| Abstract | Black English Vernacular (BEV) is spoken in more or less pure form by many, if not most, of the inner-city students attending college under plans like open enrollment. In cities, most blacks, Puerto Ricans, and many other non-native speakers speak or can speak a form of BEV. The prevalence of BEV in elementary and secondary schools of the inner city is even greater. BEV is a dialect of English which is infinite in scope and fully capable in principle of expressing anything which can be meant in any dialect in English. However, most English teachers neither speak BEV nor know anything about it. To negatively evaluate a paper written in BEV is to contradict the humanistic view of the value of each individual and the goal of English teaching as maximizing personal human growth--which is a position we cannot hold either politically or pedagogically. All teachers of reading and writing must make clear to their students the differences between written and spoken language using situations and the concomitant differences between written and spoken language conventions. This can and should be done for all speakers, for written and spoken English are different for all. (LL) |
