Hi all!
I think the key to teaching a good course on grammar and linguistic varieties
in modern English is the material.  If it is done at in schools, someone needs
to write a good textbook.  Is there one one that?
I teach a course like that here and use lots of different articles from
everywhere.  School teachers usually don't have time to prepare like that.
They need a textbook they can supplement.  I'm think of writing such a book for
Finnish high school students.
What should be included?  I think grammar and some lexis for US-UK, AAVE,
Indian, Austaralian plus other varieties of English.  Any ideas?
Later, Mike
