Yorùbá Language and Culture Through Film

This project seeks to use “Nollywood” films as the basis for Yorùbá language instruction. The term “Nollywood” is derived from “Hollywood” in the same manner that the Indian film industry is known as “Bollywood.” The focus of the project is to construct an intermediate Yorùbá curriculum based on Nigerian videos and films. The main goal is to create multimedia materials that will provide cultural, linguistic, historical, religious, and documentary value.
