African American, Creole, and Other Vernacular Englishes in Education

More than forty years of scholarly attention to the intersection of language and education have resulted in a rich body of literature on the role of vernacular language varieties in the classroom. This field of work can be bewildering in its size and variety, drawing as it does on the diverse methods, theories, and research paradigms of fields such as sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, psychology, and education. This comprehensive bibliography of complete citations for over 650 journal articles, periodical articles, books, book chapters, and unpublished dissertations on this vital topic book provides a tool useful for those interested in the complex issue of how knowledge about language variation can be used to more effectively teach students who speak a nonstandard or stigmatized language variety.
