Abstract "As in many countries of Africa, the English language plays an important role in Eritrea. English is the language of educational instruction in junior, secondary and higher levels of education. English is also in use in governmental offices, international businesses and in service rendering institutions (e.g., restaurants, hotels, groceries) in major urban centres in the country. However, unlike many countries in Africa, Eritrea does not accord official language status to English or any of its national languages. With the aim of highlighting the role of the English language and literacy in Eritrea, this contribution describes the general language policy in the country, the use of English in schools and the display of English signs and messages in public places" | ||
