#488: Haitian prejudices. Vedrine comments
From: "Emmanuel W. Vedrine" <evedrine@hotmail.com>
"Haitians living in the States master English faster since they are immersed
in the language; the media ,work,etc. is all conducted in English. Also, for
new immigrants ,it is taught as a second language, something that is not
done in the case of French in Haiti. The teaching of languages in Haiti is
very theoretical. As someone who's
done half of his studies in Canada and the other half in Haiti, I can
compare the two systems.I observed that oral expression is not particularly
encouraged in Haitian schools. Some educators don't realize that practice
makes perfect." (Ralph Chery)
- Part of Chery's comments above make sence. But it would be better if he
can elaborate on "I observed that oral expression is not particularly
encouraged in Haitian schools. Some educators don't realize that practice
makes perfect."
