Why....? - ESL discussion

Why would you want to get rid of your accent?
I know it's your choice ,after all it's YOUR accent.
However , EVERYBODY has an accent.I know I certainly have, and I'm very proud of it.

For the classroom it is good for all of us to tone our accents down a bit, especially if our accents are thick, so that the students are able to understand us.

I'm sure you're proud of your accent too. Rosa,If you want to teach ESL please don't think you have to sacrifice a part of yourself and your identify.

English is a LANGUAGE, not an ACCENT! An East coast/ Hispanic accent is as good as any other!
