Opis

The Language Gap provides an accessible review of the language gap research, illuminating what we know and what we do not know about the language development of working and lower class youth.

Recenzje

Johnson and Johnson’s work is highly readable, engaging and informative, especially in advancing the central argument that unquestioning acceptance of the language gap only casts the responsibility of poor educational outcomes on families/ communities, whilst precluding an attendance to the systemic inequities (including raciolinguistic ideologies) that are the real issues.
