Engelska 9C - The Anglosphere - v.39

This week we are learning about English speaking countries around the world! Where do they speak English apart from the obvious countries? How come they speak English in so many places? What are some varieties of English spoken across the globe? You will prepare a presentation about an English speaking country of your choice and learn about other people's chosen countries. You will reflect on what is would be like to live in these places compared to Sweden, and write an argumentative text about where you would like to live the most and why.

Pick your group’s country from this list:
