Yoruba language has been listed among the endangered languages in Nigeria. Thus, efforts to revitalize Yoruba language had led to the suggestion of students’ friendly approach in tertiary institutions, such as cinematic approach. This article explored the effect of cinematic teaching approach on attitude and performance of students in Yoruba history and culture among pre-service teachers in the selected Colleges of Education in Nigeria. The study was guided by two research questions and hypotheses. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design. Total number of 52 pre-services teachers were selected from Yoruba Department, Federal College of Education, Yola, and Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, Nigeria. The instruments for data collection were Students Achievement Test in Yoruba History and Culture (SATYHC), and Students Attitude toward Yoruba Language (SAYL), while data were analysed using ANCOVA at 0.05 significance level. The findings showed that cinematic strategy significantly influenced attitude of students as well as performance in Yoruba history and culture (P<0.05). Based on the findings, it was recommended among others, that the Yoruba educators in the colleges of education should be trained on usage of cinematic teaching strategy.
