Dear students, here you are trying to learn to speak `good English´and we, teachers, trying to teach you just that while native speakers of English have trouble understanding each other...
This is a video about the ways people can speak `non-standard Englishes´but be articulate (= expressing oneself readily, clearly, or effectively ): English will sound different if you are white, black, British, American
Choose the subtitles you need from the long list offered to you in the video
Jamila Lyiscott is a “tri-tongued
orator;” in her powerful spoken-word essay “Broken English,” she celebrates —
and challenges — the three distinct flavors of English she speaks with her
friends, in the classroom and with her parents. As she explores the complicated
history and present-day identity that each language represents, she unpacks
what it means to be “articulate.”
