This book describes language diversity and classroom discourse:
language use in the classroom in which children are dialect
speakers. Specifically, the authors observed and videotaped a wide
range of activities including whole groups with the teacher, small
groups with and without the teacher, and one-on-one interaction, in
kindergarten, fourth- and sixth- grade classrooms. The book is a
description of what was found. Classroom language use is discussed
in terms of language functions. The book also includes a discussion
of why dialect is an issue and an overview of how dialect has been
dealt with by researchers and practitioners. Finally, dialect
diversity in the classroom is considered in light of the
relationship between language, education, and society at large. The
study is unique in that it provides a quantitative as well as
qualitative picture of language use in the classroom with dialect
speakers.
