Accents and Language Teaching

from ELT Podcast - The Teachers' Lounge Hosted by Bill Pellowe, Robert Chartrand, Kevin Ryan

www.eltpodcast.com Welcome to the second episode of ELT Podcast, the Teachers' Lounge. Today we discussed accents, starting with a look at an online quiz that can accurately place your accent to a region of the USA with only 13 questions. There are two URLs for this quiz; as far as we know, both give the same results: www.gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have www.gotoquiz.com/what_accent_do_you_have During the conversation, Bill mentioned a website that has compiled recordings of a wide variety of accents of English; he couldn't remember the name of the site at the time, but here it is now: International Dialects of English Archive, http://web.ku.edu/idea/
