How English Was Taught in the Gold Coast, 1954

Rare archival footage from the Gold Coast in 1954, capturing an English-language lesson during the colonial period. The film shows learners practising spoken and written English, including simple phrases such as “I will speak English” and “My name is Kofi.” Beyond the lesson itself, the footage offers a fascinating glimpse into education in the Gold Coast only a few years before Ghana gained independence in 1957.
