(f) It was tested on three sets of graduating students in a popular secondary school in Lagos (2003 to 2005) and their brilliant results are valuable testimonies. The book is written, as a beautiful shot at the goal of a credit pass in the English Language at the Senior Secondary Level, a good score at the UTME examination and a mirror of the subject, to teachers and prospective English teachers, with the aim of making English Language at the certificate level a joy to all. The English Language Paper was restructured in 1996, both in the May/June SSCE and the November/ December GCE Examinations. We now have papers 1, 2 and 3 instead of the former Theory and Objective papers. As simple as the examination bodies like WAEC & NECO have made the syllabus, candidates still do not know how to handle the English Language paper. Certificate English Language At A Goal! is written to target directly the subject at this terminal stage with all its embodiments. It is an "invisible teacher' that teaches English Language in preparation of candidates for the SSCE, GCE, UTME and other related examinations. This text is also useful to students of English Language in the Colleges of Education and Faculties of Education in the Universities. It will help them to get a better grasp of what to teach and how to teach them effectively.
