Описание: What Do Jamaican Children Speak? A Language Resource presents a profile of aspects of the lexicon and of the morphosyntax of the speech of Jamaican three-year-olds across the island in their first year of entry into the public school system, the basic school. It is intended to serve as a resource for creolists and acquisitionists, for academics in education, for teachers of literacy and language education, as well as for intermediary and advanced tertiary-level linguistics and education students. The language to which the children are exposed – their model in acquisition – is characterized by extreme variation and viewed as the “weaving” of features belonging to the two language systems, Jamaican Creole and Jamaican English. This variation is not random or chaotic, however. The patterns of language choice by the children are investigated, showing clearly how it is that features associated with each of the languages are woven in their speech. These findings are used as a basis for recommending an approach grounded in language awareness as the choice pedagogy for the language and literacy classroom in a language environment such as that in Jamaica.Linguistic analysis, then, is used as a platform, a basis on which to understand the nature of the language that has been acquired by the children and used by them, leading to an informed picture of a possible way forward in English language education, allowing the teacher to transform what are frequently considered hindrances to learning English, into opportunities for learning the language.
Описание: This book examines Michael Manley`s government in Jamaica in the 1970s which featured an attempt to promote social and economic democracy on an egalitarian foundation. Many of his ideas have been revived in the early twenty-first century by the Occupy Movement, reflecting the continued relevance of his ideals and efforts.
Written with freshness, humour and charm, these imaginative stories are about Ossie Johnson, a boy growing up in rural Jamaica. He discovers his district's educational system, economic life, religion, politics, folklore, rituals and pastimes as well as its fears and terrors. They also lead him to wrestle with deep moral issues.
He encounters extraordinary individuals, including a man who is an acrobat in body and character, a faith healer, a farmer who transports bees on his body, a higgler who is completely deaf, and a female stonebreaker who loves to watch kites flying.

- Credible characters, conflict and plot development throughout the stories.

Описание:
Jamaica Johnson was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She watched her parents transition from being big time hustlers in the mean streets of Baltimore to cleaning up their dirty money and becoming wealthy and well-respected entrepreneurs. Wanting change for their children, Jamaica's parents tried their best to instill a work ethic into their daughter, but the damage was already done. Jamaica's early exposure to the fast life inspired her to do it B.I.G without ever obtaining a J.O.B.
Now, having to face adulthood sooner than she expected, Jamaica is determined to make it on her own without the help of her parents. However, with her champagne taste and beer budget, she desperately needs to find a way to flip her savings before the money runs out. Jamaica, alongside two friends, link up to acquire fast money. The three women come up with a brilliant business scheme that is sure to satisfy everyone's hunger for riches -- a very risky yet profitable business called "Las Chicas." With their motto, "Home away from Home," these girls rope in some other go-getters to become household names in the streets of Baltimore.
But the money and fortune that brings power, exposes envy and greed. Lifelong friendships and relationships are put to the test. Valuable life lessons are learned, but does anyone wipe the dollar signs away from their eyes in time to see the truth?
Jamaican Me Go Crazy is fast-paced drama at its best that will keep you turning the pages until the very shocking end.
Описание: A Kirkus Reviews most anticipated picture book of fall 2019, new from Nadia L. Hohn, named one of CBC's "6 Black Canadian writers to watch" Louise Bennett Coverley, better known as Miss Lou, was an iconic poet and entertainer known for popularizing the use of patois in music and poetry internationally--helping to pave the way for artists like Harry Belafonte and Bob Dylan to use patois in their work. This picture book tells the story of Miss Lou's early years, when she was a young girl growing up in Jamaica. As a child, Miss Lou loved words--particularly the Jamaican English, or patois, that she heard all around her. As a young writer, Miss Lou felt caught between writing "lines of words like tight cornrows," as her teachers instructed, and words that beat more naturally "in time with her heart." The uplifting and inspiring story of a girl finding her own voice, this is also a vibrant, colorful, and immersive look at an important figure in our cultural history. With rich and warm illustrations bringing the story to life, A Likkle Miss Lou is a modern ode to language, girl power, diversity, and the arts. End matter includes a glossary of Jamaican patois terms, a note about the author's "own voice" perspective as a Jamaican-Canadian writer, and a brief biography of Miss Lou and her connection to Canada, where she lived for 20 years.
