The purpose of this text is twofold: to explain and illustrate how language varieties function in the classroom and in students’ lives and to detail linguistically informed instructional strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough anecdotes from the classroom, lesson plans, and accessible narrative, \u003cem\u003eTeaching About Dialect Variations and Language in Secondary English Classrooms\u003c\/em\u003e introduces theory and clearly builds the bridge to daily classroom practices that respect students’ language varieties and use those varieties as strengths upon which secondary English teachers can build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explains how to teach about language variations and ideologies in the classroom; uses typically taught texts as models for exploring how power, society, and identity interact with language, literature, and students’ lives.
