Why Teachers Are Divided About Teaching Canadianisms
However, the systematic (as opposed to incidental or accidental) teaching of Canadianisms and Canadian English linguistic features could well be regarded by some international learners as a muddying of the pure streams of British or US English.
As we discussed which Canadianisms might be suitable for inclusion in the lexical survey, one author, Xu, deepened his understanding of Canadian culture, and the other, McAlpine, began to see her culture with fresh eyes.
We began to realize that the seemingly superficial task of extracting Canadianisms from dictionaries had led us into detailed discussions of Canadian demographics, history, climate, institutions, pastimes, and values.
