Since we have a wonderfully diverse group of students, I thought it would be interesting to discuss the use of accents and dialects in your own contexts. 

Initial Response

In your initial response, please respond to the following prompts

• Remind the class of your home country
• Discuss the different accents and dialects in your home country. How different, for example, are dialects across different regions?
• Finally, discuss how accents and dialects may affect communication in professional settings.
