Bilingual Education and Creole Languages.

Joseph, Carole Berotte

Interracial Books for Children Bulletin, v17 n3-4 p13-14 1986

To empower children, they should be taught in their first language, Creole. Awareness and respect for other cultures can follow once the learner's self-concept is stable. (LHW)
