Dear Hania,

Routledge have just notified me that my book on Language Intake is about to "hit the shelves", and they have asked me to "spread the word".

The book is about what I call "The Intake Hypothesis", which, in brief, contends that, rather than being about single factors or a small group of factors, language intake is the result of a complex and dynamic interaction of a vast number of factors, including input, interaction, identity and investment, each of which, in turn, includes a vast number of complex and dynamic interacting variables.

The book includes insights from a number of very successful learners, some of whom you may know!

If you are interested in it, it is available on Amazon or from the publisher: www.routledge.com/9781032799896

If you do not want to purchase it, you might care to order it from your library.

Best wishes, 

Carol

Blog – Writing end of year reflections- be kind to yourself!

For many of us another school year has just come to an end or is ending soon. One habit Anna Hasper has developed over the years is planning in some time, at the start of summer, to write down her end-of-year reflections. Here, she explains how she takes time to think back and self-reflect, but also why it is important to be kind to yourself.

Protecting biodiversity: rejecting carbon offsetting

Biodiversity is the foundation of life – providing the food we eat, the air we breathe, the medicines that heal us and the ecosystems that sustain us. Yet, our natural world is in crisis, and our ecosystems are collapsing around us as the climate crisis intensifies. Corporations are pushing 'solutions' to the climate crisis such as carbon offsetting – in reality a licence to carry on polluting, profiting, and destroying our planet's biodiversity. Instead, we need real solutions that keep carbon in the ground, conserve nature and repair our ecosystems.
