Michel DeGraff
Michel DeGraff is a noted Haitian Creolist who has served on the board of the ''Journal of Haitian Studies''. He is a tenured professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology〔 and a member of the Haitian Creole Academy. His field of scholarship is Creole language, also known as ''Lang Kreyòl'' Linguistics.〔 He is known for his advocacy towards the recognition of Haitian Creole as a full-fledged language.〔 In the fall of 2012, he received a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to introduce online Creole language materials in the teaching of STEM in Haiti.〔 He believes that Haitian children should be taught in their native language at all levels of instruction, contrary to the tradition of teaching them in French. Degraff believes that instruction in French, a foreign language for most Haitian children, hinders their creativity and their ability to excel.
==Early life==
As a child growing up in a middle-class Haitian family and attending a top school where the instruction was in French, Degraff reports that despite being a top student, he often felt that French was a hindrance as not speaking it well caused complexes of inferiority among otherwise bright children. He remembers believing that he spoke one and half language, Kreyòl being the "half", when in fact the language that all children spoke well by default was Kreyòl. He recalls that French, although imposed at home and at school, was never used for jokes or on the soccer field.
