Controversy exists as to the specific approach to use in |
|
teaching language arts skills to culturally and |
|
linguistically different children who speak non-standard |
|
English. Three primary approaches involve eradicating, |
|
maintaining, or expanding the home language systems of |
|
such children. In the expansion approach, children are |
|
taught to use standard English in appropriate context |
|
while respecting and maintaining their home language or |
|
dialect. The role of the teacher is important in helping |
|
these children learn to interpret written and oral forms |
|
of standard English. The teacher should make an |
|
assessment of the cultural and linguistic diversity |
|
within their classrooms and should be speech models for |
|
children. Specific strategies can be implemented to |
|
assist children in building language facility. These |
|
include: (1) using the language experience approach; (2) |
|
using pictures to build a visual-auditory association; |
|
(3) reading stories to students; (4) using techniques |
|
such as expansions, sentence building, sentence |
|
combining, and transformation to manipulate oral |
|
sentences; and (5) integrating language instruction |
|
within other academic areas. (JDD) |
