dc.description.abstractThis study sets out to investigate some sociocultural problems of Yoruba learners of English as a second language. To achieve its objective, the study first reviews the Yoruba socio-culture especially as it affects age and social power-structure. Then, it goes on to discuss the three major parts of the informal English letter-text viz: salutation, discourse and the ending (comprising closing remarks and subscription). Based on the discussion of these major parts, the study concludes that the influence of the Yoruba socio-culture has been the main source of the identified cases of linguistic deviance in our data which consist of sample informal English letter-texts written by some randomly-selected high school Yoruba users of English as a second language. The study also concludes that some of the identified cases of linguistic deviance have arisen from imperfect learning of the English language. It therefore draws a general conclusion that cultural-input and mastery of the English language are common factors that can make for the effective production of texts in English as a second language.  en_US
