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：中学生对自我评估的扫盲问题的关注

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知识丰富计划中自我评估他们作为读者和作家的工作。该研究的发现表明，与青年人对语言和读写能力的感知有关的困扰，是标准语言意识形态幽灵般存在的证据。在自我评估中，与语言的表面特征相比，青年比识字的意义方面更为频繁地讨论了速度和音量。这些发现表明，传统的扫盲定义仍然存在，因此需要进行教学以打乱对阅读，写作和语言本质的狭understanding理解。
