Abstract
Book review: Léger, Frenand. Pawòl Lakay: Haitian Language and Culture for Beginner and Intermediate Learners.
Highlights
Each chapter of the book is organized according to the communicative actionoriented approach to foreign language teaching and learning
Pawòl Lakay is based on the principle that “Kreyòl is a distinct language in its own right, with its own pronunciation, spelling system, grammar, structure and pragmatics” (Léger, 2012, p. vii)
The textbook goes a long way in re-establishing Kreyòl as a distinct language as it is often described either as a minor regional language, as a dialect of French, or even “broken” French
