RE: ADSactly Education: Dealing with Accents in Language Teaching and Learning.
Very good work of excellent academic level, but also with contextual reflection. I understand that for certain work tasks or functions (such as teaching a language), having an "accent" (national, regional, local) may imply some disadvantage, as long as it cannot be controlled. Nevertheless, I believe that it is inevitable and necessary that "accents" be assimilated. Perhaps we will arrive at a language where everything is mixed or where the separations are more and more closed; it is almost a question of novel or cinema of anticipation.
Thanks for your post, @hlezama.
Thanks, @josemalavem
There is this movie I watched a movie some years ago, Code 46, starring Tim Robbins, where people speak a language that is a collage of some of the main languages in the world. I think that multicultural exposure can take us there, even though multiculturalism has been demonized for political purposes.
