dc.description.abstract | This article argues a case for bilingual education in the rehabilitation of street children inKenya. These children are drawn from a variety of linguistic backgrounds. Too few of themare monolinguals when they are placed in rehabilitation centres where a four years non-formal education programme is run. The children mainly speak a mixture of Kiswahili, English and an urban youth variety called Sheng. Basing our study on the experience ofEldoret Children's Rescue Centre, we show that it is possible to achieve literacy throughusing the children's "home" language. The home language is the mixture of Kiswahili andEnglish. The paper also highlights the challenges of adapting the approach. | en_US |
