Psychological Factors Associated with Language in the Education of the African-American Child.

Hilliard, Asa G., III

Journal of Negro Education, v52 n1 p24-34 Win 1983

The effects of language in education are rarely accounted for in (1) measurement of intelligence; (2) diagnosis of language, speech, or learning pathology; (3) reading ability measurement; and (4) educator attitudes toward language variations. Educational malpractice in these areas may have negative effects on identity development among minorities. (Author/MJL)
