View a mindmap for Stephen Fry's idiolect.
This is an example of the sort of thing that you need to create this lesson - Consider the influences that affect the way that you speak!
Eg - Region - give an example "buzz" for bus - "sckool" for school etc...
Ethnic/ cultural heritage - Liverpool dialect from mother, Irish dialect from father - "antwacky" "Craic"
Influences of technology/ social networking - "LOL" "OMG"
Influences of global television - Australia "No worries" America + Friends = "How you doin'?" "totally"
Education/schooling = jargon.
Age - "Cool" "Minger" "just sayin'"
Do your friends influence you? Do you all converge your speech?
