Grammar, correctness and language evolution: What not to teach?

What is ‘Standard’ English? What is ‘correct’ English? How is English changing?
This talk looks at what should or should not be taught / included in materials.
Participants will study examples of language use (some taken from Grammar for
English Language Teachers, CUP, 2010) and I will be honest about decisions I have
made.
