The second part of this two-part study is intended primarily to help you work on your knowledge of dialects by presenting self-developed teaching ideas based on various forms of work and task types. These tasks, which can be used both in public and in higher education, aim to demonstrate the naturalness of the spatial diversity of language in an experiential way, building on the linguistic awareness and, where appropriate, the linguistic background of pupils and students. An important element of the topic is to develop a positive attitude, to dispel misconceptions as convincingly as possible and, where appropriate, to refute stereotypes, so the exercises presented mostly aim to do this. Based on the experience of the pandemic period, most of the teaching tasks can be implemented in online educational environment. The exercises are also based on the results of an empirical research among nearly 200 secondary school students in the Western Transdanubian region. These are presented in detail in the Studies section of this issue of the journal.
