Abstract

The issue of appropriate methodology for suitable teaching of literature of Arabic and French in Nigerian schools has continued to receive attention from educationists on how to make it more beneficial to society. Literature is to be for life’s sake; therefore, its teaching should be able to assist in solving day-to-day problems. This paper discovered and discussed the obstacles militating against effective Arabic and French language literature teaching. It discovered the prominent obstacles confronting effective teaching of the literature of these languages to be the shortage of competent teachers, non-availability of suitable textbooks, lukewarm attitude to the languages on the parts of the learners, and the parents and acute dearth of suitable instructional materials. The paper is survey research, deriving its sources from an extensive consultation of relevant literature and interaction with the stakeholders. While it should be stated that each language has its peculiarities, they have some common grounds. One of such common grounds is the application of the same methodology to some aspects of the two languages. It suggested a possible methodology to perfect the teaching and make the learners achieve the desired goals. Of the three genres of literature (prose, drama, and poetry), drama and prose were treated because they share numerous similarities. Teaching and understanding Arabic and French literature in Anglophone nations like Nigeria with a workable methodology yielded desired outcomes.

It is impossible to pigeonhole the reputable Shaykh Dawood Tijani into a particular role or to compartmentalize his activities or intellectual contributions to a particular geographical region. The influence of the Shaykh in the promotion of Arabic and Islamic scholarship in Nigeria is enormous. In fact, one can hardly discuss these fields in Nigeria today without reference to the learned scholar. For the purpose of this study, however, we shall be constrained to restrict our focus to his invaluable contributions to Arabic scholarship in Nigeria, through his writings A prolific writer and sound scholar, Shaykh Dawood Tijani contributed significantly to Arabic literature with well-written books, articles and manuscripts in Arabic, on Arabic language, literature, Islam and related subjects. This study employed both historical and contextual methods, which attempt to reconstruct the significant events of the past through analysis, synthesis and verification, in assessing his intellectual background as well as the concise contents of his writings. It discovered his works as significant contributions to Arabo-Islamic literary productions. The study is expected to serve as a useful material for the literary historians and critics in documenting the Arabic literary activities in Nigeria

Abstract

The need for national development and peaceful coexistence amongst the citizenry dominated current discussion in Nigeria. The article examined the impacts of Arabic language and Islamic values in the actualization of national development in Nigeria via the bridging of ethnic diversity. The paper critically examined factors that constitute obstacles to unity amongst Nigerians, with a view to finding panaceas to Nigeria’s imminent disintegration. This study, using a qualitative approach employed both historical and contextual methods to investigate the causes of disunity where ethnic diversity exists. It examined the predisposing factors as well steps that could be taken to ensure peaceful co-existence and national development. Data were collected from a range of reliable published sources in Arabic language authored by eminent Nigerian Arabic scholars intermarried with case studies of the current situation. The study revealed that doctrinal differences, leadership tussle, tribal affiliations, and matters relating to political leadership are some of the major contentious issues. The results indicated that literacy in Arabic language and deeper understanding of Islamic values have the potentialities of  serving as the vehicles in facilitating harmonious relationship and national development. The knowledge of Arabic stimulates interaction at the linguistic level both in local and international contexts and promotes unity amongst the citizenry, together with Islamic values. They jointly play an important role in peacemaking and national development. Subsequent studies must explore further,  the impact of Arabic education in peacemaking amongst the citizens of diverse backgrounds and advise the educators on the need for  curriculum development to improve the level of harmonious relationship amongst Nigerians. Considering the fact that the corporate existence of Nigeria is preferable to its disintegration, the study provided a list of recommendations the actualization of which could enhance the much-desired national development.
