About SS2 Igbo Scheme of Work
Igbo as a subject in SS2 centers on learning the Igbo language, literature, and culture. The curriculum aims to enhance students’ skills in speaking, reading, and writing Igbo, while deepening their knowledge of Igbo traditions, values, and history. It covers grammar, vocabulary, oral and written communication, and the study of Igbo literary works and cultural practices. This subject fosters an appreciation of cultural heritage and improves linguistic abilities, preparing students for further education and effective communication in Igbo.
Beyond a communication tool, Igbo preserves the customs, traditions, folklore, and perspectives of the Igbo people. The Lagos State unified scheme of work for the Igbo language immerses students in its linguistic and cultural nuances. It focuses on developing skills in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding Igbo.
At this stage, students build on foundational language skills, expanding their vocabulary, grasping complex grammar, and mastering Igbo orthography. Through various activities, students learn to construct sentences, use idiomatic expressions, and engage in dialogues reflecting real-life situations. Reading comprehension exercises expose them to contemporary and traditional Igbo literature, fostering an appreciation for the language’s literary richness.
Studying Igbo in SS2 is a significant educational endeavor that goes beyond basic language learning. Engaging with the Igbo language reconnects students with their heritage and develops essential skills for their future.
