Changing Face of English Language and Having Fun Teaching It
Kirsty Bowie
Summary
The English language grows and changes and with it comes a new generation of vocabulary that will influence the contents of our disctionaries in years to come. Global and national travel and relocation have meant the English that people speak today has a variety of influences and nuances and on top of that, interconnectedness has introduced new vocabulary and register of language. Explore varieties of English and look at fun ways to use language diversity and generational developments in language to engage your students in the classroom.
