Students’ Experiences of Accent Bias in Education
It’s Not What I Say, It’s How I Say It: Students’ Experiences of Accent Bias in Secondary Education
Participants
Research problem
This research investigates how teachers’ perceptions of regional accents may influence judgements about students’ academic ability, addressing an underexplored form of inequality within UK education. Drawing on Bernstein’s theory of language codes and informed by my academic and professional interest in linguistic discrimination, the study aims to make visible how subtle linguistic biases may shape teacher expectations and educational outcomes.

Interactivity and animation can be your best allies when creating tables, infographics, or graphics that help provide context to information and simplify data for your audience. We are visual beings and find it easier to 'read' images than written text. With Genially's templates, you can include visual resources to leave your audience amazed. You can also highlight specific phrases or data that will leave a lasting impression on your audience's memory and even embed external content that surprises: videos, photos, audios... Whatever you want!
We tell thousands and thousands of stories. ⅔ of our conversations are stories.
We need to interact with each other. We learn collaboratively.
We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.
