I have not used it yet, but plan to incorporate it into my IB Language and Literature unit on Language and Culture. We will be discussing the development of English and the variants of English that are available around the globe. I would like to use this as a triggering document for my students to gather and analyse data from different Kiwi English pronunciations and draw conclusions on the contextual issues that have affected those sound variations. I'll let you know how this goes!
