Entry 11- Yule

Chapter 18 Language has many variations, especially in the spoken way, and it is possible to find different varieties inside the countries; the study of this is called linguistic geography.  The standard language is “ ideal” variety of one language since it does not have an specific region and it is associated with administrative, commercial and educational purposes. The vocavulary, spelling and grammar tend to the ideal form used in written language. Teachers teach this “ kind” of English, as if it was neutral.   Although, we try to speak this English, all of us have our own accent which could be subtle  or less noticiable . Accent is the aspect of the pronpunciationthat identifies where an individual speaker is from ( region or social).

The region has a significant importance since the sp

Entry 14 Final relection

The portfolio is a good tool to have a record about what we have been doing during the whole year. It is useful because we are “obliged” to read and do a revision of the texts in order  to upload them. Another advantage of the blog is that I had to put up with technology; it was a  challange to become acquainted  with it.  As it is all recorded in the blog then, I believe that it would be easier to study from there. The summaries are already done; what it is left is the hardest part: studying it.   What I like most were the videos. They  clarified  what the thesis statement is about. I liked the videos of David Crystal, they were very interesting and clear. He explained in a simple way what happens with language, how culture may influece on it.  I liked those videos that showed people speaking the same language ( English) in  different ways. It shows us , as future teachers, that those people could be comprehensible although their pronounciation was not perfect at all. So, the re
