Occasionally I discuss with students the impact of prof language

international students have had greater exposure to all types of
international
teachers in their home countries. However I do find that some
international students have issues with the Southern accent.
I do find some Canadian linguistic mannerisms such as Eh,pardon and
inflections which create some distractions.
