I have come across this dialect quiz.

Interestingly, when I tried it, the answer came as the Midlands (I lived in Coventry for the first 11 years of my life) and the north west of England - I did live there for about 5 years but I spent longer in Cambridgeshire, including my secondary school education.
I spent yesterday at the tutor briefing for the new course "Introducing English Language Studies" (L101). It looks like a very interesting course to be working on with a wide range of materials and topic.
I like the variety of genres for assessment - tutor group forum postings for TMA 1, presentation slides and script for TMA 2, a commentary for TMA 3 and an essay for TMA 4. This should help to raise awareness of the wide range of different uses and style of language even if they are all in an "academic context".
