| Abstract | Kenya's trifocal language policy is discussed with particular reference to the challenges and opportunities that African states have to grapple with in establishing a sound and workable language policy that will meet national and international needs. It is argued that fundamental questions have yet to be given serious attention. The focus of the discussion is on language use in education, but reference is also made to parliament and the media. A solution to the complex problems in Kenya cannot be found in the adoption of a national or official language. It is essential that particular roles and functions continue to be assigned to different languages, with appropriate provision made to equip citizens to use the various indigenous languages effectively for these purposes. The role or status enjoyed by any language should be complementary to those of the other languages and should also be determined by the prevailing socio-political needs and realities. This should make it possible to ensure that all Kenya's languages will enjoy desirable freedom to develop and expand. (Verlag). |
