Teaching Writing Skills to Dialectically Different Students

Williams, Darnell

Journal of Negro Education, 43, 3, 329-31, Sum 74

Dialectically different students can more easily be taught expository writing and reading skills if the teacher approaches the students' language and culture with a positive attitude, makes use of the students' cultural experiences, and selects reading materials with which students can relate to.
