This project supports the dissertation research of a student of linguistic anthropology from the University of Texas. THe project studies speech styles in rural Indian education in highland Bolivia to test the hypothesis that local Indian school teachers are trained in speech styles radically different from those of the Indian homes. This creates a communicative barrier between teachers and students in the elementary classroom, despite the similarity of ethnic background of teachers and students. Methods include ethnographic observation in classrooms and homes, and videotaped speech interactions and audio-taped interviews. Analysis will target participant cultural structures and interactional rules using an "ethnography of speaking" approach. This research is important because multicultural education is increasing in many countries as ethnic consciousness is heightened. Understanding the nature of ethnically-based linguistic problems between teachers and children will help educational planners design programs to maximize the potential for success in formal education of subordinated groups.

该项目资助了德克萨斯大学语言人类学专业的一名学生的学位论文研究。该项目研究玻利维亚高原地区印度农村教育中的讲话风格，以检验当地印度学校教师接受的讲话风格与印度家庭截然不同的假设。尽管教师和学生的种族背景相似，但这在小学课堂上造成了师生之间的交流障碍。方法包括在教室和家庭中进行人种学观察，以及录制演讲互动和录音采访。分析将以参与者的文化结构和互动规则为目标，采用“说话的民族志”方法。这项研究很重要，因为随着民族意识的提高，多元文化教育在许多国家都在增加。了解教师和儿童之间基于种族的语言问题的性质将有助于教育规划者设计计划，以最大限度地提高下属群体在正规教育中取得成功的潜力。
