Free online workshop
We have developed an online workshop on the subject of accent, identity, and accentism to be used in schools. The workshop is completely free, can be done in your own time, and is suitable for Years 9-13 in the UK school system (ages 13+). It fits perfectly within A Level English Language, but is also accessible to lower levels. It consists of a video (narrated by Erin and Rob) with discussion points and lots of examples, and two short reflective questionnaires.
If you are interested in using it with your class, or would simply like to find out more, please contact r.drummond@mmu.ac.uk. Or you can tweet us using @RobDrummond.
