Abstract
Chapter 3 delivers the details of enacting the Structural Inquiry of Stigmatized Englishes (SISE) approach, including a review of the curricular content and major activities and assignments. Also included is a brief introduction to the varieties that have been used as the central sources of linguistic data in the approach—African American English, Chicano English, and Appalachian English—and several illustrations of the types of linguistic analyses students conduct through the SISE approach, which highlight features of the varieties at different levels of analysis.

Notes
- 1.
In Chap. 4, I provide information regarding the specific courses and demographics of the students taught and present and analyze data collected to study the efficacy of the approach.
- 2.
Sometimes I have shifted these topics within the sequence of the course for inclusion after the content I discuss in the next section (the global spread of English, translingualism, and intercultural communication), as it allows students to study this latter content sooner in the semester and thus gives them the ability to employ the practices they are studying within the conversation partners activity, which I discuss further below.
- 3.
Descriptions of two of these assignments (the language and literacy narrative and the research paper) written for a student audience can be found in Appendix A.
