dc.description.abstractThis paper tends in the first instance, to look critically at the issue of religion, then other issues like: attitude of teachers, parents and students as they affect foreign language learning before looking at politics and government policies as factors that mar or make the teaching/learning of foreign language in Nigeria. This is because, when it comes to foreign language learning, especially French and Arabic in Nigeria, issues abound; as a matter of fact, most Nigerian students are almost already divided along Christian and Islamic religion lines. Some believing that French language is meant for the Christians while others are of the opinion that its Arabic counterpart should be for the Muslims. As a form of conclusion, answers were provided to the question of whether if it is politics or policies all in a bid to lay to rest, the popular and erroneous bone of contention that a particular language belongs to a particular religion.en_US
