English in Mauritius.

Foley, Joseph

World Englishes, v14 n2 p205-22 Jul 1995

Provides an overview of the position of English on the island of Mauritius, where the dominant language of the home is a French-based Creole but the language of government and schooling is English. Also discusses English instruction on Mauritius, noting that language instruction on the island has been traditionally structuralist rather than functional. (19 references) (MDM)
