"Improper" Language Varieties

“Now you may think that it is ignorant to speak broken English. But I’m here to tell you that even ‘articulate’ Americans sound foolish to the British. So when my Professor comes on the block and says, ‘Hello’ I stop him and say ‘Noooo… You’re being inarticulate…the proper way is to say ‘what’s good’ Now you may think that’s too hood, that’s not cool. But I’m here to tell you that even our language has rules.”

Standing By Language Varieties Regardless of Approval

“At the end of one of the longest, most difficult hours of my own life, the students voted, unanimously, to preface their individual messages with a paragraph composed in the language of Reggie Jordan. ‘At least we don’t give up nothing else. At least we stick to the truth: Be who we been. And stay all the way with Reggie.’ It was heartbreaking to proceed, from that point. Everyone in the room realized that our decision in favor of Black English had doomed our writings, even as the distinctive reality of our Black lives always has doomed our efforts to “be who we been” in this country”

Not just standing by language but passing it on

I really liked how some of the teenagers on the beach shared that they worry if they don’t share or pass on the language, then there will be nothing left of it. Along the same lines Lee mentions that in making a Pidgin dictionary, he went around the community, talking to older generations, about different Pidgin words to make sure he captured as many words as possible.

Undocumented Immigrants: A Teacher Remembers a Raid

"Schools work to accommodate all children, and in 2002 a Massachusetts ballot eliminated bilingual education in favor of full immersion" (Hoagland, 20009, p. 54)

Teacher doesn't have to be perfect but has to try

“It is impossible for teachers to know all the languages of students. But it is possible for teachers to build a classroom ecology where there are books and signage in multiple languages; where collaborative groupings are constructed according to home language so that students can deeply discuss a text in the dominant school language with all their language resources; where students are allowed to write and speak with whatever resources they have and not wait until they have the “legitimate” ones to develop a voice; where all students language practices are included so as to work against the linguistic hierarchies that exist in schools; where families with different language practices are included. Any teacher, including a monolingual one, can take up translanguaging to enable their bilingual students to make deeper meaning and legitimize their home language practices”
