Valerie Felita Kinloch. Revisiting the Promise of Students' Right to Their Own Language: Pedagogical Strategies.

Kinloch, Valerie Felita. "Revisiting the Promise of Students' Right to Their Own Language: Pedagogical Strategies.." CCC 57.1 (2005): 83-113.

Abstract

The implications of the Students' Right to Their Own Language resolution on classroom teaching and practices point to a continual need to reevaluate how communicative actions: linguistic diversities: of students are central aspects of the work within composition courses. This article revisits the historical significance and pedagogical value of the resolution in its critique of student-teacher exchanges, in its advancement of strategies that invite language variations into composition courses, and in its proposal to support the expressive rights of students.
