Cameroon’s Multilingualism as a Pathway to Intercultural Adaptation

Speaker: Dr. Samuel Nfor

(Seitoku University)

Abstract

This talk introduces Cameroon’s multilingual landscape, with over 250 languages alongside English and French. I will share my first and second languages and explain how Cameroon Pidgin English serves as a lingua franca. Drawing on personal experience, I reflect on how multilingualism has shaped my identity, adaptability, and communication in Japan’s diverse sociocultural contexts.

MOTIVATION:

JALT OLE SIG wants to provide a space to meet and share using languages other than English, creating a community of practice. This is the Multilingual Café: meet and chat in your favorite language. The languages available depend on the participants at the event depending on what languages the participants might speak.

The presentation will be in English.
