Sociolinguistic Perspectives in Education: Episode 21
English: Fact or Fiction
In this podcast we discussed the concept of stigmatizing multilingual people and people who speak other dialects of English. We discussed how English is a really hard language and we should not look down on others for not speaking English the way we expect to. We also discussed the concept of slang, and how it can throw people from different cultures off. All in all, in this podcast we covered the fact that there is no true way to speak English and we should be open minded and accepting.
