Lecturer: Dr. Marta Dijkhoff

The course is designed both as a foreign language course and one in the structure of the language, with an emphasis on the former. In the foreign language component, students will be trained with a focus on oral expression and comprehension. The structure element of the course involves developing a basic understanding of:

• the structure of the language including its similarities and differences to other Caribbean Creole languages;
• dialectal differences within the language, and
• issues of standardisation and instrumentalisation.
