The book evaluates the sentence formation problems and prospects of the 720 randomly selected senior secondary school learners from senior secondary schools located in the southwestern region of Nigeria. Furthermore, the study examines critically the sentence type inputs in the grammatical units of three commonly used English coursebooks and teaching syllabuses designed for these target learners.
