A dialect speaker herself, she was aware that her own language changed from Orcadian Scots to Scottish English when she entered the classroom. She describes the process of changing how she used language herself in teaching. She provides examples of how she managed to use both English and Orcadian Scots in the early primary classroom, the kinds of activities the children were involved in, and the impact this all had on their overall learning, involvement and confidence.
