A variational pragmatic analysis of responses to thanks in Nigerian English
Studies on responses to thanks in some varieties of English have reported preferred forms and strategies that are germane in language variation and cross-cultural research. For example, speakers of Cameroon English have been shown to prefer response forms and strategies that diverge from those of British English and Canadian English thereby suggesting differences in the communicative strategies between L1 and L2 speakers. Since generalization is …
Teachers and Learners’ Gender Perceptions and ESL Classroom Practice in Nigeria
Gender, language, and education studies have highlighted gender insensitivity and provided frameworks for progressive textbooks. However, studies into teachers and learners’ perceptions of gender and classroom practices appear scanty in Sub-Saharan Africa. This investigation attempts to address this gap through examining English as a Second Language (ESL) classes in Nigerian primary and secondary schools. Recordings from 3 teachers and 58 learner…
A pragmatic analysis of the expression of appreciation – thanks in Nigerian English
Many studies on the linguistic realizations and social functions of responses to thanks in different varieties of English have reported interesting findings on the speech act.

The common denominator among these studies appears to be the linguistic hegemony of the English language as a global language and the survival of the other languages of the world. This paper critically reviews the trend that has been reported in Nigeria and re-assesses some of the proposed resistance mechanisms in l…
Dynamics of gender representations in learning materials and gender equality
