| Synopsis: |
10 units of work for students at Key Stages 3 and 4, offering opportunities to: * experiment creatively with language * find out more about how we use language and communicate * explore how our language contributes to our identities as individuals and members of groups and communities * investigate language change in relation to our changing society * discover the way in language can help - or hamper - what we do in the workplace and in school learning * find out about the differences between spoken and written texts * explore the language of 21st-century texts such as texts, emails and blogs. Language Works DVD Central to Language Works is the DVD, an eclectic and lively collection of clips, from 'vox pops' on accent, dialect, RP and Standard English to cookery programmes through time (Fanny Craddock to Jamie and Nigella). Extracts from The Apprentice reveal the way groups use language to get things done, while a Catherine Tate Show sketch highlights the role language plays in peer group conversation.'Mathilda Talking' traces the language acquisition of one baby over an 18-month period, while 'Texts for Tots' explores the language and grammar of picture books and the ways children begin to read. |
