It is a data-based study which attempts to examine the overall effects of the Goal-Based Approach on learning Yoruba as a foreign language.

The results were confirmed with personal interview and critical study of some of their write-ups. It was found that incorporating students’ goals, interests, and aspirations into the language learning curriculum tends to put more load on students, but that serves as a motivator in the language-learning process.
