Imagine a situation in which an English teacher has to deal with students’ diverse linguistic background knowledge and make them recognize and value the different English dialects and varieties, promoting a pluralistic view of English.

Considering this scenario, to foster an inclusive learning environment, the teacher should address the linguistic diversity and geopolitical aspects of English by

(a)

emphasizing the standard English pronunciation (stress and intonation) and its geopolitical aspects, providing examples of other English varieties just for the student’s acknowledgment, through pair work activities.

(b)

integrating discussions about the historical and geopolitical contexts of English, while working with students’ global awareness and language appreciation through the proposition of a project research.

(c)

encouraging students to focus on the work with sentence structure, phonetic transcription and pronunciation of standard English varieties, through phonetic and grammar activities.

(d)

dealing with students’ different accents and backgrounds, working with extensive reading and listening, showing them videos from English spoken around the world.
