Speaker: Kenneth G. Schaefer, Temple University Japan

Dr. Schaefer's first presentation will be a brief historical account of the differences between British and American English and the features that mark the differences. This presentation will also focus on how Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English fit into the international picture.
