INDIGENOUS SONGS AS TOOLS FOR SOCIALIZATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE ANGLICAN CHILDREN’S MINISTRY, ONITSHA

Ifeanyi Okafor

Abstract


Socialization in the context of this study is the process by which individuals acquire the knowledge, language, belief, social skills, and values to conform to the norms and roles required for integration into a group or community. It is also defined as “the process of learning how to live in a way acceptable to one‟s own society, said especially about children†(http://wiktionary.org). In this process, the individual internalizes the norms and ideology of the society. It encompasses both teaching and learning and is, thus, the means by which social and cultural continuity is attained.
