Overview
UCL offers the Teaching Non-Standard English Grammar (Online Course) programme.
Key facts
- Many teachers and parents believe that it's the job of school to teach pupils ‘proper’ English.
- This has led to many schools enforcing bans on ‘slang’ or dialect words and phrases. Similarly, pupils and teachers may be encouraged to lose their accent.
- This approach has a number of downsides. Chiefly, that it does not represent sociolinguistic reality, rests on misinformed prejudices and can also lead to poor outcomes for pupils.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- How language hierarchies function in education and society
- Current approaches to policing pupil’s use of language
- Exploration of concepts such as British Standard English, dialect, accent etc.
- Alternative approaches that acknowledge and celebrate varieties of English
