Here is a youtube video of a high school aged British boy performing over 20 different English language accents. Though not very educational, it is a good representation of how there are many different types of English. Pay attention to the slang words used, the actual accents, and the content spoken about in each accent. It's a funny video and also a little bit of an eye opener as to how many forms of English there actually are. (Warning: there are curse words used in the video so be aware.)
Enjoy...

This kid is actually pretty good! This video goes very well with our class discussion about the different types of English and this video illustrates very efficiently how very different they are.
