Technically, the language varieties are dialects of English. They have much in common with other varieties of Australian English, but there are distinctive features of accent, grammar, words and meanings, as well as language use. These Aboriginal English features often show continuities with the traditional Aboriginal languages. In many subtle ways Aboriginal English is a powerful vehicle for the expression of Aboriginal identity. History Before the British invasion of Australia at the end of the eighteenth century, there were approximately 250 different indigenous languages spoken throughout the country, with approximately 600 dialects. The languages were very complex, and the differences between neighbouring languages were often as complicated as the differences between English and Spanish, for example.

home definitions other descriptions classroom tips ... references Tok Pisin written by Jeff Siegel This page includes information on: background (history, current use and attitudes) vocabulary sounds grammar BACKGROUND History When the recruiting (and in some cases kidnapping) of islands labourers for plantations in Queensland began in 1863, many Melanesians found themselves literally in the same boat. The only common language they had was the simplified English they had learned, so they used that to communicate with each other on the ships and later on the plantations. With continued use, norms began to emerge and a stable pidgin language started to develop early Melanesian Pidgin. The earliest Queensland labourers were mainly from the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu) and the Solomon Islands. Labourers from German-controlled New Guinea only went to Queensland in 1883-84. Many more went to plantations in Samoa, from 1879-1912. Labourers from the other countries had also started going to Samoa in 1878, and many of these had already worked in Queensland. So early Melanesian Pidgin was transported to Samoa. However, after 1885, no more labourers from the New Hebrides or Solomons went to Samoa, and early Melanesian pidgin began to diverge into two slightly different varieties one spoken in Queensland and one in Samoa.

home definitions other descriptions classroom tips ... references Singapore Colloquial English (Singlish) written by Anthea Fraser Gupta This section includes information on: background (history and use) vocabulary sounds grammar BACKGROUND Modern Singapore is traditionally dated from 1819, which was when Sir Stamford Raffles claimed the island of Singapore for the East India Company, with the intention of creating a trading post for Britain in a strategis place. This 'founding' of modern Singapore took place against a background of multiethnic trade going back many centuries. The Malay peninsula was an important crossroads in trade from East Asia to India and points westward, as the pattern of winds and the lay of the land created a natural meeting point. The region had a history of Indian and Thai influence and rule, but by the time of European involvement (from this sixteenth century) the area consisted of a series of rather cosmopolitan Malay sultanates, which were Muslim, but with distinctive cultural practices that reflected the centuries of contact with other nations, especially with India. Many Chinese had also settled in the region, to foster their trading interests, and there were links of all sorts around the whole of Asia.

It has a rich linguistic history based on the need for a common language among a diverse group of people who spoke different languages. It also has a dark side based on plantation domination and American English hegemony. HCE speakers have mixed feelings about the creole. HCE has often been denigrated as a sub-standard form of English. But with the efforts of local linguists and writers, people are now beginning to realize that the creole is a language separate from, but similar in appearance to, English. HCE can be heard on the playgrounds and in neighborhood conversations. It can also be heard on a few radio programs and in some advertising. On rare occasions, HCE is heard in more formalized situations, such as on the legislative floor and in the classroom. However, English and Hawaiian are the official languages of the legislature and standardized English is the official medium of instruction in the school system.

home definitions other descriptions classroom tips ... references Kamtok (Cameroon Pidgin) written by Loreto Todd (with help from Martin Jumbam and Herbert Wamey) This page includes information on: background (history, geography, use) vocabulary sounds grammar texts BACKGROUND Introduction Kamtok is the pidginised English of Cameroon. This English-related language has been a lingua franca in the country since at least the 1880s. The 35-year period since 1966 has seen dramatic changes in the attitude of speakers towards the language. Speakers have always recognised the usefulness of the language but, in early writings, it was frequently referred to as "Bad English", "Broken English" and "Bush English". Today, due mainly to its extended use in Churches and on Radio and Television, it is becoming known as Kamtok from Cameroon Talk, and is taking its place as a recognised medium of interaction. Geography Education is prized and at least 60% of the population is literate. The percentage is much higher in urban areas and lower among older rural women. All education is through the medium of either English or French and all young people are expected to be bilingual in the countries official languages. Approximately 50% of the population continues to follow their animist traditional religions, while 33% are Christian and 17% Muslim.

While some features of AAVE are apparently unique to this variety, in its structure it also shows many commonalties with other varieties including a number of standard and nonstandard English varieties spoken in the US and the Caribbean. AAVE has been at the heart of several public debates and the analysis of this variety has also sparked and sustained debates among sociolinguists. The history of AAVE and its genetic affiliation, by which we mean what language varieties it is related to, are also a matter of controversy. Some scholars contend that AAVE developed out of the contact between speakers of West African languages and speakers of vernacular English varieties. According to such a view, West Africans learnt English on plantations in the southern Coastal States (Georgia, South Carolina, etc.) from a very small number of native speakers (the indentured laborers). Some suggest that this led to the development of a rudimentary pidgin which was later expanded through a process of creolization.

Good vocabulary instruction emphasizes useful words (words that students see frequently), important words (key words that help students understand the text), and difficult words (idiomatic words, words with more than one meaning, etc.). In providing vocabulary instruction teachers can help students by: Activating their prior knowledge Defining words in multiple contexts Helping them see context clues Helping them understand the structure of words, e.g., prefixes, roots, and suffixes Teaching them how to use a dictionary and showing them the range of information it provides Encouraging deep processing. Students need to integrate new words into their working vocabularies.

55. Tahitian Academy Information on the organization responsible for safeguarding and enriching the Tahitian language, normalizing vocabulary, grammar and spelling, promoting publication of books in Tahitian and general education in the language. http://www.tahitinet.com/presense/academy.html

THE TAHITIAN ACADEMY The Tahitian Academy was created by a vote of the Territorial Assembly on August 2, 1972. It was inaugurated on July 2, 1974 by the Governor Daniel Videau and its statutes were approved by the Territorial Assembly on December 5, 1974. The Academy is aimed at safeguarding and enriching the Tahitian language, normalislng the vocabulary, the grammar and the spelling, promoting the publication of books in Tahitian as well as the generalized teaching of the language. Since its foundation, the Academy has written, in collaboration with the Territorial Education Service, the books used for teaching Tahitian in the primary schools. In 1987 it wrote and published a huge grammar (T: tarame) of the Tahitian language (500 ex. in bond version and 2,500 ex. in paperback version) aimed at enacting precise official grammatical and orthographical rules. It searches for the translation of words related to specialized fields of activity (navigation, medicine, meteorology, etc) for which it has until now published two vocabularies. The Academy has also published two volumes of words of contemporary Tahitian which were not listed in the usual dictionaries. Each year, it organizes literary competitions aimed at finding the best works from which abstracts are thereafter published in anthologies by the Academy. Until now two such anthologies have been printed.

John Bauman Hello, and welcome to my homepage. This page is here to make available some information about myself and my interests. I'm a university professor and corporate trainer in Japan. I've also taught in the United States and China. For the whole story, take a look at my resume Currently, I am the director of the Tokyo Training Group . This group organizes training courses at various corporations in Tokyo. I also teach at Hosei University and Nihon University on a part-time basis. My professional interests and activities fall into two main areas, the use of e-mail in language teaching and the promotion of vocabulary acquisition in language learners. I've posted some resources here relating to both of these topics. E-Mail and Language Teaching Interactive Use of E-mail I gave this presentation at TESOL's 2000 Internet Fair, in Vancouver, Canada, on March 15, 2000. I demonstrated ways of using e-mail to teach English in any context, concentrating on strategies for replying electronically to student messages. I've posted the handout and example messages from that presentation. Using E-mail to Simulate Authentic Business Communication I gave this presentation at the Third Asia-Pacific International Conference of the Association for Business Communication, which took place in Kyoto in August 2000. In my presentation, I talked about using e-mail in a Business English context. I've posted a summary of this presentation with some links to related web resources.

58. Vocabulary Resources For Material Writers Teaching and Learning vocabulary (Nation 1990) contains a good general discussion of this topic. Nation doesn t hesitate to quantify the issue. http://jbauman.com/mat.art.html

Vocabulary Resources for Material Writers From The Materials Writers Newsletter The Newsletter of the Materials Writers' National Special Interest Group of the Japan Association of Language Teachers Vol. IV, No. 3, October 1996 John Bauman Enterprise Training Group Material written for ESL students needs to use somewhat simplified vocabulary and structure if it is to be accessible to lower and intermediate level students. In terms of vocabulary, a writer can try to "keep it simple" while writing, but a more rigorous approach is to compare a text with a list of words prepared for this purpose. A variety of lists of words are available, as well as different ways to use them. In this article, I will briefly list and describe some lists. I'll also discuss a program that will analyze a text and give some links for further exploration of this topic on the internet. Links to sites mentioned are given in the "Web Links" section at the end of this article. Teaching and Learning Vocabulary (Nation 1990) contains a good general discussion of this topic. Nation doesn't hesitate to quantify the issue. His model of an ideal vocabulary teaching sequence starts with the most frequent 2,000 words, which he calls general service vocabulary. Everybody needs to know these words; they make up about 87% of an average written text. After this point, general frequency becomes less useful as a guide to what words to teach. Students are better off studying a list of words specific to their field of interest or need, if one can be found. For the student aiming at English-language higher education, Nation's 800 word University Word List is appropriate. After this, the remaining vocabulary of English is of too little frequency to merit direct study. Skills such as analyzing word parts, context guessing, etc. can be taught.
