Building on the authors' highly acclaimed first collaboration, "Understanding English Language Variation in U.S. Schools," this book examines the need to integrate linguistically informed teaching into the secondary English classroom. "We Do Language" features concrete strategies, models, and vignettes, as well as classroom materials developed by English educators "for" English educators. It is essential reading for anyone interested in learning about the role that language plays in the experiences of students, both in secondary and postsecondary environments.
