What is 'English?'

Slide 10 - Woordweb

It's a language, you use language. It is a tool. It is not a thing you can physically touch. It does not have to look perfect, like when you are forming and shaping it, like a sculpture. You have to be able to use it as a tool. A way to communicate a message, right?

Why/when do wé use English?

Slide 11 - Woordweb

What is a Language?
timer
5:00

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Different accents, dialects, official, non-official, slang, creole, pidgins, other varieties. 
 
Used by people to communicate. Not by machines. Language is spontaneous, always moving, never the same. Language is determined by the people who use it! People decide what ends up in dictionairies or not even: What language is used in a region or country. 
 
America 'uses' English But it isn’t a national language. America doesn't have an official language.

Overt (big) Covert (small)
timer
3:00

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Overt prestige is standard and "formal" language features, and 'expresses power' and status; as stated by Overt language users.
Covert prestige is related more to varieties
and expresses solidarity, community and group identity more than authority.
Which I think is the better way to use language. 
Overt keeps Covert small on purpose. 
(racism) 'speaking white' is frowned upon by some of African American culture. 
The majority of people who speak English live in America and Great- Britain

Slide 17 - Quizvraag

Doesn't our accent reflect our identities? Why give that up? Why look down at people who do not sound 'proper British' Who does? What is 'proper British?' Who decides what languages sounds and looks like? (The majority of the people who use it, that's why we no longer use Shakespearian English)

Attitudes towards language need to change

- Communication is proven to be possible without perfect grammar. 
- Learners of EN do not need to speak English like a native.
(I dont even speak like I write for school in my first language.) 
- You should always tickle your brain tho! Laziness does not do any good to the brain.
- Challenge youself, but have realistic expectations of yourself!
