Speaker
Description
Teachers may hesitate to cover swearing in language classes, believing it to be unsuitable, unnecessary, or too sensitive. In this workshop I will present arguments in favour of teaching swearing. I will share materials I have used to teach swearing to university students. Participants will have a chance to discuss how they have taught swearing, ways in which they might consider teaching swearing, and issues to consider when addressing this topic.
