Overview

This book, designed to teach and help you learn or practice Haitian Creole as a mother tongue, a second langue, or a foreign language, is a great and extensive Haitian Creole vocabulary building tool. It has a five-language glossary at the end, allowing native speakers of Haitian Creole, French, English, Spanish, and German to make use of all the components of this book fairly easily. The book has a total of twenty-five texts covering twenty-five different topics. There is a table of contents at the beginning, and each chapter starts with a short text, followed by a mini dialogue and activities on writing, reading comprehension and Haitian Creole sounds practice. The Student's Book (Liv Etidyan) ends with a five-language glossary that includes Haitian Creole, English, French, Spanish, and German and has a corresponding Teacher's Book (Liv Pwofesè) with the answer keys to the activities in the Student's Book. To offer extended practice in all aspects of Haitian Creole, there are also three Activity Books (Liv Aktivite) spread across three levels, so beginning, intermediate and advanced students of Haitian Creole can extensively practice the language. The set includes an Assessment Book (Liv Evalyasyon) that measures the degree of the student's learning of the Student's Book. The Assessment Book is subdivided into five sections, with each section covering five chapters of the Student's Book.

Author Information

My name is Wilson Douce. For the last 27 years, I have been involved in education. I began in my home country: in 1991, I graduated from the Normal School (Teachers' Training School) in Foreign Language Instruction (English, Spanish, and French) and in my native language, Haitian Creole. Then, after receiving a certification and diploma (Bachelor's) from the State University of Haiti in Foreign Language Instruction, I entered the Department of Linguistics, where I completed four years of coursework (a second Bachelor's). In 1996, I entered Stony Brook University in New York, USA, and completed my MATESOL in 1998. In 2008, I returned for a second Master's in Liberal Arts and an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Educational Computing. Later, I completed a third Master's in Hispanic Language and Literature and attained an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership. Currently, I am enrolled in a doctoral research program in Applied Linguistics at Aston University, UK. For seven years, I worked in Haiti as a successful EFL and Spanish teacher in seven different public and private high schools and, for one year, as a French literature teacher. I taught Haitian Creole in many international institutions, such as the United Peace Corps, United Nations, Organization of American States (OAS), Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and many more. Moreover, for three years, I worked as an Assistant Director at a private religious school (Institution Emmanuel) and served as the Director of their evening literacy program. I worked as a Haitian Creole translation consultant for BOCES and New York State Education Department (NYSED) from 2000-2003. For the last twenty-two years, I have been teaching ESL/ENL in two different districts-Wyandanch and Huntington-in Long Island.
