Abstract

Many students enter school speaking nonstandard dialects of English. Because Standard English is expected in institutions like schools and businesses, mastery of the standard dialect is important for nonstandard dialect-speaking students. The English as a Second Dialect (ESD) program is intended to teach students mastery of Standard English through culturally responsive pedagogy. This handbook reviews the research related to second-dialect teaching, then outlines suggestions for classroom use. The target audience is classroom teachers, administrators, and ESD specialist teachers. (Contains 65 references).
