CHAPTER FIVE: ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION

Introduction

English is considered as a universal language all around the world and in most parts of the world it is the only language spoken by the people. Although there are still some parts of the globe where English language is unknown and unspoken, it is considered as the primary language in most parts of the world. One of the primary reasons why this language is accepted universally as the primary language is because of the fact that it is a mixture of several native languages and encompasses keywords from several languages.

Since English is a language spoken universally, it has developed several dialects and accents, depending on the part of the world where it is spoken. The accent and dialect of English spoken in every country and every continent is different from each other. The difference fluctuates, in some cases heavily and in some cases it is just a minor fluctuation from the standard language.

Additionally, this paper also studied the impact of vernacular English of African Americans on the attitude of teachers towards such students and other factors such as cultural mistrust, age and biasness. This paper was a qualitative study that analysed the education's impact on African American preschool teachers' attitudes toward AAVE in their students developing speech.

African American Vernacular English (AAVE) integrates those segments of the society that speak English in a very similar accent and dialect and is different from the English spoken by people belonging to other races and cultures. The Ebonics, Black Vernacular and Black English are some labels that are usually applied to such segments with such ...
