments provide higher quality services than their publicly owned counterparts, the study also examined computer in language teacher training from the angle of public-private ownership dichotomy. Copies of a self-constructed nineteen-item questionnaire were administered after obtaining a validity of 0.85 Cronbach alpha. The data collected from a total of two hundred and eleven pre-service English language teachers from two public universities and two private ones through stratified random sampling were analysed with the statistical tools of frequency counts, simple percentages and chi-square. The findings revealed that: (i) a Nigerian pre-service English language teachers is offered at least a computer course (ii) private universities offer more computer literacy courses to their pre-service English language teachers than public universities (iii) the computer literacy courses offered to them in Nigerian universities lack pedagogical contents (iv) private universities provide more computer facilities for their pre-service English language teachers than the public ones do (v) those in private universities rate their institutions’ computer literacy programmes higher than their counterparts in public ones rate theirs.en_US
