The West Indian Language Issue in British Schools (1979) Challenges and Responses【電子書籍】[ Viv Edwards ]

＜p＞First published in 1979.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The performance of West Indian children in British schools has been the subject of enquiries by both a parliamentary select committee and the Department of Education. It is widely believed that an important factor in the relative failure of West Indian children is the language they use, West Indian Creole, and while teachers and others who work with them are aware that their language is often very different from British English, they seldom understand the nature of the differences, or their implications. The aim of this book is to provide the non-specialist with an account of the language of West Indian children and to examine how linguistic ‘interference’ can affect their level of reading, writing and understanding, even when they have been born in Britain. It also considers the worrying possibility that negative attitudes towards them and their language may have an adverse effect on their motivation to learn standard English.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Viv Edwards plac．．．楽天市場のショップで商品詳細の続きを見る
