The first Yoruba textbook in China.


Just produced in China
I'm just very happy because this is the first Yoruba textbook in China.

I was contacted by the Beijing Foreign Studies University around 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis to come to China and set up a Yoruba program for them. I could have been in China since then but for the lockdown. So, I started an online teaching for their students after writing the syllabus and the approval.

Later, the University got an approval from the government and a publishing company was approved for the publication of the first Yoruba textbook for students. I worked with three Professors who had the opportunity to study the language in the US.

This is the product of our efforts after three years. I will be going to China in September to test run the book. I have two students already at UI who would be trained and take over from me.

I have taught them for 2 years online, but they are now here to feel the culture of us and improve their proficiency."
