摘　　要：This paper deals with the Standard American Proficiency Program （S.E.R） in Oakland School District acknowledges African American Vernacular English （AAVE） as a legitimate language in classroom and set up AAVE as a bridge to teach Standard English. Its pedagogical value to standard American English can be understood in the following three senses： First AAVE can be a connection between new information and already known information; Second AAVE is a mediate device between languistic ＂receptive ability＂ and ＂generative ability＂; Third teachers can help black students recognize language diversity through comparing, translating, and provide linguistic knowledge of AAVE and standard English and help them improve the academic ability.
