Student language narratives and discrimination.
Abstract
Traditional language instruction has focused around the binary of prescriptive/descriptive grammar, and thus issues of correctness, sociolinguistic research highlights language practices within social contexts. An increased awareness of language in context has resulted in a concomitant understanding that language discrimination is rooted in social inequities. Title VII of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is discussed, along with the recent increase in language discrimination suits. The importance of communicating to students their rights and responsibilities regarding language diversity is explored through school and workplace narratives.
