Description
A review of recent linguistic literature reveals many problems which
speakers of black English encounter in school. The problems of learning
standard English as a second dialect are examined in terms of linguistic
differences between two dialects and, even more importantly, sociolinguistic
differences between two cultures. The approach of teaching
English as a second dialect in college is compared to teaching freshman
English by "traditional" methods and to teaching English as a second
language. As an aid to teachers of standard English as a second
dialect, one such course is described and evaluated in terms of the
students, the texts, and the teaching methods. The textbook used
Keys to American English, teaches written forms of standard English
by contrastive analysis methods. In conclusion, the results of tests
are explained, similar courses are discussed, and recommendations for
conducting such courses are made.
