Varieties of English

There are several variations in English, and this is influenced by numerous factors. As a student who is learning A Level English, you should be able to list the various English varieties as well as know the difference between an accent and a dialect. English is constantly changing with time, and it varies based on social setting and place. That is why even the English vocabulary defined in dictionaries must be updated regularly to consider the ever-changing social patterns. You will get to learn about all this and much more in our A Level tuition.

Attitudes towards language

Historically, certain dialects of English have been regarded more positively compared to others. For instance, Standard English is regarded as being the most respected of all English varieties. As society continues changing so too do the attitudes towards accent, dialect and the general variation use of the English language. Nevertheless, as you will learn in A Level English, it is possible for attitudes towards the English variations to change. Speaking with regional accents today, especially, does not have the same social connotation that it once had.
