    This resource provides an information about the teachers’ unpreparedness to work with the people using AAVE.

The resource provides the possible approaches to teaching such people.
    The information provided here is an in-depth survey. An academic approach to the problem makes it possible to identify the main misuses of noun inflections, demonstratives, pronouns, questions, negations etc. Both external and internal validity of this resource have been constrained because participants’ survey responses are considered to be potentially unreliable. Second, the choice of the participants of the survey does not reflect the real picture of ethnical map of the United States. In fact, it reflects the language choice of the people living in the southeast US. This way, the current survey requires further research in the peculiarities of the use of English language in other US states.
