QUESTION 4 b. State two non- linguistic reasons why the students are NOT speaking Std
English

N.B It is widely perceived that most speakers use Std Eng in formal situations or when they are
speaking

to a stranger ...so in this scenario we are asking ourselves ... Why did they choose to speak
Creole? Why
would one person be comfortable or be proud speak to Creole in any context and another will not
do
such? And on the other hand why the others choose the Standard and are just as comfortable or
proud
with it?

Possible answers...They were not in a formal setting/ the situation was a casual one

Creole is their first language and they are comfortable with speaking it / they are in an English
speaking

country etc
