Why has grammar been considered a controversial area of language arts? Name two ways teachers can handle nonstandard dialects spoken in their classrooms
What will be an ideal response?
Controversy: Disagreement about content and how best to teach it. Some believe formal instruction is unnecessary or harmful. Some believe it's a key component of language arts instruction. Grammar instruction does not necessarily lead to improved oral language and writing. Nonstandard Dialects: explain that Standard English is the language of school; call Standard English "Book Language" to introduce proofreading for usage errors in student writing.
