@Vijay_Ramjattan I find it heartbreaking. Check out page 192 of my thesis for a pic mandating an English only policy on a washroom door! It specifically asks students to speak only English in the washroom😯
CTL wishes to congratulate Dr. Alison Altidor-Brooks (@iambidialectal) on the successful defense of her thesis at @OISEUofT today, “Standard Language Ideology and #WorldEnglishes: A Narrative Multiple Case Study of Immigrant Educators' Experiences in Canada.” 🌎🎓🎉 #OISEGrad20
Today, I attended @iambidialectal’s EXCELLENT mock oral exam and learned how the internationally trained educators in her study expressed a desire for specific types of pronunciation training instead of accent reduction.
This was so encouraging for my own research! 😊
@Vijay_Ramjattan Thanks, Vijay. Perhaps a collab is in our future. Participants are strongly against AR programs and advocate for #pronunciation training and awareness for educators as well as recognition for varieties of #worldenglishes in #ELT
