Challenges and Resources of Learning Computers Studies in English for Bilingual Fulani Secondary School Students with Weak English

Abstract

This article is an attempt to highlight the language situation of bilingual Fulani secondary school students who are acquiring English as a second language and, at the same time, learning ICT in the new language of instruction. Furthermore, the article explores the educational implications of the language switch from Fulani to English as they relate to ICT teaching and learning at the secondary school level. Results of several studies that relate to bilingual students’ challenges and may shed some light on the language situation are shared. Recommendations are also given for a way forward.
