teaching about English language variations
Definition
- This entry focuses on the practice of helping educators and students understand English language variations—the ways in which spoken, written, and signed varieties of English intersect with societal, educational, and economic correlates. Language variation permeates all aspects of diversity in education, including the types of materials that are used to teach students; how students are assessed; and the relationship in the classroom between students and teachers, especially with respect to school discipline.
