English Language Variations, Teaching About
This entry focuses on the practice of helping educators and students understand English language variations—the ways in which spoken, written, and signed varieties of English intersect with societal, educational, and economic correlates. Language variation permeates all aspects of diversity in education, including the types of materials that are used to teach students; how students are assessed; and the relationship in the classroom between students and teachers, especially with respect to school discipline. The following sections discuss the ways in which English varies, the varieties of English that exist, and effective pedagogies for teaching about these varieties to educators and students.
Factors in Language Variation
Language variation is a normal function of language and of the human capacity for language. The specific factors that lead to language variation are a subject of active research. Abrupt changes in population, including migration and cross-cultural contact, can create specific and widespread changes in languages, but speakers who live in the same place and talk to the same people their whole lives also exhibit language variation and change. Such natural variation, known as inherent variation, reflects the nonstatic nature of language as it is used and shared among people.
Forms of English Language Variation
Even before the emergence of modern linguistics and sociolinguistics, the documentation of English language variation was common through the creation of dictionaries, grammar books, and style guides used both in education and in such professions as acting and journalism. Such guides reveal how the English language has changed over time (diachronic change) and how it varies across speakers in a given period of time (synchronic change). The rise of sociolinguistics in particular has encouraged the systematic analysis of language variation in any language. This analysis is based on linguistic elements, including sound (phonology), grammar (syntax and morphology), vocabulary (lexicon), melody and rhythm (prosody), conversation patterns (discourse), and gestures (nonverbal communication). Language variation, including English language variation, may correlate with various social factors, including but not limited to age, communities of practice, ethnicity, gender, geographic location, individual identity, peer influence, power dynamics, sexual orientation, race, and socioeconomic status.
Documented Varieties of English
The best-documented varieties of English are those used by people in power in schools, government, and other social institutions. In the United States, there is no official prescribed variety of English that is taught or mandated, yet there are general guidelines that suggest the existence of a dominant form of standardized English that is maintained by people and institutions of power, including U.S. school systems. In the United Kingdom, Received Pronunciation (also called the Queen's or King's English) is the historical, formal, prescribed prestige variety of English. In the United Kingdom today, however, there is no one official variety of English.
Varieties that are the most unlike the standardized varieties have also been well documented in academic research. In the United States, varieties of English spoken by African Americans and those from the southeastern region of the country have been the subject of much study, as have the language varieties of working-class Whites in urban and rural areas and other varieties known as Latin@ English and Indian English. The English spoken by those for whom English is not a first language is an increasing area of study around the world.
