DIFFERENT
ACCENTS
F U N D A G Ü L A R S L A N
WHY TEACH ACCENTS?
• Fascinating fact: hearing the same sound, interpreting it differently
• Non-native speakers’ articulation problem
• Fluency vs accuracy: Focus?
• Chance to recognize mistakes and correct them
• Impossibility of a uniform Accent
• Beauty of difference
• Ability to understand every English speaker, be it native or non-native (lingua franca)
THEORY
• Accent: A certain way that a person speaks a language
• More than British vs American division
• Includes pronounciation or different use of words (aubergine vs eggplant)
• Good knowledge of articulation, i.e. Which part of mouth is used when making a
certain sound?
• Where to put the stress?
• Identity
IN CLASS PRACTICE
• Listening activities representing different accents including non-natives
• Common mistakes made by non-native speakers
• BBC 6-minute English
• TED talks
• Or youtubers such as Mad Shadz
• Individual study: https://www.speechace.com/
ACTIVITY
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvBJokkgUHQ
• Example activity: Identify pronounciation mistakes from each accent and find out how
to correct them
THE END
