Scholars of African American culture explain that the traditional importance placed on oral communication in African and African American life flows from the belief in the African concept of Nommo, the generative and productive power of the spoken word. Of course the spoken word is prominent in all cultures, but in African-based cultures, the spoken word has a heightened level of significance.
As we introduce and report on exemplary educational models, we will regularly explore the intersection of language and culture in African American life. The issues related to the language of African Americans will have a prominent place in these discussions. |
Designed for use with existing curriculum and adopted text books. Engaging and student-centered, these strategies lead students toward mastery levels of academic achievement.
