teachers with accents?

I don't care as long as the accent does not interfere in the lessons and causes difficulty in understanding what is being said. For example, I have a geography professor in college that has a very thick accent, and it was so hard to understand from the beginning. I thought that I would never get used to it. Half a year has passed so far, and it is getting so much better because I got used to it. Still, sometimes, when she talks it's kind of hard to understand. What's crazy is that there is this one student in the class, and he gives perfect answers to every question. But he uses words that are hard for her to understand, so she would always ask him, "What do you mean?" So, yeah. I completely understand what you're talking about. It is hard, and I hope that I don't get anyone like that again this upcoming semester.

Nope. Teachers from a different country doesn’t know the target country’s culture. What you say may work in case of scientific subjects, but if a teacher knows so well a langauge and his/her profession as well, he/she would get a good salary at home, so why go to the target country?

Use eric as a search tool.  Check Educational Leadership and the Reading Teacher in a google search.  Good luck.  (Sounds like prime bedtime reading!)Look up NEA archives/local teachers union too.

Try Classmates.com - some teachers also post their profiles there.  Next - you can get a short term membership at http://people-search.com - which is very effective.

I don't know this for a fact, but I sort of assume that children in the UK aren't carrying handguns into schools with them. And the students and teachers talk to each other with that funny accent.

It depends on what level of English you teach.  Pehaps you could instruct your students to describe appropriate types of clothing for different weather conditions.  Another idea is to have them describe their diet and exercise habits, hobbies, responsibilities, and other daily tasks.

>>>>>How do British accents vary?\n\nThat’s a hell of a question. How would you answer the question “How do US accents vary?” The answer is pretty much the same. And of course you can’t really describe an accent in print.\n\n>>>>>I've heard that they can reveal your social standing but in what way? \n\nThe same way they can  in the US or almost any other part of the world. Accents are tied to geographic location. Some geographic locations are primarily populated by poor people. Those children form that area that are educated outside will lose their accent so the accent comes to be associated ONLY with poor people. When you hear  that accent  you can pretty much guarantee the person in poor. Conversely some accents are associated with areas populated by rich people, or even with specific private schools. If you hear that accent you can guess  the person has or at least had money.\n\nBut as I say, England is neither better nor worse than the US in this respect these days. \n\nWhat do you think of when you here the classic Robert de Niro Brooklyn accent? Is it the accent of a college professor or a taxi driver?  A stockbroker or a steelworker?\n\nHow about the classic Boston accent of the Kennedies, Mayor Quimby) or Frasier? ? Is it the accent of a college professor or a taxi driver?  A stockbroker or a steelworker?\n\nAnd the list goes on. Appalachian accents are strongly associated with poor rural, Southern accents with strong diction are associated with wealth and refinement whereas southern accents with dropped letters is associated with poverty, the Jersey Accent is associated with the upper working classes etc.\n\nIn England you would say that a West End Cockney accent was the same as a Bronx accent.  An Oxford accent the same as a Classic Boston Accent. A Yorkshire accent the same as an Appalachian accent. A Scouse accent the same as a Jersey accent. Those pairs of accents mean almost exactly the same thing in their respective countries. And they are all reveal the social standing of the speaker.\n\n Of course it isn’t perfect. There are Liverpuddlians who have become multi-billionaires just as numerous people who grew up in Brooklyn have made lots of money. But as a general rule those accents tell you where people are socially even more where they came from. \n\nThese days the utility of accents at defining social position is fading in Britain just as it is fading in the US. Prior to WWII in both the US and England if you moved up the social ladder you made a conscious effort to lose your accent if it wasn’t appropriate. These days people tend to be more proud of the fact that they have moved up and don’t make the attempt to disguise it so much.

I think that Russians have the funniest English accent (hmm, those who do not speak it very well, not all of them, of course). It sound something like "Vot is ap, maaan"! For real
