dc.description.abstractThe Nigerian Government, citing important benefits of French language to the country and its people, pronounced French the second official language and a compulsory school subject up to the end of senior secondary education about two decades ago. This paper reports the survey conducted to assess the degree of implementation of these twin policy pronouncements as regards French from the points of view of one hundred and thirty-seven teachers in the languages departments of secondary schools got through multi-stage sampling procedure from eight local government areas of Oyo state. The data collected through copies of a self-constructed twelve-item questionnaire that yielded 93.4 Cronbach alpha validity were analysed with frequency counts, percentages and column charts to answer three research questions. The findings show the respondents’ appalling degree of ignorance of the policy, inadequate level of interest in the language and Government’s non-commitment to the implementation of the language policy. Appropriate recommendations are then made.en_US
