@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😯

@Vijay_Ramjattan Yes, my secret identity is "articulate woman".

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! 😊

[Alison Altidor @AlisonAltidor]

@maxantonynewman @Vijay_Ramjattan All are educators who speak/use Outer Circle Englishes (Kachru, 1986). #multilingual #english L1 or L1/L2 hybrids. Educated in EMI contexts.

[Alison Altidor @AlisonAltidor]

@maxantonynewman @Vijay_Ramjattan Specifically, they want communication training that focuses on #intelligibilty in cases where the absence of certain #diphthongs, #ligatures #glidingvowels in their English varieties make pronunciation of Canadian phonology challenging.

[Alison Altidor @AlisonAltidor]

@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

@Vijay_Ramjattan I take amazing pics of you. I'll just hang around and be your paparazzo/i.
