Black English dialect has long been rooted in the socio-historical
experience of many African Americans. When discussing the most
appropriate means of promoting the success of those who speak Black
English, educators essentially focus on African American learners
because the dialect is most commonly associated with this ethnic
group. While some may emphasize the importance of recognizing and
respecting dialect differences, others place emphasis on the stigma
often associated with Black English usage in mainstream society.
Regardless of how one characterizes Black English, it is a dialect
on which many African American students rely during their daily
interactions with mainstream speakers in society. Overcoming
Language Barriers lays the foundation for readers who are genuinely
concerned about understanding fundamental Black English concepts
and promoting the success of those who speak the dialect. In this
practical resource book, Dr. Jones "thinks outside the box" by
including pertinent topics such as brain-based learning in addition
to focusing on dialect differences. She shares insightful data from
her English language arts research study as well as practical
strategies to be utilized in mainstream classrooms. The study
highlights examples of Black English features and feedback from
English language arts teachers across the United States regarding
their perceptions of Black English usage in their classrooms. This
publication is ideal for both beginning and veteran educators and
researchers seeking to effect meaningful change for linguistically
different students.
