Standardized tests demand Standard English, but secondary
students (grades 6-12) come to school speaking a variety of
dialects and languages, thus creating a conflict between students
language of nurture and the expectations of school. The purpose of
this text is twofold: to explain and illustrate how language
varieties function in the classroom and in students lives and to
detail linguistically informed instructional strategies. Through
anecdotes from the classroom, lesson plans, and accessible
narrative, it introduces theory and clearly builds the bridge to
daily classroom practices that respect students language varieties
and use those varieties as strengths upon which secondary English
teachers can build. The book explains how to teach about language
variations and ideologies in the classroom; uses typically taught
texts as models for exploring how power, society, and identity
interacts with language, literature, and students lives; connects
the Common Core State Standards to the concepts presented; and
offers strategies to teach the sense and structure of Standard
English and other language variations, so that all students may add
Standard English to their linguistic toolboxes. "

CO-PUBLISHED BY ROUTLEDGE AND THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF TEACHERS OF
ENGLISH Grammar to Get Things Done offers a fresh lens on grammar
and grammar instruction, designed for middle and secondary
pre-service and in-service English teachers. It shows how form,
function, and use can help teachers move away from decontextualized
grammar instruction (such as worksheets and exercises emphasizing
rule-following and memorizing conventional definitions) and begin
considering grammar in applied contexts of everyday use. Modules
(organized by units) succinctly explain common grammatical
concepts. These modules help English teachers gain confidence in
their own understanding while positioning grammar instruction as an
opportunity to discuss, analyze, and produce language for real
purposes in the world. An important feature of the text is
attention to both the history of and current attitudes about
grammar through a sociocultural lens, with ideas for teachers to
bring discussions of language-as-power into their own classrooms.
