American Children

Many young African American children use a linguistic variety commonly referred to as Black English Vernacular (BEV) that is different from the linguistic standard expected and required in schools. Maintaining students’ home linguistic varieties (as one form of communication) is important for self-esteem and self- and group-identity.
