We explored how a group of 105 diverse middle‐school students self‐assessed their work as readers and writers during a summer enrichment program. Findings from the study revealed hauntings related to youth perceptions of language and literacy, evidence of a ghostly presence of standard language ideology. In the self‐assessments, youth discussed speed and volume, in addition to surface features of language, more frequently than meaning‐related aspects of literacy. These findings indicate the persistence of traditional definitions of literacy and thus the need for teaching that disrupts narrow understandings about the nature of reading, writing, and language.

更多，更快，更整洁：中学生的自我评估的扫盲问题

我们探讨了由105名不同的初中学生组成的小组如何在夏季丰富计划中自我评估他们作为读者和作家的工作。研究发现，困扰青少年的语言和读写能力与标准语言意识形态的存在有关。在自我评估中，与语言的表面特征相比，青年比与意义相关的识字方面更经常讨论速度和音量。这些发现表明，传统的扫盲定义仍然存在，因此需要进行教学，破坏对阅读，写作和语言本质的狭narrow理解。
