Biography

She received a pedagogical education. In the years 1965-1990, she used to work in a number of schools and colleges in Malaysia.

She takes active measures to revive Kristang. She lectures on Kristang at the invitation of a number of world universities and public organizations (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, 1997, Eurasian Association in Singapore, 2011; University of Malaya, 2014).[1] She publishes dictionaries and phrase books, translates poetry and songs into this language, tries to introduce Kristang to be studied in primary schools in places where the Creole population lives, especially in Malacca.[2]

She was an organizer of the conference "On the Conservation and Development of the Malayo-Portuguese Creole Language and Heritage in Malaysia" (January 1996), the initiator of the establishment in 2010 a department of the life of the Eurasian community in the Peoples Museum Melaka,[3] the holding of a seminar on Kristang in cooperation with the Corporation of Malacca Museums in December 2011 and the International Conference on Creole Languages in June 2012 in Malacca (in cooperation with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro).

In conjunction with the 500th anniversary of the conquest of Malacca by Portuguese (1511) she produced and published in 2012 a set of three books: "The Commemorative Dictionary of Serani", "Speak Serani" and "Serani Songs". Earlier, Kristang was called Serani, and Joan Marbeck believes that it is necessary to return that name. In Kuala Lumpur, in 2014, she opened courses to study the Kristang.^{[citation needed]}

Having musical education, he writes musicals too. In 1994, she was invited to write and stage the musical "Saint Francis Xavier - the main saint of India" in conjunction with the centenary of the Church of St. Francis Xavier in Malacca.[4] In 2009, she wrote and presented to the competition of the Lusophone Festival in Macau a monoplay in Kristang 'Seng Marianne' (Without Marianne). In December 2010, in Kuala Lumpur with the sponsorship of the Brazilian Embassy, her musical "Kazamintu na Praiya" (A Wedding on the Beach) in Kristang was staged.[5]
