Abstract

In recent years, much has been said about various groups of disadvantaged children in our school systems. Teaching disadvantaged speakers of non-standard English has been a topic of special interest. The educational practices and theories of linguists and educators concerning speakers of Black dialect are widely varied. Three views are currently under discussion: (1) eradication, (2) bidialectalism, and (3) appreciation of dialect differences. These views will be described and an argument for the appreciation of dialect differences will be put forth.
