Research In African Language Pedagogy

Since its inception, the NALRC has been encouraging African language instructors to do both qualitative and quantitative research on African language pedagogy. This effort led the NALRC to host the 5th Annual International ALTA Conference in Madison in April 26 to 28, 2001. During this conference, different African language scholars and instructors presented their ongoing research on African language pedagogy. Selected papers presented at this conference will be published in JALTA, Volume 3, 2002.

Another research effort of the NALRC is the editing and publication of the Journal of African Language Learning and Teaching (JALLT). The first volume of this journal was published in spring, 2001 and was guest edited by John Mugane, Ohio University, Athens, OH.
