Spoken English Language of Native Children – A Canadian Perspective
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 July 2015
Extract
Reading S.6. Harris’s timely article summarizing recent work in bilingual education (1) prompted me to write for readers of The Aboriginal Child at School, this brief report of part of a project I carried out in Canada in 1972/73. In particular, Harris’s reference to Susan Philips’s work (2) reminds us all of the complex and vexed matter of social contexts governing the use of language. It may be of interest to teachers of Aboriginal children to read examples of language interactions between white and native, and native and native people in several contexts, from another country which has similar ‘pluralistic’cultural problems – Canada.
