Vershawn Ashanti Young, along with Asao Inoue, Geneva Smitherman, and more recently April Baker-Bell, have long fought against oppressive language standards in education. It is not enough, they have jointly argued, to accept non-standardized Englishes as \u201cother\u201d varieties, allowed in informal situations but not academics. This style shifting, or code switching, suggests that these Englishes, and the speakers of such Englishes, cannot exist in professional arenas, thus preserving dominant White English\u2019s place of power. To uphold students\u2019 rights to their own language, educators need to center, not other, these languages. This chapter presents a writing assignment that legitimizes non-standardized systems of communication, including regional and cultural Englishes, and invites students to interrogate their attitudes toward language diversity. The Non-Standardized Grammar Assignment is reminiscent of the literacy narrative, except with a more intentional turn toward grammar and linguistic racism. It is best suited for a first-year writing class, although with some adjustments, it can accommodate more advanced courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheyenne Franklin Assignments &amp; Activities Archive Assignment Description \u201c\u2026 dont nobody\u2019s language, dialect, or style make them \u2018vulnerable to prejudice.\u2019 It\u2019s ATTITUDES\u201d (Young 110).
