Who are the users of English in rural Kisii? How
widely available is the English language in rural
Kisii? What are the attitudes of the speakers toward
English? This book explores these and many other
questions related to availability of English in
rural Kisii, Kenya. The book gives a detailed
social and political history of Kisii and how that
history has influenced the current role and place of
English in rural Kisii. Although learners and users
of English in this rural context have limited
opportunities to use English, their attitudes toward
English are positive. They consider English an
important language that could give them access to
the outside world. Implications for English
education are drawn and several practical
suggestions of increasing the availability of
English are made. This book will be of great
interest to sociolinguists interested in the spread
of English into rural contexts, an area of research
that has not yet been well explored. The book will
also be of key interest to language educators and
policy makers.
