The third element concerned the home language
or languages. In most cases there was respect for
the home language or languages of the parents
and there were accommodations and considerations
for local or indigenous languages. In the most positive
view, there was a school which created a special
programme for children who came from families
where one parent was an English speaker. This was
an example of respecting and honouring the family
home language and the parents in general. There
were, however, a few instances where local or
indigenous languages were not respected or even
considered. This revealed communication problems
that needed to be remedied. This may expose,
unintentionally, a perspective of linguistic imperialism
whereby one language is judged as more valuable
than another.
