@LexisPodcast I've asked students to use the pod and emag articles for wider reading pre investigation NEA. They summarise their findings for hmk

If you're using any of our episodes with your students, do let us know!

@LexisPodcast I've used your podcast a lot, lang of protests inspired a mini investigation pre NEA. So many excellent resources!

@billylinguist @Team_English1 Are there any places available- for 12 local students?

A Level English Language Day at Northumbria on 5th July — the event is free but we have limited space so book early! northumbriaenglish.org/2023/04/28/a-l… #secondary #ALevel #English #language @Team_English1

@EngLangBlog I thought research had shown women under 30 used it most often.

@EngLangBlog Perfect timing for some P2Q3 revision. I got the students to decide on a Text B to compare it to. A prescriptivist view on teen speak, emojis, text speak or even influx of new words? Thank you Susie!

@Lisa7Pettifer @lexis Thank you so much!

Now up to date with 29 episodes of questions on @Lexis podcasts for your A Level English Language students dropbox.com/scl/fi/k082vj6…

@EngLangBlog @DrAmandaCole @elzejeff Great idea for an activity here!

Has anyone made a Paper 2 Q3&4 work book/revision guide which you would be happy to share? Please 🤞 #englangchat #aqa #EnglishLanguage #englang

@EngLangBlog Rep of mother from 24 Hours in Police Custody, from articles from 1994 which contributed to her (wrongful) conviction.

@EngLangBlog Lizzo's use of ablist slur in lyrics. Explore PC Lang and rep of her/Lang.

@earmstronglib Gorgeous! I need to read it!!

Little things can mean A LOT! #Heartstopper

Got a student who wants to do NEA Inv. on Black Sabbath lyrics. Any inspiration welcome. How they self rep through an album? What AO2? #englangchat #englangblog

@SophieWade_26 @Team_English1 @EngLangBlog We don't split them Teacher 1, who does paper 1 introduces all of them, other teacher does spoken lang and sociolinguistics. I think it's a good grounding and helps their analysis of style models used for Original Writing. I can share if you DM your email?

@thinkpink33 @Team_English1 @EngLangBlog Do you think that splitting them and taking the whole half term to cover them is too long to spend on them? I’m new to the course so trying to work out how long to spend on each unit.

A-Level English Language (AQA): Does it make sense to spend the first half term looking at (introducing) the different ‘Language Levels’ and sharing a range of examples? Or is this too optimistic for a 7 week half term? @Team_English1 @EngLangBlog

@EngLangBlog I used this today for a revision session, paired with article about accent shaming of Angela Raynor. Thank you Dan!

@EngLangBlog Thank you for this Twitter feed! There is a wealth of fantastic articles here (I'm going to make an anthology of them for students). Thank you!

How many weeks do English Language A level teachers spend on History of Eng, Old English onwards? #englishlanguage #alevel #AQA #englang

Planning a mini investigation for Yr12, inspiration needed. I want it to be closely linked to A02 which is accessible and current. Any ideas? #englang #EnglishTeacher #ks5 #englangchat #englishteaching #aqa

@MissMFrost @Team_English1 @_krogg @af_english123 @O_J_McVeigh @matthewmoor3 This is fantastic, thank you for sharing!

*AQA A Level Language Change unit*. Took me FOREVER to research and create (lit degree, not lang) so hopefully it will save someone else that time. #TeamEnglish @Team_English1 dropbox.com/sh/plldehha3vt… Thanks @_krogg @af_english123 @O_J_McVeigh and @matthewmoor3 for helping!

@O_J_McVeigh Thank you so much, perfect for Monday!

*A Level Language Resource* - I have often found A Level Language hard to identify strategies for. Having taught Paper One for a few years now, I have collated together my strategies and model paragraphs. Hopefully, this may prove useful! dropbox.com/s/rikrptebo1wd… #TeamEnglish
