Language Centre About Language Centre Overview

The Language Centre was founded in 1970 as a Centre for research in language use in Ghana, having the status of a department in the Faculty of Arts. For the first ten years of its existence, it was supported by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which funded the building it occupies. The focus of the Centre is on research and teaching related to the improvement of performance in the languages used in Ghana as vectors of education, culture and community interaction – English, the official language, and various Ghanaian languages. Besides running courses in Language and Study Skills for students of the university, the Centre provides opportunities for people from countries where English is not the language of instruction to improve their English language skills.
