Yoruba and Communication Arts: What the Programme Involves and What Students Learn in Art/Humanities
Contents
What Is Yoruba and Communication Arts?
Yoruba and Communication Arts is a programme that brings together the study of the Yoruba language and communication. It provides an opportunity for students to develop their knowledge of Yoruba while building communication-related skills that can be useful in academic, media, educational and other communication settings.
The programme sits within the Art/Humanities course group in the JAMB brochure, where Yoruba and Communication is listed among the recognised programmes. The specific course entry is presented as Yoruba and Communication Arts for Lagos State University (LASU).
What Students May Study
The programme combines language with communication-oriented learning. Students can expect their studies to involve the effective use of Yoruba and the development of skills for expressing, interpreting and communicating ideas.
Depending on the structure of the programme, areas of learning can include:
- Yoruba language
- Communication and expression
- Written and spoken communication
- Language use and interpretation
- Yoruba literary and cultural materials
- Communication practices
- Research and academic writing
- Presentation and communication skills
The Communication Side of the Programme
The communication component gives the course a broader focus than the study of Yoruba language alone. Students can develop the ability to communicate ideas clearly while using their knowledge of language, culture and communication in different contexts.
This combination may be particularly interesting to students who enjoy both indigenous language studies and communication-related activities.
LASU's Options Under the Programme
The JAMB admission entry for LASU shows Yoruba and Communication Arts with several options. These are Yoruba/French, Yoruba/Philosophy, Yoruba/History and International Studies, Yoruba/Religious Studies, Yoruba/Music and Yoruba/Theatre Arts.
These options show that the programme can connect Yoruba with different areas of the Arts and Humanities, giving students room to study the language alongside another related discipline.
Skills the Programme Can Help Develop
- Effective communication
- Yoruba language proficiency
- Writing and presentation
- Critical reading and interpretation
- Research skills
- Public speaking
- Content development
- Understanding of language and culture
Who May Find the Course Interesting?
Yoruba and Communication Arts may appeal to students who have an interest in Yoruba, communication, literature, culture, public expression and other areas of the Arts. It may also suit candidates who would like to combine an indigenous Nigerian language with a communication-oriented field.
One More Thing to Know
Yoruba and Communication Arts should not automatically be treated as the same course as the separate Yoruba programme. The JAMB brochure lists both as distinct programme entries, so candidates should pay attention to the exact course name when making their choice.
