Publications on Nollywood have grown since the early 1990s, reflecting increasing academic interest in the Nigerian video film industry. Research covers the industry's history and development, and compares Nollywood to other African film industries. Publications provide perspectives from Nigeria, Europe, America and examine topics like language use, cultural influences, and reception of Nollywood films abroad. While early works criticized video quality and budgets, perspectives are now more positive as Nollywood gains global recognition.

Nigerian pidgin
Nigerian Pidgin developed from contact between English and Nigerian languages, and is spoken as a native language by 3-5 million people and as a second language by 75 million more. It originated as a way for different ethnic groups in Nigeria to communicate across language barriers, and is influenced by British colonization. While there are variations across Nigeria's 250+ ethnic groups, Nigerian Pidgin is most widely spoken in the Niger Delta region.
Nigerian English presentation (1)
Nigerian English has developed as a distinct variety of English influenced by its history of colonization and the multilingual environment in Nigeria. It is an outer circle variety that is still developing standardized forms and undergoing nativization. Key features include vocabulary additions through processes like compounding and affixation, as well as phonological and grammatical differences compared to British English. While English serves important functions, its dominance also threatens indigenous Nigerian languages and cultural identity. There is ongoing debate around classifying and standardizing Nigerian English.

The document outlines the agenda and materials for an English seminar on intercultural rhetoric and discourse, including three modules covering topics like translingualism, global Englishes, contrastive rhetoric, and ethnographic approaches to literacy. Key concepts to be discussed in the first module include issues around standard English, standard language ideology, and world Englishes.

The document discusses the history and development of Esperanto, an artificial language created in the late 19th century to foster international harmony. It was invented by Dr. Ludovic Zamenhof, a Polish ophthalmologist, who hoped it would become the first or second language of all people. Esperanto incorporated elements from major European languages and had simpler grammar rules than natural languages. The first World Congress of Esperanto speakers was held in 1905 in France but the language initiative ultimately failed to gain widespread adoption. The document also examines the emergence of lingua francas throughout history to enable trade between groups speaking different languages, using Swahili in East Africa as a modern example.

A discussion on the emergence of World Englishes - varieties other than the US or UK standards and the proposition of Global English as a lingua franca. The implications of these issues on English Language Teaching are consequently considered.
The Sociology of Language Maintenance in Nigeria
The dominance of English language in Nigeria has led to the depletion in the use of indigenous languages in the country. This has generated the necessity of conducting a more sophisticated and in fact an exhaustive study of the number of existent and non-existent/extinct languages. The basic finding of this study is that the mother tongue is still the dominant language in use in the home domain in Nigeria. This scenario reveals a case of language maintenance in Nigeria for now. Indeed, this position may not be sustainable for long in view of the preference of Nigerian youths for English over the mother tongue. The reasons behind current maintenance may not be unconnected with the fact that Nigerians are thoroughly bilingual in the semi-exoglossic type. This type of bilingualism entails knowledge of English and the mother tongue of the individual involved. While this development signifies that Nigerians are simply not learning any other indigenous language in addition to theirs as stipulated in the constitution, the study is a pointer to the fact that the stage is now fully set for the establishment of a mother-tongue based bilingual education in English and the mother tongue to avert any eventuality owing to the fact that English in Nigeria today is used in practically all domains. The study is a clarion call on all stakeholders to wake-up to the reality of the scourge of language shift and language endangerment currently plaguing Africa including Nigeria and some other developing countries of the world.

World Englishes
1) English has become a global language with more non-native speakers than native speakers. It is spoken by over 1.5 billion people worldwide and is used extensively in business, science, and pop culture.
2) Braj Kachru coined the term "World Englishes" to describe the diverse varieties of English that have developed as the language has spread globally. While traditionally only British English was considered the standard, Kachru argued that local Englishes have developed their own rules and norms.
3) English is becoming localized in many countries, taking on aspects of local languages and cultures while still providing a common means of global communication. It is growing as a means of cultural expression rather than solely as
Englishes
The document discusses the global use of English and the need to teach English as a world language rather than focusing only on British or American standards. It outlines three categories of English usage - inner circle countries where English is a primary language, outer circle countries that were former colonies, and expanding circle countries where English is used internationally. The document argues that English teachers should expose students to multiple varieties of English used globally to better prepare them for intercultural communication in an increasingly interconnected world.
World englishes (1)
This document summarizes a debate between Kachru and Quirk regarding World Englishes and standards of English. Kachru argued that varieties of English used in places like India and Nigeria are legitimate Englishes, not just errors or deviations from native standards. Quirk believed a common standard was necessary for intelligibility. The document also discusses how Kachru challenged the interlanguage theory and its view of non-native varieties as deficient. It notes debates around teaching standards, and implications for applied linguistics in understanding new Englishes in their sociocultural contexts rather than only through inner-circle norms.

Experience of Diasporic Nigerians watching Nollywood Films - ADEKUNLE DETOK...
This document summarizes a research paper about the experience of Nigerians in the diaspora watching Nollywood films. The researcher conducted interviews and focus groups with 22 Nigerian-Londoners of Yoruba ethnicity in southeast London. Key findings included that watching the films reminded participants of home and gave them a sense of belonging, as the hairstyles, clothing, and traditional costumes were familiar. Participants also enjoyed elements of the films like incantations and verbal expressions. The researcher concludes that cultural influences remain important for migrant communities, and watching these films helps relieve nostalgic feelings for home.

Nigerian video Industry paper - Pete Tidemann
The Nigerian video industry developed out of cultural productions like the Yoruba Travelling Theatre tradition and has become an important part of popular culture across West Africa and the diaspora. It began with filmed performances of the Travelling Theatre but later emancipated into its own video genre. The Yoruba video industry in particular centered around Lagos and produced genres like juju films and comedies. The Hausa video industry in Northern Nigeria also grew out of cultural forms like drama clubs and popular literature and has been influenced by Indian films which were already popular there. Both industries have become economically significant and reflect social and political issues in Nigeria through their storytelling while also entertaining mass audiences.

ترجمه فیلم
This document summarizes the major modes of film translation (dubbing and subtitling), their history and impact on culture. It discusses how dubbing became dominant in larger countries like France, Germany and Spain due to historical factors like a desire to protect national identity from foreign influence and the legacy of fascist regimes promoting their own language. Smaller countries tended to use subtitling due to having smaller markets and not being able to afford dubbing. The choice of translation method influences how foreign cultures are perceived in each country.
Marketing the Igbo Language: The Future is here, today.
This study centers on marketing the Igbo Language to the international community. Igbo language is one of the three major languages in Nigeria. The Igbo language is spoken by the Igbo tribe, who occupy the South East geo-political zone of Nigeria. Recent Studies have shown that among the three major languages, Igbo language is the most neglected due to the wrong attitude of the people who speak the language. The Igbos do not give adequate attention to the language. The language is not fully recognized within the geo-political zone, not to talk of giving it any international recognition. In spite of the efforts of some notable Igbo language writers among whom are F.C. Ogbalu, Nolue Emenanjo, Donatus Nwogu, Adiele Afigbo, this paper still perceives that a lot still has to be done to promote the language. There is need to embark on more intensive mobilization of people to support the already existing groups in propagating the Igbo language. Meaningful Igbo write-ups and researches should be done and uploaded on the internet and published in reputable journals for easy accessibility of the language and related materials at any point in time. The Igbo language should be redefined and fine-tuned in a way that it will be acceptable to all and sundry. This paper propagates the need to have be definite words and meanings for all the English words in Igbo language. The future is here, today.
Domestication of the English Language in Nigeria: An Examination of Morpho-Sy...
This paper examined certain developmental patterns Nigerian English (NigE) demonstrates in recent times, particularly at the linguistic levels of morphology and syntax. While studying these current trends, a sociolinguistic approach, as enunciated and popularized by Labov (1966), was adopted. The principal source of data for the corpus was the use of 100 questionnaires containing 11 objective tests administered to the respondents. The first part of the work provided an overview of the place of NigE as one of the World Englishes, today, while the second part which is the core of the work is an examination of the nature of foray the typology has made on the construction and use of English by Nigerians of a broad social spectrum. The study established that the uniqueness of NigE is considerably realized in such linguistic features as conversion, acronym, composition, redundancy, coinage and reduplication. It was, as well, observed that some NigE forms exhibit the same morphological and syntactic patterns as those of Standard English (SE) while some exhibit significant variations.

Intofilm-inclusion-projects-evaluation-v2
This document provides a summary of an evaluation of three inclusion projects run by Into Film in the 2013-14 academic year. The projects aimed to make film clubs more inclusive for pupils facing disadvantages. One project focused on newly arrived pupils and cultural awareness. A second worked with rural pupils to broaden horizons. The third supported pupils with special educational needs. The evaluation found that the projects helped with integration, cultural understanding, empathy, and literacy/social skills for participating pupils. Key films and activities like discussions and reviews were highlighted.
Translating Film Cultures
The document discusses the challenges of translating films across cultures and languages. It addresses both the linguistic translation of language in subtitles and dubbing, as well as the cultural adaptation required. Two key challenges are that cultural references can get lost or changed in translation, and translations are often domesticated for target audiences rather than preserving foreign elements. The document uses examples from Studio Ghibli films like Spirited Away to show how cultural meanings and references are sometimes altered or removed in translations. It also analyzes the film When Marnie Was There to demonstrate how cultures are adapting globally to resemble each other through westernization in films. The document concludes that due to ongoing cultural differences, it is not possible to fully translate a film from its native

The document discusses the Rivonia Trial Dictabelt Project, which aims to digitize 591 dictabelt recordings of the 1963-1964 Rivonia Trial in South Africa. The recordings document the landmark trial of Nelson Mandela and other anti-apartheid activists. Due to their age and fragility, the dictabelts could only be played on obsolete machines and were at risk of being lost. The project received funding from FIAT/IFTA's Save Your Archives program to have the recordings digitized by INA in France. This important collaboration between South African and French archives will preserve this pivotal part of South African history and make it permanently accessible.
20200125 DECLERCQ VAN MULDER Curating the White Fathers film collection
This document discusses the curation of the White Fathers Film Collection from 1948-1975 by KADOC Documentation Centre and VIAA Flemish Institute for Archiving. The collection consists of approximately 750 film objects from 83 titles produced by Belgian missionaries in Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi. Only 202 objects are being digitized based on technical and content criteria. The goals of research on the collection include situating the films within colonial film genres, differentiating individual films, and analyzing missionary representations of the regions beyond traditional film histories. Issues around digitization include balancing open access with community consultation and avoiding reproducing colonial dynamics in presenting shared cultural heritage.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
