Which accent is best?

Robbie Love

In this series, Dr Robbie Love will be tackling some of the trickiest questions faced by learners of English and offering tips to help teachers to answer these questions. Robbie is a Lecturer in English Language at the School of Languages and Social Sciences at Aston University, UK. He conducts research and teaches in a range of topics in linguistics including corpus linguistics, discourse analysis and language education, and holds a PhD in linguistics from Lancaster University. Today’s post is all about language myths, in particular those around the British accent.

The English accent

For a small country, the UK is full to the brim with linguistic diversity. One example of this is the wide range of accents you will encounter on a journey around the British Isles. From ‘Geordie’ (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) to ‘Scouse’ (Liverpool) to ‘Cockney’ (London), English has a wide vocabulary of words to describe the variety of accents in the UK.

When we consider the rest of the world, English becomes even more complicated. In her blog post There’s no such thing as Standard English, Eline Laperre discusses the many world varieties of English, including American English and Australian English. There is no such thing as a single ‘English’. Rather, there are many different ‘versions’ of English, dotted around the world. There are so many distinct accents around the world, and so many chances for these accents to influence us (e.g. films, TV shows, online media, etc.). Because of this, learners may feel pressure to speak with a particular English accent. To them, the question is, “which accent do I choose?”

As the UK begins to relax lockdown measures, climate campaigners are keen to take to the streets once again and fight for environmental justice. Extinction Rebellion (XR) is calling on leaders of the country to continue to act on the climate crisis so that children aren’t left to shoulder the burden in future."

What is academic writing? + EXTRA: library sacredheart

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

extract: 

"Academic writing is clear, concise, focussed, structured and backed up by evidence. Its purpose is to aid the reader’s understanding.

It has a formal tone and style, but it is not complex and does not require the use of long sentences and complicated vocabulary.

Each subject discipline will have certain writing conventions, vocabulary and types of discourse that you will become familiar with over the course of your degree. However, there are some general characteristics of academic writing that are relevant across all disciplines.

Characteristics of academic writing

Academic writing is:

Planned and focused: answers the question and demonstrates an understanding of the subject.

Structured: is coherent, written in a logical order, and brings together related points and material.

Evidenced: demonstrates knowledge of the subject area, supports opinions and arguments with evidence, and is referenced accurately.

Formal in tone and style: uses appropriate language and tenses, and is clear, concise and balanced."

IV. Iesus autem plenus Spiritu Sancto regressus est ab Iordane et agebatur in Spiritu in deserto

2 dies quadraginta et tentabatur a diabolo. Nec quidquam edit diebus illis et, consummatis illis, esuriit.

3 Dixit autem ei diabolus: ‘Si Filius Dei es, dic lapidi huic, ut panis fiat’.

4 Respondit ad illum Iesus: ‘Scriptum est: ‹Non pane solo uiuet homo›’.
