Isi artikel

A common way of viewing the English language situation in Singapore is in terms of a continuum ranging from those with minimal ability (e.g. taxi-drivers) to those with near-native competence (e.g. the products of English-speaking homes and English medium education). This is obviously a methodological simplification but it has the disadvantage of over-emphasizing the similarity between the native English-speaking Briton or American on the one hand and the non-native English-speaking Singaporean on the other, so that, in effect, the Singaporean taxidriver with his little English is equated with the British or American child with his limited linguistic development.
