In today's classrooms, students possess and use many culturally,
ethnically, and regionally diverse English language varieties that
may differ from standardized English. This book helps classroom
teachers become attuned to these differences and offers practical
strategies to support student achievement while fostering positive
language attitudes in classrooms and beyond. The text contrasts
standardized varieties of English with Southern, Appalachian, and
African American English varieties, focusing on issues that are of
everyday concern to those who are assessing the linguistic
competence of students. Featuring a narrative style with teaching
strategies and discussion questions, this practical resource:
Provides a clear, introductory explanation of what is meant by
non-standard English, from both linguistic and educational
viewpoints. Emphasizes what educators needs to know about language
variation in and outside of the classroom. Addresses the social
factors accompanying English language variation and how those
factors interact in real classrooms.
