Abstract:
In British society, we celebrate diversity and champion equality across many
areas, such as race and religion. However, where do British accents stand? Do
notions such as 'common' or 'posh' still exist regarding certain accents, to
the extent that people are deemed fit, or not, for certain professions,
despite their qualifications? "Accent and Teacher Identity in Britain"
explores these questions and Alex Baratta's research shows that those with
accents regional to the North and Midlands are most likely to be told by
mentors and senior staff to essentially sound less regional, whereas those
from the Home Counties are less likely to be given instructions to change
their accent at all. Baratta investigates the notion of linguistic power, in
terms of which accents appear to be favoured within the context of teacher
training and from the perspective of teachers who feel they lack power in the
construction of their linguistic teacher identity. He also questions modifying
one's accent to meet someone else's standard for what is 'linguistically
appropriate', in terms of how such a modified accent impact on personal
identity. Is accent modification regarded by the individual neutrally or is it
seen as 'selling out'?
