Linguistic Death - a result the teaching of  English  as a second language poses to learners with  Fiji-Hindi  as their first language.
Fiji-Hindi ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
ARE WE WORKING TOWARDS ANOTHER LANGUAGE DEATH? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
So what is Linguistic Death? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
English teaching classroom scenario: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
So what happens to a Fiji-Hindi speaking student in a English learning classroom? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The POWER of English Language   ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Simply ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Impact on the first language and its culture? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Is there a need to neglect the first language? Or are the speakers forced by the POWER of the L2 language? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Should the right question be: Why is English replacing Fiji-Hindi or in that case, any other language? Can this aspect of language evolution be a result of globalisation?  The  agents of language shift  need to be identified so that minor languages do not fear language death.
English being the global and most recognised language in itself is powerful. Its power and importance is incomparable but cannot be ignored. Minor languages such as Fiji-Hindi also have their own rights and advantages. They are a mirror to their associated cultures.  This also can not be ignored.
