WHO WE ARE

With extensive experience in teaching and tutoring English Literature to students from diverse backgrounds, Lit African Reads aims to provide a bigger reading and literary analysis platform to students of African Literature. This will entail summarising, analysing, and discussing texts in detail to help students better comprehend them with the aim of driving student success in the classroom.

WHAT WE DO

Our aim is to provide students with the necessary literary skills that are home-grown to meet their classroom needs. This will help them navigate complex texts and themes at their own pace and out of the class environment. It will also help in providing a platform to African Literature students with a historical context of the African continent, thus enriching their perspectives and knowledge of African cultures and traditions.

The blog also aims to offer students tips, access to resources, and timely responses to their questions. This is enabled by an interactive platform that allows students to ask questions, get responses, and suggest more texts to be added to the catalogue of existing literary texts. The blog will also help students in analysing texts. It will also support students to better understand and appreciate the rich cultures and traditions that exist in Africa. Through offering a tailored approach, students will be able to succeed in their studies.

WHO WE SERVE

Lit African Reads also aims to inculcate a culture of reading across Africa. The blog will thus serve as a conduit for encouraging reading and writing, particularly among African Literature students. African books and stories will thus continue to live. Stories of Africa will then continue to be told by students of African literature for generations to come.

The blog will also be of use to international students studying African literature who are struggling to understand the different nuances and cultural connotations in different texts.
