Like its predecessor, Dialects in Schools and Communities, this
book illuminates major language-related issues that educational
practitioners confront, such as responding to dialect related
features in students' speech and writing, teaching Standard
English, teaching students about dialects, and distinguishing
dialect difference from language disorders. It approaches these
issues from a practical perspective rooted in sociolinguistic
research, with a focus on the research base for accommodating
dialect differences in schools. Expanded coverage includes research
on teaching and learning and attention to English language
learners. All chapters include essential information about language
variation, language attitudes, and principles of handling dialect
differences in schools; classroom-based samples illustrating the
application of these principles; and an annotated resources list
for further reading. The text is supported by a Companion Website
(www.routledge.com/cw/Reaser) providing additional resources
including activities, discussion questions, and audio/visual
enhancements that illustrate important information and/or
pedagogical approaches. Comprehensive and authoritative, Dialects
at School reflects both the relevant research bases in linguistics
and education and educational practices concerning language
variation. The problems and examples included are authentic, coming
from the authors' own research, observations and interactions in
public school classrooms, and feedback in workshops. Highlights
include chapters on oral language and reading and writing in
dialectally diverse classrooms, as well as a chapter on language
awareness for students, offering a clear and compelling overview of
how teachers can inspire students to learn more about language
variation, including their own community language patterns. An
inventory of dialect features in the Appendix organizes and expands
on the structural descriptions presented in the chapters.
