Sociolinguistics, Politics, and Language Teaching
Description
Brief article on the integration of linguistic theory, language teaching, and sociolinguistics. Thoughts on some of the political and social implications of dialects, and questions about applying certain linguistic theories to the teaching of language. Compares teaching English in African American communities to teaching French in French Canadian, Franco American communities, and discusses issues surrounding language instruction in what the author calls "non-standard dialect." References to the author's Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, conferences for teachers of French held in the early 1960s.
