I was just conversing with a classmate (amanda) on the incorporation of "black english" into the classrooms of today. We talked about how incorporating or letting students use "black english" or "latino english" in the classroom may make them feel a little more comfortable in the class itself. We talked about how if students could use thier vernacular language in the class then they may be more interested than in a classroom where they would be corrected or repremanded. We think that if teachers let students talk how they want and write how they want, then mid way through the year "code switching" could be introduced and the students would be more likely and more willing to make an effort to learn when to use "standard english" and when to use "black english" or "latino english. " We aso were wondering how are teachers today incorporating "balck english" into their classrooms? Assuming they are at all. What do you think about these languages? Do you think they should be incorporated or not? And how should they be incorporated?
