Great to hear about socio-linguistic studies – how research is conducted and analysed – some inspiration here for pupils' NEAs. Emma's talk on prescriptivism has sparked our planning and resourcing of language issues lessons – loved the popular culture sources and examples – we are sending our pupils on a mission to find more. Thank you - we both really enjoyed the session and feel invigorated to get back in the classroom and share with our A level pupils.
