More than 50 years of scholarly attention to the intersection of
language and education have resulted in a rich body of literature
on the role of vernacular language varieties in the classroom. This
field of work can be bewildering in its size and variety, drawing
as it does on the diverse methods, theories, and research paradigms
of fields such as sociolinguistics, applied linguistics,
psychology, and education. Compiling most of the publications from
the past half century that deal with this critical topic, this
volume includes more than 1600 references (books, articles in
journals or books, and web-accessible dissertations and other
works) on education in relation to African American Vernacular
English AAVE], English-based pidgins and creoles, Latina/o English,
Native American English, and other English vernaculars such as
Appalachian English in the United States and Aboriginal English in
Australia), with accompanying abstracts for approximately a third
of them. This comprehensive bibliography provides a tool useful for
those interested in the complex issue of how knowledge about
language variation can be used to more effectively teach students
who speak a nonstandard or stigmatized language variety.
