Abstract

Historically, language instruction involving Black Language (BL) assumes a goal of eradication, particularly in school-sanctioned literacy practices. Language arts education for Black students must be liberatory, that is, antiracist and artful. The opportunities for English Language Arts (ELA) teachers to create, augment, and change the course of traditional ELA methods are abundant. In this article, the author takes up “inquiry as a stance” to provide a retrospective analysis of the implementation of two Artful Language Learning Opportunities (ALLOs) from an uncritical code-switching unit plan designed for 11th-grade students in 2011, and to offer ways that the ALLOs were (and could be) modified to center the dynamism that BL and thus disrupt White linguistic hegemony. This study's implications highlight the need to shift language instruction toward exploring critical concepts, embracing cultural pride, and incorporating equitable frameworks to empower students and transform teaching practices. By prioritizing the study of BL, educators can create inclusive learning environments that recognize and celebrate linguistic diversity, and, in doing so, understand that mastery in standardized English(es) is an inevitable outcome.

“改变流程”:艺术语言学习机会的回顾性分析
从历史上看,涉及黑人语言(BL)的语言教学以根除为目标,特别是在学校批准的扫盲实践中。黑人学生的语言艺术教育必须是解放性的,即反种族主义和艺术性的。英语语言艺术(ELA)教师创造、扩充和改变传统ELA方法的机会是丰富的。在这篇文章中,作者以“探究为立场”,对2011年为11年级学生设计的一个不加批判的代码转换单元计划中两个巧妙的语言学习机会(ALLO)的实施情况进行了回顾性分析,并提出了修改ALLO的方法,以集中BL的活力,从而打破白人语言霸权。这项研究的启示强调了将语言教学转向探索批判性概念、拥抱文化自豪感以及纳入公平框架以增强学生能力和转变教学实践的必要性。通过优先考虑BL的学习,教育工作者可以创造包容性的学习环境,承认和庆祝语言多样性,并在这样做的过程中理解掌握标准化英语是不可避免的结果。
