The Afro-Caribbean Language & Literacy Project (ACLLP) began in 1984 with Section 11 funding. It worked through classroom-based staff development along with other resources and succeeded in changing attitudes to Creole and Caribbean languages, enabling people to value their own linguistic heritage and in many cases see their languages written down for the first time.
