Join us to hear Sweta Kumari and Aieshah Arif, Writing Instructors at New York University Abu Dhabi, as they share their thoughts on why there are lingering biases towards “standardized Englishes” from mainly “white” post-British colony countries, especially in academia, rather than accepting varieties of English from “non-white” post-British colony countries. They share some real anecdotes from their teaching context illustrating occurrences of this bias, and talk about how this bias can affect individual learners negatively. Listen to hear more!
