On the role of Standard English


This week we will talk about an important concept that we are all familiar with: Standard English. I have three questions for you to start the class discussion on the topic:
  • What is standard English and who speaks it?
  • What are the other types of English?
  • What do you feel about speakers of standard and non-standard English?
  • Where are we in the world of English speaking world?
Can you write your comments briefly by commenting under this post?


Welcome


Welcome to our World Englishes blog!

Throughout this semester, we will meet both in and outside the classroom to learn about different types of Englishes and the people who speak it!

I hope this will be a series of classes that will help you raise your awareness and have an idea of the role of English as it is today.
