Men wi! Tande ak wè se de.
Dominique te vin mete tou lè pwen sou lè zi… Hey! Se kon sa yo di li….lè pwen sou lè zi?!!!! Si w tande sa, se vwa Bondye sèlman ki ta pi bèl. Men si w bezwen tande vwa zanj, koute Dominique k ap chante.
Lè se edikasyon timoun k ap pale, ou konnen fòk nou fè li trè anmizan pou timoun nan kapab enterese aprann, enpi konsa nan de tan twa mouvman, timoun nan ap gentan aprann byen vit! Li p ap janm konnen si se lekòl li te ye. Lè mèt la fè leson an enteresan, elèv la si tèlman enterese nan leson an, li pa genyen tan pou li fè tèt di, eske se pa vre?
Bon ledikasyon se trezò yon pèp. Ou konn tande yo di w peyi Ayiti gen ja lajan ki kache – Enben, mwen menm, mwen di w ja lajan Ayiti se nan ledikasyon yo bay timoun yo. Si ledikasyon an pa solid, oubyen si se yon ledikasyon ki pa kanpe sou anyen, timoun yo p ap ka kare ak lòt elèv menm fòs ak yo ki nan menm peyi.
Tande non! Lòt elèv yo gentan gen avantaj, kote se nan lang yo grandi, tande ak pale lakay yo yo resevwa ledikasyon. Men nan peyi Ayiti, ou grandi ap tande kreyòl, men ledikasyon an pa fèt konplètman an kreyòl. Mezanmi, trezò pèp la se nan bon jan ledikasyon ki ‘tèt anwo”.
Elève nan Ecole Mixte L’union des Frères deside pou mete chanjman. Yo pral chante alfabè kreyòl la.
Enben si w patko konnen, kounye a nou di w sa! Ecole Mixte Union Des Frères p ap jwe non! Lè m retounen lakay yo ankò, mwen pral fè yo chante pou m ka wè yo k ap danse. Se sa nèt!
Etablisman Ecole Mixte Union des Frères la
Anpil lekòl te deside fè gwo pa annavan, e Institution Mixte Regeneration se youn ladan yo. Si nou kwè m manti, gade foto yo ki kanpe ak DVD alfabè Kreyòl la nan men yo, pou yo chante, pou yo aprann. Lè m retounen wè yo – Mwen ta renmen tande timoun sa yo ki ap chante kou lezanj! Konpliman pou direktè lekòl sa a, Mesye Fabien Mercy, ki ap fè yon gran travay nan zòn wout Kafou, Mon Repos 36, #9. Ou kapab jwenn ni nan 509 37490154 pou plis enfòmasyon sou lekòl la.
Edikasyon fèt lakay, nan lekòl, nan lari, nan jaden, tout kote yon moun kapab aprann yon bagay.
Se sa wi, ledikasyon koumanse lakay mezanmi.
Si w bezwen timoun ou aprann yon bagay, pa tann pou lekòl la anseye li.
Wi, se devwa lekòl la pou li anseye timoun yon sèten bagay,
Men ou dwe toujou genyen zye sou sa timoun ou ap aprann,
kèlkeswa se te lekòl, legliz, onswa nenpòt kote a.
Pa kite vwazen anseye timoun ou yon bagay ke ou te ka anseye timoun nan.
Pa kite zanmi anseye timoun ou nan plas ou.
Pa kite televizyon anseye timoun ou.
Pa kite timoun aprann yon seri bagay nan chante.
Se ou ki paran timoun nan. Se ou Bondye bay responsab timoun nan.
M ap di w yon bagay – Koute byen. M ap ekri l byen klè pou ka sonje sa:
Kòm yon paran, ou dwe egzèse dwa w kòm gadyen baryè timoun ou ak kay ou.
Sa w tande a! Se ou ki gadyen baryè fwaye w.
Sa w pa bay dwa antre pa ka antre.
Sa w pa bay dwa sòti pa ka sòti.
Anvan w bat je w timoun nan ap gentan grandi. Ou p ap kapab opere baryè a ankò.
Donk egzèse dwa w kounye a menm, pou w ka fòme timoun nan ak drese l selon kwayans ou.
Èske w janm tande yon timoun grandi pou repwoche paran li pou disiplin li resevwa? NON!
Men ou toujou tande jan, lè timoun nan grandi, l ap remèsye paran l pou disiplin li te resevwa.
Donk, paran, fè devwa w!
Timoun nan College Mixte Frère Duverger ki ap resevwa bon ledikasyon sou direksyon Frère Duverger pral chante alfabè kreyòl la.
The song’s original video (“Chante Alfabè Kreyòl 1”) inspired a follow-up video (“Chante Alfabè Kreyòl 2”) illustrating the basic principles of the Kreyòl alphabet. Both videos are available for preview via Louis-Charles’ YouTube channel.
Recalling a school-girl’s experience in Haiti:
When Mandaly Louis-Charles was growing up in Haiti, instruction there was primarily in French, a language largely unfamiliar to most students. Children memorized their ABC’s and words and phrases in French, then learned their meanings. “Back then,” remembers Mandaly, “we couldn’t escape the monotonous chants of children reciting their lessons by heart, in a school with few dividing walls.”
The video animation is polished and appealing. The percussion accompaniment doesn’t overpower the lyrics or Louis-Charles’ exquisite voice. The listener hears each letter sound and word clearly, while the beat of the congas sings under the words. DeGraff recently predicted, “I believe Mandaly’s voice, with the drumming accompaniment, will become a big hit in Haiti!”
About production of the video, Mandaly states, “I’m glad to have worked with Bémol Telfort on the instrumental accompaniment. He’s a gifted musician and we both had a lot of fun working on this project. Everything came together beautifully when Robert Capria of ActualityFilms.Com came on board. Capria has spent time in Haiti and his familiarity with the scenery shows in his work.”
The introduction of the first Kreyòl Alphabet Song in the year 2015 is remarkable when one considers the 1835 copyright date of the traditional English language alphabet song. The traditional English alphabet song, which does not include the letter sounds, is sung to the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Louis-Charles’ melody, in contrast, is both new and original.
The delay of 180 years in developing a Haitian Creole alphabet song may be attributed at least in part to the fact that Haitian Creole was seldom used in written form before the 1960’s (with French spellings) or the 1980’s with the official spelling system in use today—the one illustrated in the Kreyòl Alphabet Song.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)-Haiti Initiative was founded in 2010 with the goal of developing, evaluating and disseminating technology-enhanced resources for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM subjects) in Haitian Creole—a necessary ingredient for quality and access in Haiti. These resources will serve as tools to change and improve the education system in Haiti.(1) The MIT-Haiti Initiative has developed teaching materials and methods, and produced videos that demonstrate the advantages of lessons taught through active learning techniques and in the students’ native tongue, Haitian Creole. In collaboration with the Ministry of National Education, the Initiative aims at incorporating these Kreyòl-based active-learning resources into the teaching of STEM throughout the country, in order to eventually create a strong basis for sustainable development through innovation.
Promoting the use of Kreyòl in classroom instruction, beginning with the very first years of schooling and continuing through all academic levels up to university, will enhance students’ learning, and will impact their future academic success. The Haitian Creole Alphabet Song is an important tool in the arsenal for this continued battle to improve the lot of Haitians and the economic future of their country, by building up and strengthening their education system.
Matin Magazine nan TNH te Patisipe Règ Bare nan Chante Alfabè Kreyòl la
Talking about the Haitian Creole alphabet
Ekip Matin Magazine te Kontan koute chante alfabè a
23 Fevriye 2016, bèl mesyedam Matin Magazine yo te fè yon ti chita sou chèn televizyon nasyonal TNH la pou pale sou bèl zouti chante alfabè kreyòl la ki ap ede anpil timoun aprann alfabè lang yo ak kè kontan. Bèl konpliman pou Jean Mary Simon, Fabiaula Dumas ak Cassandra Cindy Destine ki se bon fouyapòt. Yo toujou ap chache ak fouye pou yo toujou jwenn bon kichòy pou tele espektatè yo, se pou sa nou pa manke pa renmen yo.
Kote ou janm wè timoun leve danse pou yo aprann alfabè kreyòl? Mwen menm, mwen poko wè sa non! Lè m t ap aprann alfabè ka Soeurs Salésiennes Haiti lontan, se yon gwo règ men longè pwofesè m nan te kenbe nan men ni. Lè pou n ta sòti deyò nan rekreyasyon pou nou fè yon ti pale kreyòl ak zanmi nou, O O! yo lage baton nan dengonn nou! Kounye a pwofesè a pran tanbou li, li pran mizik, li di tout timoun, brase bouda nou pou nou chante alfabè kreyòl la. Tèt chaje! Kon di Iv Dejan “Lekòl yo pral tèt anwo wi, si nou ba yo bon zouti konsa” ke pwofesè Michel Degraff ak Mandaly Louis-Charles te kreye.
[San edikasyon pèp la ap peri vre!
Edikasyon se yon gran envestisman. Ou envesti ladan kounye a, enpi pita li bay gwo retou. Li pa sèlman bay rannman lajan non! Li bay fyète, respè, richès nan konesans, bon savwa nan koze teknoloji avanse, ….. li bay posibilite ki san limit. ]
Èske elèv nan lekòl ou yo kapab klasifye tout kalite vwayèl ki gen nan alfabè kreyòl la?
Si ou genyen yon timoun ki ale lekòl, mande li pou li di w kisa yon vwayèl nen ye. Mande li tou èske li kapab nonmen demi vwayèl yo. Enpi tou fè li esplike w ki sa yo rele yon vwayèl bouch.
Lekòl sa yo ki anlè a ap fè pwogrè – yo pral chante alfabè kreyòl la.
