A small amount of new material is introduced at a time (usually in a monolog, drill, or dialog) which, after a brief bit of practice is used for communication (in a communication activity or a dialog). An introductory section presents a short description of the history cf this form of Creole, considered the national language by many Mauritians, notes on the spelling, and suggestions to the student and the teacher: for using the material. Appended are additional dialogs and a section on pronunciation to provide practice on some of the aspects of Mauritian Creole likely to prove troublesome for American learners.

Although belonging is always a highly fluid and subjective concept, there are several interrelated, locally specific factors that make belonging especially contentious in modern-day Mauritius. These include, but are not limited to: the diverse, multi- ethnic composition of its population; the absence of an indigenous, precolonial culture; the island’s history of double (French and British) colonisation; its relatively recent transition to independence (in 1968); and its official, ethnically delineated, multicultural model of ‘unity in diversity’.
