The Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage: School
Edition is intended to be used by secondary schoolchildren of the Caribbean
region ages 11 to 18 and by their teachers. Its main objective is to be an
educational tool for the children of the region by promoting a strong sense of
Caribbean identity and pride in the young population, and to ensure that their
teachers will be able to learn more about themselves, their language, history
and culture and to impart such knowledge to their students with confidence.

The content is presented thematically, under topics such as Fauna, Flora, Foods, Music, Musical Instruments and Dance, Religion, Festivals,
and Folklore. The four appendices demonstrate what dictionary skills are
and the process of how to acquire them. The publication is the first of its
kind and is a landmark in Caribbean lexicography.
