- Contents
- Just like the German language, the English language is characterized by many regional varieties that may be quite different from so-called 'standard' varieties such as RP (Received Pronunciation) or General American. The major purpose of this course is to discuss how teachers can prepare their students for the fact that outside school they may often encounter varieties of English that are quite different from the variety they have been exposed to in the foreign language classroom. Apart from regional dialects, we will also examine 'social dialects' or 'class dialects' by discussing the influence of factors such as class, professional status, age, ethnic background and sex on language use.
