FURTHER READING
HOW ENGLISH IS SPOKEN
As you are well aware, not all of your students are motivated to learn English．One way to motivate reluctant learners is to give them some ownership over the learning process．This is, of course, achieved through student-centered activities but also through reading passages that take the reader into consideration．The following reading passage, therefore, is intended to let your students know that they, too, are \"players in the drama\" of how English is spoken．
Who decides how English is spoken around the world? Do teachers in the colleges and schools? What about those who write dictionaries or books, do they decide what is good and what is bad English? Or do governments decide when a language will change? Probably you have thought about this question once or twice before．The answer is that none of these people decide how English will be spoken．Believe it or not, many of the biggest changes in how English is spoken have come from common people in the streets．And one of the most important places where English has changed is on the playground! |
