Answer

The answer to this question can be found in LEA chapter 7. We can study the history of dialects and how dialects affect our language. Through this study, we will look at a myriad of languages and what they share in common with Standard English. In many interviews with students, they study grammar and syntax best when learning a different language. We can use this information and look at other languages within our classroom and show how it relates to English. We could include students who speak a native language to teach it to the class, so they can feel more included and like an expert for the day. We can also make this into an integrated study when including the history of English, those who are bilingual in America, how it has changed due to immigration, and then connect to current events.
