REACTIONS OF PROSPECTIVE ENGLISH TEACHERS TOWARD SPEAKERS OF A NON‐STANDARD DIALECT

Abstract

This study tests the hypothesis that prospective English teachers have unfavorable stereotypes of speakers of non‐standard English dialects. After listening to a recorded tape of black and white speakers with standard and non‐standard styles of pronunciation, subjects were asked to judge solely on phonological variation certain personality characteristics, the races, and probable occupations of the speakers. Results tend to support the original hypothesis.
