Preparednesses,
E-bloc (Mon): tomorrow is hand-in day during the lesson, so use today to finesesse your coursework if you wish, then go onto the A-Block work.
A-Block (Fri): here's a link to the British Library website English page (it's Lang and Lit so ignore the lit sections) for you to make some notes on Language Change - look at their timeline and note down some key events/dates to memorise.
Then, if you have headphones, go to their accents section and collect some examples of different phonological and grammatical aspects of different accents and dialects to memorise.
You can search their website in the bar on the top right for 'Language Change' and browse what's available - here are some ideas of things you need to cover if you want to do specific searches: varieties of English e.g. thieves' cant, polidori, pidgins and creoles, business English and English as a lingua franca - put your notes and links to your sources on your blog.
