Dialect is so heavily rooted in society that hearing good Queen's English is a rare thing indeed. This thread has been started to answer your questions about the CXC English exam.

English Cxc

The issue of dialect has always been discussed by T&T teachers.Having been a former CXC and GCE English teacher, my view is that the dialect is an addition to the standard and the use of each register by the public may be a matter of balance. The imbalance among students in favour of using the dialect is not surprising as reading has become less of a pastime. Certainly the environ and peers are all factors in a person's skill level with the standard but from my years with friends from disadvantaged areas, I've seen how potent reading can be in providing the individual with Std. W.I English competence, not only for success with exams but also for self development.
