Effect of Registers in Promoting Leather and Leather Products in Nigerian Institute of Leather and Science Technology (NILEST), Zaria

Abstract

The study investigated the impact of registers on the promotion of leather and leather products. Registers, in this context, refer to the level of formality in language, influenced by the specific context in which it is spoken or written. The primary objective of the study was to utilize registers as a means to enhance awareness and appreciation of leather and leather products among the general populace. To conduct the research, a descriptive survey method was employed, and questionnaires were utilized as the research instrument. Twenty (20) respondents participated in the study. The data obtained from the completed questionnaires were analyzed through frequency counts to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of the findings. The results indicated that a significant number of both staff and students were not familiar with the registers associated with leather. Consequently, it is recommended that efforts should be made to raise awareness in educational institutions and the broader community about the various registers of leather.
