“I am impressed with Emmanuel Védrine's motivation for the development of Haitian Creole as a language that can be standardized and adapted to serve all the functions of its speakers and, in particular, members of the American Diaspora who require medical, social, and educational services in the language. Given the limited resources at his disposal, the linguistic tools Védrine has produced are noteworthy, in particular, his Dictionary of Haitian Creole Verbs with Phrases and Idioms. It is a very useful resource for linguists, translators, and learners of the language. With regard to its originality and overall quality, I would rank it as the best work on the vocabulary of the language and right next to Freeman and Laguerre's Haitian-English Dictionary and our own somewhat dated Haitian Creole  - English - French Dictionary. The high quality of the work is reflected by its having been deemed worthy of review in the prestigious Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages. He is also a prolific author of literary and educational materials in Haitian Creole. He would be an invaluable collaborator to any project involving the description of Haitian Creole and the preparation of various linguistic tools for the language.”

As I mentioned before in Ti istwa kreyòl: Short stories in Haitian Creole , I am never satisfied with my literary works related to Haiti . As Haitian writer, I always have a thirst to produce more for the generation of 2000. - This book is a document related to my experience as Haitian teacher in the Haitian Bilingual Program. As Tony Jean-Jacques mentions, "No school will succeed without the help of teaching materials in the native language". It was a privilege for me to publish some books in the construction of this work. - This book is not a complete document on Teaching Materials For Haitian Bilingual Program. It might be the first interpretation some readers are going to do when first looking at the title. Don't think that it has everything in it for Haitian Bilingual either. It's more a look and some samples on how Haitian teachers can compile some materials for their class to develop their own curriculum. It depends on what the teacher is teaching also. -- I also believe that reading is very important to opening a student's mind and to developing critical thinking. My hope is that this sample of work can serve as a guide for all teachers who teach in Haitian Bilingual Programs.]

(Idea to found a Haitian Private High School in Boston : Idée pour fonder un  Lycée Privé Haïtien à Boston). [Ide pou kreye yon High School Ayisyen nan Boston is a debate between Dr. Morel Berthold, E. W. Védrine and the late Haitian educator, Tony Jean-Jacques  on the issue to found a private Haitian High School in Boston, the problems of Haitian students in American schools, and the value of education in Haitian society with an emphasis on bilingualism and bilingual education. All three of us have lived in the Haitian community of Boston for a long time. --- Following our observations in the community, as well as all of our experience in the American society and schools, we see that it is important for everyone in the community to work together. To succeed, we must be educated. And we Haitians who care about the community and the growing generation, we see that the last chance left for us, to liberate ourselves and other Haitians, is "education." We are often told that education is free, that everyone has a right to have an education. Great word! We Haitians from Haiti , who have lived the reality of our country, we are used to beautiful words, beautiful phrases, and deceptive speech in French. But what interests us the most is action and practice. So, we don't look at theory only. Who has really received a real education: rich or poor people? I leave the answers to the readers. When we recognize that 85% of the people cannot read and write, we cannot say that education is free for everyone, everywhere. And this applies especially to these innocent people who have landed here in this country, and who work very hard, days and nights, in factories. Even if they didn't have access to education at home, at least their children who are here, the growing generation here should receive an adequate education the same way many other ethnic groups who live in this country do. --- We can observe the problems of young Haitians in school here: many are like wild goats in a prairie, without owners, without guides. We see that it's time to think about them, to think of creating something for them, to think of their future so that they can avoid spending the rest of their lives in Jail. As we consider their performance in school and their isolation as an ethnic group, we believe that it's important for the whole community to work together to think of their future, because tomorrow, they are the ones who will replace us, they are the ones who will represent the community. It is with this purpose that the three of us gathered on April 17, 1994 , at Harvard University , for a first debate on the education of young Haitians in the community. The proverb says: Nou pa gen lajan, men nou gen jan (We don't have money, but we have good humor). It's true that we don't have money to try to do all that is possible in the community, but we think that it is important to write these ideas down on paper, as a way to facilitate communication with the community and to see how these ideas might become a reality. Men anpil, chay pa lou (Many hands make the burden light). E. W. Védrine.

[“Dictionary Of Haitian Creole Verbs With Phrases And Idioms by Emmanuel W. Védrine, 1992. Journal of Pidgins and Creole Languages, 11:2, 1996. The book under review is, therefore, a welcome respite, for it respects the standard orthography and is quite systematic throughout… The Dictionary is a guide for learners of both languages, for people who want to be bilingual and for those who are interested in linguistic research. The excellent balance of Kreyòl and English explanations should accomplish those ends. The presentation is impressive for a book published independently by its author… The Dictionary of Haitian Creole Verbs offers strong evidence that writing Kreyòl is still perceived as a wide-open discursive field…” -- Karen Richman and William L. Balan-Gaubert (Reviewed by), University of Chicago].

[“Another achievement toward the emancipation of Haitian Creole language. ‘This pioneering Dictionary of Haitian Creole Verbs With Phrases And Idioms by Emmanuel W. Védrine (1992) is the result of many years of linguistic research and methodological design undertaken by Emmanuel Védrine, a graduate researcher at the University of Massachusetts at Boston. Specially, his book represents a new orientation in contemporary Creole lexicography. His dictionary attempts to bridge the gap between theory and practice, as a tool for improving Creole teaching and improving research in contemporary Creole Studies… Védrine gives a hint of his lexical enthusiasm on the title of the book itself. His Dictionary of Haitian Creole Verbs lives up to its name. In a concise preface, Védrine reviews recent developments in Haitian Creole grammar. Védrine succinctly discussed other characteristics of the Haitian verb system from such familiar phenomena as the short forms of: ale (al), vini (vin), rete (ret) to name a few. He also identifies many Haitian Creole verbs that can be used as ‘attributives’ in some cases. He cautions the reader to use his dictionary with circumspection, not as a manual of conversation but understand the quasi-to understand the quasi-totality of Haitian verbs used in any aspect of life. Using or reading Védrine’s dictionary will be a very pleasurable distraction indeed and the reader / user will go away knowing what ‘deplancheye’, ‘jebede’, ‘tyakannen’, ‘wouspete’ is. He also refers to the so-called ‘vèb marasa’ (twin verbs) such as ‘pote-kole’, ‘sote-ponpe’, ‘leve-kanpe’ - For any creolophone who needs a quick and complete reference in Creole and English will find Védrine’s dictionary immediately useful, culturally rich, humorous and a constant delight…” -- SEDRA, 1993].

["...Given the limited resources at his disposal, the linguistic tools Védrine has produced are noteworthy, in particular, his Dictionary Of Haitian Creole Verbs With Phrases And Idioms. It is a very useful resource for linguists, translators, and learners of the language. With regard to its originality and overall quality, I would rank it as the best work on the vocabulary of the language and right next to Freeman and Laguerre's Haitian-English Dictionary and our own somewhat dated Haitian Creole - English - French Dictionary. The high quality of the work is reflected by its having been deemed worthy of review in the prestigious Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages ..."

E. LE PHARE:  We have talked about you as a novelist, but we can't go talking only about novels because that's not only what you write.  Let's touch on another important interest: you work with schools both here in Boston and in Haiti.  If we look at the problems of schools in Haiti, the first thing I noticed while reading this book, is how clearly you bring forth the important issues of education: the issue of writing and speaking Kreyol, the issue of bilingual curriculum, the tensions between French and Kreyol in educational settings here; all of this leads me to the question of development and progress. -- Is your project based on two strategies:  to make people conscious of the reality of bilingualism in our community and to impress upon educational teachers the need to study and apply more seriously the work of bilingualism in both Boston and Haiti?

Emmanuel W. VEDRINE:  The work that I have done in Yon koudèy sou pwoblèm lekòl Ayiti was partly motivated by my work as a teacher in the Haitian Bilingual Program in Boston.  However, my work is very much directed at the challenges of education in Haiti.  It is a habit of mine to return to Haiti in order to analyze some of the problems within the school system there.  As you know, there are so many problems within Haitian schools and my return to Haiti helps me to really understand or show the readers, students, and teachers the problem and its source so they can be able to analyze and propose solutions. --- I discuss the language issue in order to bring enlightenment on both French and Kreyol.  We know that in Haiti during the 30-year dictatorship, the educators in Haitian never really talked about the serious problems of Haitian education.  In fact, one of the confusions that have been propagated is the exaggerated concern between French and Kreyol in order to avoid showing that it's politics that causes the major problems and not whether the school is committed to French or Kreyol.  As a linguist, I contend that the problem of language is important, but secondary to the reality of politics.  It is politics that can create the conditions for educational quality and opportunity in Haiti and not what language one speaks.  Language is just a medium; you can use any language in education.  So, the real problem is not really one between French and Creole, the way many educators in Haiti used to show it in order to avoid touching on the political reality and how it really defines the contours of our educational expectations. --- I take my position on that and at the same time as linguist and Haitian writer who cares deeply about Haitian reality, I feel that I have a responsibility to do a job that would advance Kreyol language as the main language medium in the educational system in Haiti.  Further, I try to advance Kreyol in the Haitian Diaspora in all bilingual programs.  I do believe in what I am doing and I strand firmly on it.  On the issue of language again, we must not forget the attitudes that we are sometimes dealing with when some Haitian teachers put forth negative attitudes against Kreyol language.  That is another problem we can analyze and why some teachers insist upon using only French as the language for Haitian students.  So, they don't see the use of Kreyol language as a medium to help Haitian children in their transition in bilingal program.  Bilingualism is under scrutiny in the Diaspora while Kreyol is the Haitian educational structure is under scrutiny as the official language there.  Negative attitudes in both the Disapora and Haiti about Kreyol language must be changed.  Language then is the crucial link waiting in the wings to come forth and do its job in Haiti once Haitian politics restructure an educational system for sustained excellence.  Kreyol is the native language and it must be respected and officially used.  I stand by that. Also, I think that the Diapora can play an important role in helping to accomplish that goal because, for instance, in Boston, though there is resistance by some Haitian educators, the fact remains that Kreyol language is used in the Boston School System as the official language of Haitian students who are in bilingual programs.

1996. “E. W. VÉDRINE CREOLE PROJECT has organized a Kreyòl seminar from May 13 to May 20. This seminar was held at the 'Haitian International Cuisine', 1616 Commonwealth av. Boston, Massachusetts. It's a Haitian restaurant that brightly opens its doors to the advancement of cultural activities. The founder of the project, Emmanuel W. Védrine, was really satisfied with this very! first seminar and he also taking the opportunity to thank Serge Claude Valmé, David Cangé, Eddy Le Phare and Jan Mapou - four great figures in the Haitian Media who have really given their support informing the public about this seminar. The participants were extremely happy. The main text used in the seminar was the manuscript of Gramè Kreyòl Védrine, the 16th book that Védrine is going to publish. This grammar, a book with more than 350 pages, covers all grammatical aspects of the Kreyòl language. It will be published this summer so that people can have access to this linguistic document. Védrine also did a display of some Kreyòl books by Haitian authors. After this great seminar, two media in the Haitian community of Boston, 'Radyo Vwa Lakay' and 'Tele Dyaspora', have met with Védrine for an interview. Here's an excerpt of it:

SERGE CLAUDE VALMÉ: We are looking at your Kreyòl seminar, can you tell us about its importance for Haitians?

E. W. VÉDRINE: I believe it is important in whatever the language development to have seminars, workshops, conferences done where people can gather to discuss on all aspects of the language. So, not only I write about that but I also believe in both theory and practice. That's how I started putting that in practice by launching this first free seminar.

SERGE CLAUDE VALMÉ: One of the document used in this seminar is one that's going to be published soon, Gramè Kreyòl Védrine, what can you tell us about it?

E. W. VÉDRINE: Gramè Kreyòl Védrine is my latest book on Kreyòl. That's the first time the whole Haitian community (Haiti and the Diaspora) is going to have a document that covers all grammatical aspects of the Kreyòl language. It's a book with more than 350 pages. I believe it is a well-documented research where It took me a year to complete it. It can help many Haitians who need to know more about their own native language.

COMMENTS & EVALUATION (Corinne Etienne)

"Evaluation of the Haitian Creole Seminar - The instructor thoroughly covered what he had planned to cover. Plenty of information was provided since the manual used deals with a very extensive range of topics. - I have now better command of the orthography. That was very good practice to hear Haitian speakers read materials out loud: I am now clearer about the sound-symbol correspondences in Haitian Creole. That was also interesting to review the changes in the orthography with the shift from one to another. I learned much just by listening to the instructor and the participants talking and discussing issues related to Creole. - I was mostly interested in the cultural part, in particular proverbs and references to Haitian folk literature (Bouki) mirroring the Haitian duality. The discussion about some Haitian proverbs or idioms and trying to phrase them differently to make their sense clear or giving corresponding situations were very useful exercises. - I have already recommended and will definitely recommend the seminar to other people in the Haitian language and culture. I would like this type of seminars to continue and propose the following improvements:

Actual group practice with the orthography: maybe a few dictions with immediate self-correction in order to assimilate to the main spelling rules.

Some practical work in group on the short stories: for instance, working out some short lesson plans or brainstorming on how these materials would be used in class.

To begin each part of the seminar with a short practice before lecturing or reading from the book. It would be a good way to identify where people have most questions or doubts about the language.

I particularly appreciated the practice of the instructor and all participants: every one kindly stopped the class each time I did not understand in Creole, and I felt I was very lucky to be part of that group. Finally, all the materials given out are very useful and I am very grateful to have receiving them." (C. Etienne)].

[• "Gramè Kreyòl Védrine may not be an answer to all sociolinguistic questions in the Haitian society; rather, it is a document witnesses the existence of the Creole language as a spoken language, a document that can serve as a guide to the native language of all Haitians. I take all my linguistic freedom together with the authority of the Haitian language to write these grammatical theories that I advance in this book. They are not inventions but rather observations of the native speakers. As a guide to the Haitian language, I hope that Gramè Kreyòl Védrine will serve as a source of inspiration to Haitians writing in Creole and for all those working very hard for the total linguistic liberation of the Creole language." -- Emmanuel W.

RIDDLES (Dévinettes : Devinèt)

2006. Di yon vèb tire yon kont. (Say a verb, I will tell you a riddle in Haitian Creole). (2nd.ed format). 125 p. [As the title indicates: Di yon vèb, tire kont, is the easiest way to use the book in order to master these riddles at the same time. The verbs are classified in alphabetical order, from A to Z, a way to make it easier to use them. Every riddle has a number in parentheses in the answers’ index. -- Every elder who dies in Haiti is a library that is lost. This statement is quite important when talking about Haitian culture and literature. Up to now, the Haitian literature (most of it) remains an oral one. Though the Kreyol language is written down today and is one of Haiti’s two official languages but if we want to get into deep analysis, we will see that more than 95% of ingredients composing the Haitian literature is not written down. There were debates (in the past) dealing the existence vs., the inexistence of a Haitian literature. Language plays a key role here. Some people would support the inexistence of a Haitian literature, basing their argument on language (in what language is the country’s literature is written?). -- If we get into deep analysis, we will see that the French language (spoken by less than 20% of the Haitian population, one that is not Haitians’ native language in which most of the country’s literature is being written) is the dominant one across the board (when it comes to in written documents). -- At the same time, if we go to the roots of any culture, we will find that everything was at the oral level first before they were written down. The writing system is just an invention that occurred later. Are we going to deny what our parents tell us, things that they lived – for the fact that they were not written down in a particular language? If we don’t believe them, our children won’t believe us either (re: things that we experience ourselves). This would be one to back up the argument supporting the existence of an oral literature which is one of the source of a written literature. -- Furthermore, everywhere in the world, people speak their native language before learning how to write it. Nobody was born with a pen in their hand (knowing how to write). We can’t deny either “writing” because it is one of the tools to document what occurred in the past. T. -- If we don’t write what we are being told, other future generations will not have access to all the cultural richness of the country; they will lose them. It is a good idea to document them by writing them in the language that they are being told which is the Kreyòl language. I believe it makes sense also to write them in the native language, not only it is our native language but also we find such a particular sensation when hearing them in that language. -- The work that Haitians authors have to do is a lot and they must be conscious of the Haitian Reality in order to bring changes with their pen.
