The Way We Speak

Students will explore the concept of language variation, including dialects, sociolects, and idiolects, and analyse how these variations are represented in literature and media.

Key Questions

  1. Have you ever heard someone speak in a different way or use different words from you?
  2. How do we show we are being friendly and kind when we speak to someone?
  3. What special words does your family use that other people might not know?
