</p><p><strong>The </strong> <strong>recent opening of Excellence Oyster
 Bay in Trelawny has, yet again, raised the issue of Spanish becoming 
Jamaica's second language. Undeniably, this call is not new. It is an 
idea that many successive governments have considered; still, little 
progress has been made.</strong></p><p>
</p><p>In fact, the third point under the Profile of the Educated 
Jamaican (page 34) from the 2004 Task Force on Educational Reform tells 
us that the educated Jamaican will “speak an additional language”. Some 
individuals will argue that English is already our second language; 
however, the 2001 Language Education Policy (page 6) cites Jamaica as 
being a bilingual society, the two dominant forms of language being 
Jamaican Creole and Standard Jamaican English.</p><p>
</p><p>The prime minister said that, “It is of strategic importance that
 the appropriate programmes be put in place, making Spanish a second 
language in Jamaica.” Certainly, the Ministry of Education would have to
 pilot such a reform. All non-anglophone countries that excel in English
 do so because of strategic programmes developed and implemented by 
their governments through their ministries of education. Germany and the
 Nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) are 
good examples. All these Nordic countries have compulsory English 
programmes from primary up to high school. To say the least, they have a
 bilingual set-up in which students are taught subjects in both their 
native language and English. Could this be an approach to adopt?</p><p>
</p><p>To achieve Jamaica's goal, it is incumbent that the Government 
starts to introduce such Spanish programmes from the early childhood 
level and make them mandatory up to the secondary level. One of the 
challenges is that, because most students are not exposed to a foreign 
language until grade seven, they are uninterested in learning same and 
believe that it is an insurmountable obstacle. Having nurtured a culture
 of acquiring a second language from their early years should help them 
to have a greater appreciation for languages as they develop.</p><p>
</p><p>Another critical aspect to take into account is the training of 
our teachers. With this objective in mind, it becomes evident that 
foreign language teachers would have to be of the highest standard and 
quality, especially those who teach at the secondary level. 
Consequently, student-teachers at the teachers' college level would have
 to undergo extensive, mandatory immersion in a country where the 
language is spoken. As far as I know, only Shortwood Teachers' College 
has a compulsory six-week immersion to France and Panama for students 
who study in the Bachelor of Education in French/Spanish. This time 
period, of course, is insufficient. I believe that the minimum time 
frame should be a semester, and the Government must play its part in 
helping to fund such initiative.</p><p>
</p><p>Spanish, just like French or any other language, is of paramount 
importance to our tourism sector. Some of the tourists that come to our 
island have a very low level in English, and it is unfortunate that they
 can hardly find a local with whom they can communicate in their native 
language. Truthfully, there are some circumstances that require 
communication to take place in one's native language. Jamaicans who 
travel to non-anglophone countries can attest to this. I have been 
helped several times by French natives, despite their very thick accent.
 It leaves one to wonder when exactly will even a quarter of the 
Jamaican population be able to help a foreigner in this regard in French
 or Spanish (the two major foreign languages taught in Jamaican 
schools).</p><p>

<p>In addition, languages are in demand in the business process 
outsourcing (BPO) sector. Call centres are finding it difficult to find 
people with the required language level to work on their special 
accounts. I have also been told that the hourly rate for the language 
accounts is significantly higher than the regular ones. A Caribbean 
Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) level student with an 
intermediate level in French or Spanish could easily secure employment, 
whether full-time or part-time.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government needs to get serious about its foreign language 
policy as this could open up a world of opportunities for young people. 
After 14 years (since 2004), how many Jamaicans can even have a simple 
conversation in Spanish, apart from saying, “Hola”?</p><p>

</p><p><strong>The </strong> <strong>recent opening of Excellence Oyster
 Bay in Trelawny has, yet again, raised the issue of Spanish becoming 
Jamaica's second language. Undeniably, this call is not new. It is an 
idea that many successive governments have considered; still, little 
progress has been made.</strong></p><p>
</p><p>In fact, the third point under the Profile of the Educated 
Jamaican (page 34) from the 2004 Task Force on Educational Reform tells 
us that the educated Jamaican will “speak an additional language”. Some 
individuals will argue that English is already our second language; 
however, the 2001 Language Education Policy (page 6) cites Jamaica as 
being a bilingual society, the two dominant forms of language being 
Jamaican Creole and Standard Jamaican English.</p><p>
</p><p>The prime minister said that, “It is of strategic importance that
 the appropriate programmes be put in place, making Spanish a second 
language in Jamaica.” Certainly, the Ministry of Education would have to
 pilot such a reform. All non-anglophone countries that excel in English
 do so because of strategic programmes developed and implemented by 
their governments through their ministries of education. Germany and the
 Nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) are 
good examples. All these Nordic countries have compulsory English 
programmes from primary up to high school. To say the least, they have a
 bilingual set-up in which students are taught subjects in both their 
native language and English. Could this be an approach to adopt?</p><p>
</p><p>To achieve Jamaica's goal, it is incumbent that the Government 
starts to introduce such Spanish programmes from the early childhood 
level and make them mandatory up to the secondary level. One of the 
challenges is that, because most students are not exposed to a foreign 
language until grade seven, they are uninterested in learning same and 
believe that it is an insurmountable obstacle. Having nurtured a culture
 of acquiring a second language from their early years should help them 
to have a greater appreciation for languages as they develop.</p><p>
</p><p>Another critical aspect to take into account is the training of 
our teachers. With this objective in mind, it becomes evident that 
foreign language teachers would have to be of the highest standard and 
quality, especially those who teach at the secondary level. 
Consequently, student-teachers at the teachers' college level would have
 to undergo extensive, mandatory immersion in a country where the 
language is spoken. As far as I know, only Shortwood Teachers' College 
has a compulsory six-week immersion to France and Panama for students 
who study in the Bachelor of Education in French/Spanish. This time 
period, of course, is insufficient. I believe that the minimum time 
frame should be a semester, and the Government must play its part in 
helping to fund such initiative.</p><p>
</p><p>Spanish, just like French or any other language, is of paramount 
importance to our tourism sector. Some of the tourists that come to our 
island have a very low level in English, and it is unfortunate that they
 can hardly find a local with whom they can communicate in their native 
language. Truthfully, there are some circumstances that require 
communication to take place in one's native language. Jamaicans who 
travel to non-anglophone countries can attest to this. I have been 
helped several times by French natives, despite their very thick accent.
 It leaves one to wonder when exactly will even a quarter of the 
Jamaican population be able to help a foreigner in this regard in French
 or Spanish (the two major foreign languages taught in Jamaican 
schools).</p><p>

<p>In addition, languages are in demand in the business process 
outsourcing (BPO) sector. Call centres are finding it difficult to find 
people with the required language level to work on their special 
accounts. I have also been told that the hourly rate for the language 
accounts is significantly higher than the regular ones. A Caribbean 
Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) level student with an 
intermediate level in French or Spanish could easily secure employment, 
whether full-time or part-time.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government needs to get serious about its foreign language 
policy as this could open up a world of opportunities for young people. 
After 14 years (since 2004), how many Jamaicans can even have a simple 
conversation in Spanish, apart from saying, “Hola”?</p><p>
