Issue 2. Accents
It is a well-known fact that English apart from being 
a national language of certain countries it is a lingua 
franca [9]. Hence there are a lot of types of ‘Englishes’ 
[15, c. 29] or other types of English accents, for 
example North American, Australian, Indian, French etc.

АЗОВАНИЕ
Teaching English in Russia has certain complications 
in this respect. Firstly, Russia is a vast country with 
a specific geographical location. It implies that the 
number of foreigners speaking English is low and 
English learners do not have enough opportunities 
to experience communication with native/non-native 
speakers. Secondly, most of the materials are recorded 
with a southern English standard accent or RP (received 
pronunciation). All these cause comprehension problems 
not only in face-to-face communication but also when 
listening to lectures/presentations online (TED Talks).
Suggestion 2
Aim: To increase the comprehension level of 
a non-native accent (Appendix 2) 
Procedure:
– find a TED Talk with a speaker who has a strong 
non-native accent
– explain to learners that non-native speakers in 
comparison with native speakers use different 
stress patterns in words and sentences
– play the recording (one sentence from a TED Talk 
with a non-native accent and the same sentence 
with a British one) so that learners could compare 
the difference between two accents and discuss 
(3a)
– play the recording again and ask learners to listen 
carefully to the pronunciation of the underlined 
word (3a)
– ask learners about the difference in the pronunciation 
(e.g. stressed syllable) (3a) (noticing)
– play another recording of one sentence recorded 
similarly by a non-native speaker and a native one, 
ask students to underline stressed words in two 
variants, discuss why it is so (3b)
– later give students a passage from the same TED 
Talk and ask them to fill in the gaps with missing 
words (3c)
– play the recording again
– discuss the importance of understanding non-
native speakers
Evaluation:
The ability to comprehend accents requires much 
of noticing and drawing parallels between a native 
speaker and a non-native one. Noticing process 
requires great attention and effort to understand 
how consonants/vowels, sentence stress and 
intonation are organized in a non-native speech. In 
this way learners can improve the comprehension 
level.
