How can we make language teaching more inclusive — a space where all voices and accents
are valued?
This interactive webinar explores how teachers can address linguistic diversity, accent bias,
and linguistic discrimination in their classrooms.
Together, we will reflect on how to:
● recognise and discuss accent bias and linguistic discrimination;
● move beyond the idea of the “native speaker” as the only model;
● integrate accent diversity and World Englishes into classroom practice;
● foster respect and openness towards different ways of speaking English.
