Wonita Daniels , Errleita Alberts,Matana Sage: Language is a reflection of culture, identity, and societal norms. In Guyana, people use both Guyanese Creole and Standard English to express themselves and communicate with others. However, some people have assumptions about Guyanese Creole, which has resulted in language policies and educational practices that don't fully embrace its rich linguistic heritage. To create a more inclusive and empowering educational environment, it's important to shed light on these assumptions and advocate for linguistic diversity. Researchers hope that by doing so, they can encourage informed discussions about language teaching methodologies and policies that celebrate the richness of Guyana's linguistic tapestry.
