This volume collects eight articles (previously published between 1971 and 1996) by Caribbean linguist Dennis Roy Craig (1929-2004) on language education in English-based Creole-speaking
societies in the Caribbean. He discusses sociolinguistic factors in education and Creole English in the West Indies; education where the natural language of children differs from the standard
language of schools with some overlap in vocabulary and grammar; teaching reading to Creole speakers; the sociology of language learning and teaching; partial learning, base grammar, and the
mesolect; English language teaching in the West Indies; the need for a type of grammar that reflects the Creole English continuum; and the study of language policy, planning, and education in
Creole-language situations. Distributed by Longleaf Services, Inc. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
