When you click on this link it brings you to a Grockit page that is a video about how to speak with a Scottish accent. This video includes some questions that students can answer and it is a relatively short video so it wouldn't take up much class time. I believe that this video and activity would work well in an intermediate/advanced pronunciation class because it draws attention to different aspects of pronunciation and different ways that English speakers can say the same thing. Not only is it useful for students to be introduced to other accents and ways of speaking, but this video is also interesting and fun and I think that the students would stay engaged watching a video like this which also gives them listening practice. There are many other videos like this on youtube and this one activity could lead to other activities and student presentations on different English accents around the world. This could also lead to relevant cultural information for the students so I believe an activity like this could lead to many other tasks and activities that can be beneficial for an EFL classroom.
