Great info for ESOL teachers too!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is an excellent introduction to the problems ESOL teachers have with the newer waves of immigrants from other English-speaking countries. Though the book concentrates on U.S. -- mostly African-American-- dialect differences, it could also be used as a starting point for creating policies for Caribbean and African students who speak other dialects or creoles, who are not intelligible to American teachers, yet who don't need ESOL classes. The next step would be to examine these newer populations and figure out what kind of classes they DO need. Highly recommended.
