THE EFFECTS OF NIGERIA PIDGIN ENGLISH ON STUDENTS OF TERTIARY INSTITUTION

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study focused   on the effects of Nigerian Pidgin English in university community using Caritas University, Enugu  as case study.  The study adopted a survey research design and with the aid of convenient sampling techniques, one hundred (100)  participants who are Student and Lecturers in Caritas University Enugu State  was enrolled for the study. A well structured questionnaire was issued to the respondent of which all were received and validated for the study. Data was analyzed using simple percentage as well as frequencies and table. Findings of the study shows  that Nigerian Pidgin is gaining strong ground in educational environment instead of standard use of English language and is substantially being used in communication between staff and students on a daily basis. Thus this affects students social interaction, teaching learning process, learning outcome, sentence construction and academic performance. The study therefore recommends that Staff and students in tertiary institution across the federation should engage the use of Standard English language in the communication rather than use of Nigerian Pidgin. Moreso, the use of Nigerian Pidgin by students during communication should be discouraged by implementing laws that can combat wrong use of English in the school environment.
