The role of AAVE in the L2 English Classroom from a teacher’s perspective(PUCE - Quito, 2024) Cañizares Mogollón, Manny Alexander; Matts, Janine MarieAfrican American Vernacular English (AAVE) is a distinct variety of English predominantly spoken in urban areas. AAVE possesses unique grammatical structures and vocabulary features that set it apart from Standard English. Although often perceived as an informal mode of English, it represents a legitimate and complex linguistic system.Globally, there are numerous varieties of English, but this research specifically focuses on AAVE due to its prevalence and usage within Ecuador. AAVE has a rich phonological and grammatical history, making it a significant dialect within the spectrum of English varieties. It is anticipated that AAVE will continue to be prominent and gain greater recognition alongside Standard English.The purpose of this project is to evaluate if African American Vernacular English (AAVE) or other forms of non-standard English are being integrated into Ecuador's educational curriculum. While Ecuador's educational system is generally regarded as effective, there is significant potential for improvement. English language teaching is vital for our academic growth, and often prioritizes standard English as the only acceptable form. However, examining English education from the perspective of nonstandard English offers an intriguing approach. This is the primary focus of my project.A crucial aspect of this project is understanding the teaching methods our educators use to develop the linguistic skills of future graduates. By conducting an extensive survey of educators in Quito, we can obtain balanced insights into the presence and application of non-standard English within our educational system. This investigation aims to reimagine English language instruction in Ecuador, thereby enhancing opportunities for international engagement.The survey will include questions about the integration of AAVE into classroom teaching and educators' familiarity with AAVE and its relevance to their professional environment. Although these questions may appear straightforward, they are deeply significant for the overall goals of this research.Recent international rankings of English proficiency in Ecuador have shed light on English teaching in the country. Methodologies and practices have been called into question, sparking a debate on which practices are most adequate for foreign English teaching. It is often questioned whether teachers should teach nonstandard varieties of English in the classroom including AAVE. Some instructors argue that students should only be taught the standard, while others advocate for exposing students to several varieties of English. This polemic will be examined in this paper.
