2 T069 Listen to the first part of each conversation and answer the questions.

1 Where are the people and what are they doing? (What ‘clues’ can you hear in the background? What words do the speakers use that help you?)

2 What is the relationship between the speakers?

Conversation 1

A: Right, good afternoon everyone. Let’s see, are we all here?

B: Phil Dean sends his apologies - dentist’s appointment.

A: OK. And, well, the first and probably most important point on the agenda is the issue of the standard of English that we are seeing in our students’ written work.

Conversation 2

Host: Thank you, Sherri Carson. Now, my next guest is only twenty-one, he’s already written one bestseller, and his second novel, Dockers, has just arrived in the shops. He’s come all the way from Scotland to join us in the studio tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome lain Griffith!

lain Griffith: Thank you very much.

Host: Well, lain, people were queuing at the bookshops to buy your new novel - you seem to have quite a following ...

1 Standards of English are falling in the UK.

2 A lot of schools in die UK are not teaching grammar nowadays.

Conversation 1

A: Right, good afternoon everyone. Lettasks see, are we all here?

B: Phil Dean sends his apologies - dentist’s appointment.

A: OK. Well, the first and probably most important point on the agenda is the issue of the standard of English that we are seeing in our students’ written work.

C: Yes, I was given an essay the other day that was full of ‘text’ English - like you see in text messages - no punctuation, strange spellings, even symbols used as parts of words in places. I just think that all this emailing and text messaging that young people do nowadays is ruining their English.

B: Well, I read an article in The Guardian the other day which said that research has proved that texting reduces your IQ, by as much as 10 points in some cases. I mean, maybe we should ban texting if it’s going to affect students’ intelligence.

A: Hmm, I don’t think that’s really practical, is it? Itaskm afraid text messaging and email are here to stay. Isn’t the point that standards are slipping everywhere - I actually saw a sign in Boots yesterday, advertising a special offer or something, and it had two apostrophes where it didn’t need any. I mean maybe we’ll have to start giving formal grammar lessons, spelling tests, all that sort of thing.

C: But our students are preparing for A levels - we shouldntaskt need to do that at this stage in their education.

A: Well, students are obviously coming to us from schools where they dontaskt teach grammar any more, like so many schools these days.

D: Hang on a minute. I find this all a bit worrying. Shouldntaskt we be more concerned about how well our students communicate their ideas than whether they miss the odd apostrophe or spell accommodation correctly? Surely the great thing about our language is that it is a living thing, and ittasks a normal process for it to change? Look at Shakespearetasks English, for example: it was very different to ours, but we don’t consider it ‘incorrect’. Actually, I think there’s a lot to be said for having fewer rules about where to use apostrophes, and simplifying some of those illogical spelling rules.

A: Well, that’s an interesting point, Jim, but I’m not sure what the board of examiners would say about it. We need to make sure that our students are prepared to pass their leaving exams, don’t we? So, what options do we have? ...

Conversation 2

Host: Thank you, Sherri Carson. Now, my next guest is only twenty-one, he’s already written one bestseller, and his second novel, Dockers, as just arrived in the shops. He’s come all the way from Scotland to join us in the studio tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome lain Griffith!

lain Griffith: Thank you very much.

Host: Well, lain, people were queuing at the bookshops to buy your new novel - you seem to have quite a following.

lain Griffith: Yes, well I must say I’ve been surprised at the response myself, but it’s great!

Host: Now I think it would be fair to say that the book has also caused some controversy because of the way the dialogue is written. Some people are saying that you’ve deliberately made it difficult to understand because ittasks written in a Scottish dialect.

lain Griffith: Well, I wouldn’t say I deliberately made it difficult to understand, but I did want to reflect the way real people speak, and since the book is set in Leith, in Edinburgh, I wrote the dialogue in the way that the people there speak.

Host: But is that fair on readers who are not from Scotland?

lain Griffith: I don’t think it’s a case of ‘fairness’. I mean I find this response rather odd because if you think of Taggart for example, which is set in Glasgow, some of the people speak in a dialect and with quite a strong accent, but it doesn’t come in for the same criticism because the language isn’t written down: people seem to have more of a problem with books than things they hear on TV.

Host: Yes, I do see your point... but isn’t it important for written English to be accurate, especially when so many young people read your books? As I’m sure you know, there is a good deal of concern nowadays about standards of grammar, spelling and so on. And a lot of the dialogue does contain ‘incorrect’ usage.

lain Griffith: Well, all I can say is that if I’d written it in ‘standard’ English, it just wouldn’t be convincing. And of course it’s not as if it’s the first time a writer has done this. For example, I’m sure that when Richmal Crompton wrote Just William - in 1922 let me remind you - she just wanted to bring the character to life by giving him a certain style of speech. Read any page where William is speaking and you’ll find quite a few spelling and grammar mistakes.

Host: Um, yes well, that’s very interesting ... I’ll have to get a copy. Now, let’s move on to discuss ...
