Introduction
English is the official language of Jamaica. However most Jamaicans communicate in a different language called Jamaican Creole. Creole means- a language, which comes into being through contact between two or more languages. English is a compulsory subject in Jamaican schools, it is often required of students to write essays, books reports, short stories, ect, and to speak to their teachers in English. Being a student and a fluent speaker of Jamaican Creole, I often interfuse Creole with English when trying to speak and write English. As a student of Holy Childhood High School, I am often required by teachers to write and speak English. Therefore, I deemed it fit to explore the topic; Writing the Wrong: An examination of Jamaican Creole and its impact on the speaking and writing of English in Holy Childhood High School. The topic will expose the actual effect it has on schoolwork.
