Sendai JALT:

World English - What is it and should we teach it?

Date: Sunday, August 31st, 2003 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: A roundtable discussion

Description:
The August meeting will be a discussion on World English. As always the discussion will go wherever the participants take it, we will as a minimum touch on these questions:

  1. What are the various varieties of English, how are they defined, and who owns them?
  2. Is there a single variety of English that can be styled as World English?
  3. Do our students need to know this or should they learn a particular variety such as American, British, or Australian?
There is no pre-reading for this discussion but you might think about the subject so that you can add you ideas and questions to the discussion.
