The purpose of this book is to develop the linguistic and communicative skills of learners of Yorùbá. This will help them to have balanced functional knowledge of linguistic structures and a sound vocabulary, as well as the ability to use their skills appropriately in real-life situations. The book also encourages students to be systematically involved in activities requiring the communicative use of all four language skills: speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Culture and language are integrated in the book in a way to enable students to achieve both linguistic competence and the cultural awareness.
