Abstract
-
This essay presents primary and secondary research to illustrate why African American Vernacular English (AAVE) should be treated like other foreign languages in the teaching and learning of Standard Written English (SWE). The author argues that AAVE is not bad English but its own vernacular that has importance within the African American culture.
