Case study: Waliosoma english medium ni "wazuri" kuliko waliosoma shule za kawaida

[The Monk]

Now now now now, namaanisha nilimaliza kusoma vitabu fulani vya Chase.

Ningevipata vyote probably ningeweza kuvimaliza, lakini sikubahatika kuvipata vyote. Chase had that page turning style ambayo nilikuwa naipenda sana, it is addictive.

Sasa mtu kama wewe una vitabu hivyo, kama una watoto hapo nyumbani, wanaanza kuona mazingira ya vitabu nyumbani (although some of the Chase covers are not exactly child friendly, but in any case I am referring to books in general).

Kwa mtoto mdadisi, yale mazingira ya nyumbani yanaweza kuwa stimulant kubwa ya kujua lugha kuliko hata shuleni.

Mimi nakumbuka nilivyokuwa mdogo nilikuwa nasoma mpaka Engineering plans zilizokuwa nyumbani, sasa hapo mtu unaanza kupata udadisi kuhusu hizi plans zinasomwaje, hivi vialama vina maana gani etc kabla hujajua trigonometry.

Ndiyo maana naona umuhimu wa kuhoji hii dhana ya kutafsiri "watoto wanaoenda english medium wanajua zaidi kiingereza" kumaanisha kwamba english medium schools zinawapa advantage ya kujua zaidi kiingereza.

Obviously kufundishwa kwa kiingereza kunachangia, lakini kwa kiwango gani? Na kiwango gani kinachangiwa na mazingira ya nyumbani?

Inawezekana mtu kwao wana Time Magazine subscription, akiwa bored anajisomea, anajenga msamiati na uelewa wa Kiingereza, halafu akija kuonekana anajua, sifa zinaenda kwenye english medium school.

Na ndio hicho kinachotuponza wengi, mazingira.
Mimi nimesoma hizo hizo shule za ikungu igeni, Mseko, Shelui, Ntwike kwa elimu ya msingi (Baba alikua mwalimu).
Ni zile shule ambazo yaani mtu unapelekwa tu kama hatua ya ukuaji, hata kufaulu kwenda sekondari ni kama ajali, hujui ukimaliza la saba ni hatua gani inafuata. Matokeo yakitoka unaambiwa unatakiwa kwenda sekondari.

Nilibahatika kupenda kusoma vitabu vya kiingereza series fulani ya oxford ilikua na hadithi za akina Abdul kuanzia kitabu cha kwanza hadi cha sita. Na baada ya hapo nikawa napenda kujisomea vingine vya kiingereza kwa sababu nilikua na weza kwenda maktaba na kuchukua vitabu nnavyotaka. Kana kwamba haitoshi nilikua nasilikiza BBC english japo naokota neno mojamoja lakini kadri muda ulivyozidi kwenda nikawa napata kuelewa na kupata baadhi ya misamiati na maana ya maneno mengi ya kiingereza.

Hadi leo hii, vitabu ni eneo linalotumia vizuri kipato changu na sijawahi kujuta.
Shule zina umuhimu mkubwa sana kwenye suala la kiingereza kwa mtoto, lakini mazingira anayokutana nayo mtoto yana mchango mkubwa zaidi kumjengea mtoto huo uwezo.

Maendeleo ya Tanganyika hayawezi kuja kwa sababu ya kuongea kingereza. Kama umefikiri hivyo basi umekosea sana Hakuna kitu chenye nguvu kama lugha Mama sababu ni hii angalia mastaa kama Ronaldo anapewa tuzo ya dunia ila aliongea kireno.. raisi wa Brazil akiwa south Africa aliongea lugha ya Nyumbani Haya China VP... kwahiyo lugha ya kiswahili tumeipotezea dhamani sisi wenyewe Nina imani itafika wakati lugha Hii itatumika mpaka kwenye usahili

 

[Mjuni Lwambo]

Kwa muktadha huu mwana wa Ngabu, kinachozingatiwa hapa ni fluent(I am not sure of the word) in speaking na wingi wa misamiati, haiangaliwi grammar, intonation wala tenses.

Kwa hiyo wakenya kwa kigezo kwamba it is their nation language, hatutakiwi kushangaa wakiwa fluent in speaking with a lot vocabularies.

Hmm...unajua kwa mtu (tuseme mtu A) asiyeijua vizuri lugha fulani ni rahisi sana kuona au kudhani kuwa fulani mwingine (mtu B) anaijua vizuri hiyo lugha anayoizungumza kwa sababu hata huyo mtu B akikosea, wewe (mtu A) ambaye huijui vizuri hiyo lugha anayoongea (mtu B) itakuwia vigumu kuyang'amua makosa yake.

Binafsi sijavutiwa hata kidogo na uwezo wa Wakenya wa kuongea Kiingereza. Sasa sijui wewe mwenzangu kilichokuvutia ni nini hadi uwamwagie sifa kihivyo?

una point nzuri lakini we jamaa kingereza chako yaan mpaka nakuhurumia, usishike dictionary na kukariri maneno, unataka kujua kingereza vizuri, zama kwenye muvy zao na muziki, usikariri vitini na dictionary, it's totally off. samahani kama ntakua nimekukera au kukukwaza, ni maoni yngu tu ili ufanikiwe zaidi kwenye uandishi na kuongea boss.

Kwa nini umhurumie mkuu?,
Mbona mimi naona amepiga English ya kufa mtu!?, sema tu maneno mengi sijaelewa.

Kingereza chake ni kizuri lakini sicho ambacho natives wanachokiongea kwenye maisha yao, sasa ukiongea hivo kwa mtu anaejua lugha ndo anakuona kama umeandika sivo, lakini ujumbe unafika na unaeleweka. kwa mfano kusema nataka kutapika, utasema I want to vomit, ni kweli sahihi lakini hilo neon vomit hasa linatumika hospital kwa daktari huko, lakini natives wenyewe hawasemi hivo bali wanasema I want to throw up, au I want to puke. kuna mifano mingi sn. sasa hapo juu hicho kingereza kinaeleweka vizuri lakini sio kinachoongelewa, sijui unanielewa mkuu. we maneno mengi hujaelewa maana haupo fluent. kwa mfano kwenye Kiswahili zamani mshkaji ilikua ni demu yaan king'asti au totoz ndo anaitwa mshkaji, lakini sikuhz mshkaji ni msela wako au m2 wa karibu yaan unaelewana nae ile ile, umenisoma, sasa akaja mtu ambae ndo hajui Kiswahili kivile hlf akaita mwanamke mhkaji hajakosea sema sasa hv Kiswahili kipo next levo mshkaji sio demu ila ni mtu msela unaemkubali awe man au demu wote mzuka. jamaa mie nimechoka kukuelewesha, yaan km hujaelewa basi mkuu.

PLO namjua. Hatumii vocab ngumu kihivyo. Ila naelewa kwa nini watu wanaona kama anatumia vocab ngumu.

 

[Theodora]

hahaahaa ndugu....yangu hizo ni stori za vijiwe vya kahawa...ni hivi nisikilize nikwambie....

1.katika swala la ajira...watu huajiriwa kwa kuangalia taaluma yako..au fani yako...na sio kujua kiingereza moja...
2.waajiri wengi huwa wanangalia una nini kichwani.....we unafikili kazi kama mechanical,electrical,nedicine. lazima uwe mtaalamu wa mambo na sio english broo

Ni kweli wanaangalia kilicho kichwani kupitia hiyo lugha ya Kiingereza. Na ni dhahiri wale wa English-Medium wanaconfidence na wanaweza kujielezea vizuri kupitia hiyo lugha. Asikuambie mtu hata vocational insitutions kama VETA wamefahamu hilo kupitia feedback za waajiri na sasa wengi wanaona lost opportunities kwa sababu ya kutoweza kujielezea vizuri.

Hata nikirudia mara kumi, siwezi kuelewa hayo maneno ya Lumumba.
Hapo piga ua lazima nitaitafuta tu dictionary.

PLO namjua. Hatumii vocab ngumu kihivyo. Ila naelewa kwa nini watu wanaona kama anatumia vocab ngumu.

Sasa mzee, unasema hatumii vocab ngumu kuhivyo, hizo alizotumia wewe unaziona ni rahisi?

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

Sasa mzee, unasema hatumii vocab ngumu kuhivyo, hizo alizotumia wewe unaziona ni rahisi?

Hakuna neno gumu hapo. Kama lipo labda ni kwako tu.

Huyu hapa kwenye Jeff Koinange Live. Hakuna cha ajabu wala kigumu kwenye Kiingereza chake

 

[Mjuni Lwambo]

Nyani Ngabu, asante kwa video, ntaisikiliza baadaye naona network sasa hivi inasuasua.
Lakini, hivi vocab ngumu ni mpaka ziweje?

Mfano mtu anakuandikia hivi "...may your day be panctuated with arevanchism whose magniloquence can only be theatropistically analysed by the use of a reminiscent excarbation. I hope you dont mind my apostacy. I know your arquistic impedance might not engulf this kind of debanched pedagogy because of it's repuginatious tolecentrim..." hapa atakuwa ametumia maneno magumu au?

Kwanza kabisa, sijawahi kukutana na mtu anayeongea hivyo. Hata kwenye PMQ kwenye House of Commons huwa hawazungumzi hivyo. Hata kwenye kesi pale Old Bailey huwa hawatumii misamiati kama hiyo.

Mara nyingi utakuta maneno kama hayo yapo kwenye maandishi tu. Na mengi ya hayo maneno huwa ni ya zamani kiasi cha matumizi yake katika jamii kupungua. Na ukichunguza zaidi unaweza hata kukuta huyo mwandishi si mzungumzaji wa Kiingereza kama lugha yake ya kwanza, hivyo kunakuwa hulka fulani ya kujionyesha na wewe unaijua misamiati migumu (isiyotumika mara kwa mara) ya Kiingereza (si unajua tena Kiingereza ni ishara hadhi, elimu, akili, na sifa zingine ziendanazo).

Lakini kwa mtu ambaye anapenda kujisomea mambo mbalimbali zikiwemo kamusi, maneno kama hayo wala si mageni. Na siku hizi mambo ya mtandao yamesaidia sana. Unaweza kujiunga na tovuti za kamusi mbalimbali za Kiingereza ambazo huwa zina 'vocabulary quizzes' kwa ajili ya mazoezi ya kuongeza na kuimarisha msamiati.

Halafu, ukichunguza kwa makini zaidi unaweza kukuta mwandishi kayalundika lundika (pleonasm) tu hayo maneno mpaka kapoteza hata mantiki kabisa. Lakini kwa vile kuna dhana ya kwamba hayo ni maneno magumu, ni watu wachache sana watakaoweza au watakaokuwa na muda wa kuangalia matumizi pamoja na miundo ya kisarufi kama ni sahihi.

Ushawahi kukutana na mtu yeyote anayejibu maswali ya mtihani kwa kutumia maneno kama hayo?

Sasa mkuu naanza kujifunza kitu;

Sasa hapa tofauti ya maneno haya na yale ya Lumumba ni ipi?

Sasa hapa tofauti ya maneno haya na yale ya Lumumba ni ipi?

Tofauti iliyopo ni maneno yenyewe.

 

[Mjuni Lwambo]

Naanza kijufunza kwamba kwamba mtu anaweza akatumia maneno ambayo hayatumiki katika kuzungumza, aidha ni ya kizamani mno na anaweza akawa ameyarundika kiasi kwamba hayaleti maana.

Umesema yale maneno ya Lumumba ni ya kawaida tu, nataka kujua umeyatofautishaje na haya yangu?
Tofauti ni maneno yenyewe vipi?

Unaanza kujifunza nini?



Tofauti iliyopo ni maneno yenyewe.
