     Answer the following questions about the topic from this class. Look for more information if necessary.

    1. Which Standard Language variety do you think people from Ecuador should learn? The Standard
    American English (AmE) or the Standard British English (BrE) Explain why. Be CRITICAL in your
    response.

    I think people from Ecuador should learn The Standard American English (AmE) because that is the Standard
    Language variety that has been teaching in this country for years. Mayority use american english, schools and
    teachers work with american english books.

    2. What is the difference between an accent and a dialect? Explain using your OWN words. Accent is related
    to the pronunciation in the language and Dialect is related with the pronunciation too, but not only with that but
    also is related to the gramar and vocabulary in a language.

    3. Read the following statements about Standard English and try to decide if you AGREE or DISAGREE
    with them. Write the REASON in each case for your decision.

    a) Standard English is not a language


    b) Standard English is an accent
    c) Standard English is a set of rules for correct use

    A: AGREE, standard English is not a language, it is a variety of a language that is considered the norm.

    B: DISAGREE, Standard English is not necessarily an accent, accents is just related to the pronunciation of a
    language, Standard language has a deeper concept.

    C: AGREE, Standard English is a set of rules for correct use. It is the variety considered the ideal for
    educational purposes.
