Stigmatized and Standardized Varieties in the Classroom: Interference or Separation?
Siegel, Jeff
TESOL Quarterly, v33 n4 p701-28 Win 1999
Summarizes research on educational programs that use stigmatized varieties of English in the classroom, and reviews relevant theory and research in psycholinguistics and second language acquisition. Research on educational programs shows that using the stigmatized variety in formal education seems to have a positive effect on the acquisition of the standard. (Author/VWL)
