Available for adults, this is an opportunity for Black English (BE) speakers to learn more about their linguistic practices and BE’s connections to identity, history, and community.
By the end of the program, participants will (1) complete a self study of their own language practices (2) unravel the history, grammar, and rhetoric of BE, and (3) co-construct resources and guidelines for local classrooms based on the findings of the collective group’s work.
