Interview at a Callan School [204]
whats the point of a native speaker with a strong regional accent
I really dont think it matters all that much as long as teachers are understandable, I dontvsuppose alot of students would be able to distinguish well between accents. Bias toward BBC southern type english prevails, but for example Edinburgh and Dublin English is very clear, and Northern English distinction between staff and stuff for exam
ple , which is swallowed up in southern english, but handier for learners.
I dont know about pure Geordie mind!!
