ESSAY ON: Gilyard/Language Competence & Teaching English

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page research paper that summarizes and analyzes three chapters from Keith Gilyard's Voices of the Self: A Study of Language Competence. The writer argues that this text provides a useful tool to those students contemplating careers in education as English teachers, particularly in regards to students who are white. This is because Gilyard, as an African American English teacher, draws on his personal experience to discuss aspects of the problem of transmitting language skills in Standard English to African American students. This examination of Gilyard's text profiles the conclusions and themes presented in three representative chapters. No additional sources cited.
