Edgerson, David – Online Submission, 2006
America is a true melting pot, as exemplified by the diversity of students in our classrooms.

Failure to embrace multiculturalism allows members of society to continue to promote disenfranchisement. For example, proponents of the complex,…

Brown, David West – Linguistics and Education: An International Research Journal, 2006
Language instruction in secondary education is dominated by standard language ideology--a view of language that sanctions one ("standard") variety at the expense of other ("nonstandard") ones. While it is clear that students need access to privileged rhetorical forms, it is similarly clear that most current pedagogies do not facilitate such access…

Because foreign attitudes toward AAVE can serve as an indirect assessment of a society's racial prejudice, we decided to explore these attitudes in Japan: a country with an intriguing mix of…

Wible, Scott – College Composition and Communication, 2006
This essay examines a Brooklyn College-based research collective that placed African American languages and cultures at the center of the composition curriculum.

Marzluf, Phillip P. – College Composition and Communication, 2006
Though diversity serves as a valuable source for rhetorical inquiry, expressivist instructors who privilege diversity writing may also overemphasize the essential authenticity of their students' vernaculars. This romantic and salvationist impulse reveals the troubling implications of eighteenth-century Natural Language Theory and may,…
