Easy to read, slightly naughty text on terminology (useful for LC and CLA)
This is useful for A2 topics. Enjoy.
British politeness anecdote by Douglas Adams (LC)
Douglas Adams (sadly deceased) is one of my favourite authors. This anecdote is useful for Language Change because it examines what is socially acceptable at the time the text was written - would you mention it if the person opposite you took one of your biscuits?

Vygotski clarification (A2)
I have just been marking the A2 assessments and Vygotski may need a little more clarification in particular. I encourage you to continue your independent wider reading but this is an interesting piece contrasting Vygotski and Piaget. Better links to Bruner would have been useful though, so if you see a good page for that, do link to it in the comments.
Article against teen tweeting language
Angelica found a great article and has linked to it on her blog - I commented and then thought everyone might find this useful.
Writing prize
St Brendan's is launching a writing competition (with cash prizes) next week. Look out for details and take part! Up to 500 words on the idea of 'new beginnings' - the genre is up to you (song, story, poem etc.). The deadline will be in March. The judges will be a mixture of teachers, non-teaching staff and students and the audience is new students next year.
