A Writing Seminar for Speakers of Black English
Abstract
Statement of the Problem The problem was to incorporate the findings of sociolinguistic research in Black English into a writing seminar for lower socio-economic Black students entering an institution of higher learning. This seminar was to be linguistically and pedagogically sound, efficiently structured, and motivationally effective with the result that the written dialect of Standard English would be comprehended and produced during the first term of each student's entry into the institution. The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of the use of contrastive analysis methodology as a means of reducing both the kinds and numbers of dialect interferences in each student's writing.
