    As a teacher for 30 years one tends to make many observations. In the last few years I have noticed many things with teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). While assisting a student overseas recently I needed to try and justify making sure ESL students were exposed to many different accents.


     Often students will feel overwhelmed as they will just start getting used to one foreign teacher and they feel they have to go through it all again, almost like learning a new language for some students. There are many ways to expose students to different language accents some of the easier ones being you tube videos, movies and just having a chat with another foreigner.
