- W2623887513 abstract "This dissertation reports on the implementation of a dialect diversity curriculum in a racially heterogeneous 6th grade classrooms. The research was guided by the following questions: (1) How do middle school students engage in curricular activities on dialect variation, identity, and power? (2) How do students’ racial identities and linguistic experiences shape their views about dialects? (3) How were students’ sociolinguistic perceptions and content learning shaped by the curriculum? (4) How do students’ attitudes about mainstream and non-mainstream dialects change over the course of the study (qualitatively and quantitatively)? Critical language pedagogy informed the creation of the curriculum. Data sources included pre- and post-survey responses, classroom observations, students’ written responses, and student interviews. Data were collected over a six-week period and critical language pedagogy drove data generation, coding, and analysis to determine what students learned and how their perceptions were shaped, changed, or stayed the same. Overall, students demonstrated growth in their understanding and appreciation of the grammaticality and legitimacy of non-mainstream dialects such as AAE and Pittsburgh dialect. However, there was little change in students’ frequent use of Standard English language ideologies in their descriptions of mainstream American English (MAE) that positioned MAE as inherently better than non-mainstream dialects such as AAE and Pittsburgh. In terms of differences in student subgroups, African American and multiracial students voiced similar perceptions about the connection between dialect use and the speaker’s identity, but White students did not acknowledge links between language varieties and identity. Furthermore, there was noticeable silence and avoidance around the topic of race from White students. Quantitative data collected from pre- and post-surveys of student perceptions did not always converge with classroom observations and students’ written responses. Findings align with scholars who suggest that code switching techniques that do not include discussions about the inherent power behind privileged dialects such as MAE have the potential to further marginalize speakers of non-mainstream dialects. Future studies should consider the way themes of institutionalized power and racial identity can be introduced to middle school students in meaningful yet understandable ways before students consider the ways power and identity intersect with language variation." @default.
