Multilingual English-Speaking Caribbean: From Creole Language Policies to Foreign Language Policies
Abstract
An increasingly global context with a rapidly growing international migration and the institutionalization of the Caribbean Community (Caricom) as an economic and political unity suggest the need for a language policy in education in the English-speaking Caribbean countries (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago). Language police can provide people with the languages and the linguistic and cultural skills needed for a global personal and professional future. In this chapter, the author will present the multilingual context in the English-speaking Caribbean and the language policies until the present time, the recent foreign language policies, and the challenges these countries will face in creating a language policy.
