Final answer:
Research has shown that teachers should stop teaching only standard English as the norm and instead teach about Black Linguistic Consciousness and anti-Black linguistic racism. African American Vernacular English (AAVE) should be recognized as a structured linguistic system.
Step-by-step explanation:
Research on teaching in "African-American English" or other dialects has shown that teachers should stop teaching only standard English as the communicative norm. Instead, teachers should teach "Black Linguistic Consciousness" and work to unravel anti-Black linguistic racism. This includes teaching about linguistic racism and including Black perspectives in the research and teaching of Black language. Research has also shown that African American Vernacular English (AAVE) is a highly structured linguistic system with regular grammatical patterns and innovative vocabularies, rather than being seen as lazy or incorrect.
