The Misteaching of Academic Discourse
- List Price: $76.00
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Westview Press
- Publish date: 04/09/1998
Unlike more conventional literature on language learning in which the political dimensions of language learning are seldom acknowledged or addressed, Bartolome candidly discusses the dominant deficit ideology that underlies the cultural difference explanations of linguistic minority students' academic underachievement. She also tackles the romantization ideology that implicitly presents dominant culture ways of speaking as more advanced and desirable.
The Misteaching of Academic Discourse is not only timely, given our present national obsession with Ebonics; it is a must-read for those educators who are faced with issues of language, race, and class.
