Vernacular

Vernacular means not standard
Calling it African American Vernacular implies that it is nonstandard and only elevates American English as the "best English".

Scramble for Africa

European nations laid out a map of Africa and decided who was going to claim areas of the continent as their colonies.

Language and Culture

adriennestallman04 — 2025-05-15 18:54:25 UTC

Language and culture shapes a person's identity because their language represents how they usually communicate with others, and their culture represents their lifestyle and the things they value. Language can impact the connections you make in life, while culture influences things such as the clothes you wear, the food you eat, the things you like and dislike, and so much more.

AAE

AAE allowed slaves to use the same language with double meanings so they could talk about their "massa" in front of him.

It wasn't until the 60s and 70s that people started recognizing that AAE had linguistic value.

Carmen Fought - The Distinctive Dialect of Chicano English

adriennestallman04 — 2025-05-31 01:04:09 UTC

"A coworker of mine asked me recently, “Why do so many Mexican-American students seem to have such a hard time speaking English, even they were born here in the U.S.?” I realized that her comment was based on a mistaken impression. She heard some students speaking English with what sounded like a Spanish accent, and assumed that Spanish was their first language. Instead, what she was probably hearing was Chicano English. Chicano English is a dialect spoken mainly by people of Mexican ethnic origin in California and the Southwest. There are other varieties associated with Latino communities as well."

Respecting Culture

When working with ESL students, it is important to always be respecting their culture and first language. Teachers should take time to learn about the student's background.

Quote by Federico Fellini

"A different language is a different vision of life"

Patience

adriennestallman04 — 2025-06-01 00:41:06 UTC

Teachers should recognize that learning a new language is a process that takes patience. Each student moves at their own pace.

Identity

adriennestallman04 — 2025-06-01 00:44:03 UTC

Teachers need to recognize that correcting a child's language is not always the best option. Teachers need to understand that a child's language is part of what makes them who they are. Their language should not be dismissed while teaching them a new language.
