Topical Language Issues

To prepare ourselves for our first level English language lesson we were set an enrolment task which was to watch 3 short comedy clips about the way English is used, and if there is a correct way to use it. We then had to write no more than 2 sides of a4 showing the for and against arguments.

In our second lesson we watched this clip which also raises the argument of 'should we always use English correctly'. We then though of different situations where is it and isn't suitable to use the correct English , we then divided these situations into two columns of for and against. After we couldn't think of any more arguments we picked out three of our strongest for both for and against and discussed them within the class.
