Do you speak Uglish? How English has evolved in Uganda Please don’t dirten my shirt with your muddy hands. Stop cowardising and go and see that girl. Don’t just beep her again, bench her. Typos? No, we’re speaking Uglish (pronounced you-glish), a Ugandan form of English influenced by Luganda and other local dialects, which has produced hundreds of words with their own unique meanings. Some will be immediately obvious to English speakers: dirten, meaning to make dirty; cowardising, to behave like a coward. Others offer small insights into youth culture: beep – meaning to ring someone but to hang up quickly before the person answers. Now, Bernard Sabiti, a Ugandan cultural commentator has recorded these colloquialisms in a new book which attempts to unlock what he calls “one of the funniest and strangest English varieties in the world”. Working as a consultant for international NGOs, Sabiti kept being asked “what kind of English do Ugandans speak?” The result? He also credits local musicians for introducing a number of words into the lexicon.

Martinez - Oral Presentations in the ESL Classroom Using a Technique Similar to Speed Dating The Internet TESL Journal Gilda Martinezgmartinez(at)towson. University (Baltimore, Maryland, USA) Introduction You may have heard of speed dating. It involves getting together 10 (or more) men and women and providing them with an opportunity to talk to each other, one-on-one, for five minutes each. I modified this dating technique to make classroom presentations provide more practice with oral language while making them less threatening for students. Procedure What you do is you have students prepare a five-minute oral presentation, based on a topic of your choice. My Experience Students respond positively to the format because they do not feel too overwhelmed having to present in front of an entire class, and they comment that by the fifth presentation they feel much more comfortable and fluent. Invitation Components “Speed Demos” Location: Date:Time: Directions:1. Names:1. *Don’t forget: five minutes for each groupGroups Talking: Conclusion References

25 maps that explain the English language English is the language of Shakespeare and the language of Chaucer. It’s spoken in dozens of countries around the world, from the United States to a tiny island named Tristan da Cunha. It reflects the influences of centuries of international exchange, including conquest and colonization, from the Vikings through the 21st century. The origins of English 1) Where English comes from English, like more than 400 other languages, is part of the Indo-European language family, sharing common roots not just with German and French but with Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, and Persian. 2) Where Indo-European languages are spoken in Europe today Saying that English is Indo-European, though, doesn’t really narrow it down much. 3) The Anglo-Saxon migration Here’s how the English language got started: After Roman troops withdrew from Britain in the early 5th century, three Germanic peoples — the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes — moved in and established kingdoms. 4) The Danelaw 5)The Norman Conquest 9) Canada Learn more
Anglais lycée : Les pubs du Super Bowl Ce week-end, c'était le super Bowl et les Américains étaient tous rivés à leur télé. C'est aussi un grand moment pour les annonceurs, qui profitent de l'occasion pour présenter leurs produits. Time Magazine a donné samedi un lien qui permet de voir les pubs. Pour nous, ce sont des supports de cours bien utiles, et aussi des point de départ pour des discussion et débats. "No More", la PSA (public safety announcement) à propos des femmes battues me parait efficace et bien faite (on peut même l'utiliser en audio seul). Il y a aussi la pub, "like a girl" d'Always, contre la discrimination anti-feminine, qui est bien faite mais un peu longue, et plusieurs pub à la gloire des bons pères (ceux qui regardent le super bowl avec leurs enfants?). Dans Time Magazine

Where did English come from? - Claire Bowern | TED-Ed There are two other TED-Ed lessons related to this topic: How languages evolve and How did English evolve? (a lesson that fills in some of the details that we omit here due to the fact that the focus of this lesson was further in the past). There is still a great deal of debate about Indo-European, most importantly about the location of the homeland. To read more about this debate, there are classic books by Mallory and Renfrew, as well more recent works by Anthony. Then, read these articles by Bouckaert et al. At the same site, watch this movie that shows one hypothesis about how Indo-European languages expanded. To learn more about the distribution of languages across the world, see LL-map or The Ethnologue.
