“Building on 50 years of linguistic and sociolinguistic research into the systematic nature of English varieties, Charity Hudley and Mallinson further the important next step of exploring how these linguistic differences play out in classrooms and schools with academic and social consequences for students. As the work of constructing culturally and linguistically sustaining classrooms continues, teachers will need additional detail for how to build a linguistically informed approach into specific instructional units. This text will support teacher educators, teacher leaders and teachers themselves in advancing that work.” —Pedagogies: An International Journal
