Synopsis

The book is interested in Language Policy and Planning in Togo, especially in the use of Togolese/national languages in schools. In Togo, only Ewe and Kabiye are officially considered national languages (Afeli 2003) out of 39 Togolese languages (Lewis 2009). These two languages were mentioned in the Reform of Education Act of 1975 to be taught in schools for all the Togolese, but that project was not fully implemented. The work investigated the issue in order to figure out the main challenges hindering the teaching of Togolese languages in schools. The finding of the main challenges helps to make suggestions in order to overcome them and successfully teach Togolese languages in schools. The method used to collect data is particularly based on Interviews with the Togolese educational stakeholders and NGOs working on Togolese languages. In addition, observations in training centers and those of Université de Lomé's students who are from different ethnic groups helped to collect useful data to achieve the goal of this book.
