Kilt
The kilt is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, driven by a renewed sense of Scottish pride. The hit TV show Outlander, set in 18th century Scotland, has increased interest in kilts among its many American viewers.

Critical discourse analysis focuses on the connection between language, ideology, power, and how discourse influences sociocultural change.
Clauses, sentences and text
The document discusses the organization of clauses, sentences, and text. It defines a clause as a subject and predicate, a sentence as containing more than one clause, and a text as a body of written or spoken language. It notes that the organization of text must meet certain demands, such as signaling the topic, introducing new entities with full noun phrases, and referring to given entities with pronouns if they are mentioned nearby. It also discusses using cleft sentences to highlight important information and including a theme and end-focus in any text.
Lesson one
Syntax deals with how words are combined to form phrases and sentences. A phrase contains a head word along with optional modifiers that provide extra information about the head. Phrases are combined to form clauses, with a noun phrase serving as the subject and a verb phrase as the predicate. Constituent structure examines how words group together into meaningful units within clauses. Constituents can be moved, substituted, or ellipted without changing the core meaning of a sentence.
Lambert’S Socio Psychological Model Shahida
Lambert's socio-psychological model from 1972 focuses on the social and psychological aspects of second language acquisition. The model identifies key factors that influence learning a second language: attitudes and orientations towards the language, aptitude for language learning, motivation to learn, level of proficiency gained, and impact on self-identity. Outcomes can be additive bilingualism, which enriches experience without harming the native language, or subtractive bilingualism, which can weaken development of the second language.
Canterbury Tales Background Pp

The document provides an overview of different approaches for integrating literature into language instruction.
Psycholinguistics (1)
This document discusses the key topics of psycholinguistics including production, comprehension, and acquisition in 3 sentences or less.
Deixis
Deictic words are words that derive part of their meaning from the context in which they are used, such as who is speaking, who is being addressed, or when and where an utterance is made. There are three main types of deictic words: personal deixis which indicate speakers and addressees using pronouns like I, you, she; spatial deixis which indicate locations using words like here, there, this, that; and temporal deixis which indicate times using words like now, then, yesterday, tomorrow. Deictic words are context-dependent and help connect language to real situations.
The Canterbury Tales
The document provides an overview of Geoffrey Chaucer's famous work The Canterbury Tales. It describes Chaucer's original plan for the stories, discusses how the text was left unfinished, and summarizes some of the pilgrim characters that are featured, including the Wife of Bath, the Prioress, the Monk, the Merchant, and the Physician. The document encourages readers to imagine creating their own pilgrim characters that would join the group traveling to Canterbury.

These principles include cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, contextuality, and intertextuality. The document examines each principle in detail and explains how text linguistics relates to various linguistic subdisciplines.
Basic Phonetics for Teachers
This document provides an overview of the classification and characteristics of speech sounds in the English language. It examines the anatomy and physiology involved in speech production, including the roles of the brain, lungs, larynx, vocal tract and tongue. Speech sounds are classified based on their voicing, place and manner of articulation. Vowels and consonants are discussed in detail, along with different types of consonant sounds such as stops, nasals, fricatives and approximants. The document aims to outline key phonetic concepts to help teachers of English language learners understand speech sound production and identify potential problems.

Psycholinguistics
Psycholinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and the mind. It examines the cognitive and neural processes underlying language production, comprehension, and acquisition. The three primary processes investigated are language comprehension (understanding language), language production (generating spoken or written language), and language acquisition (how humans learn language). Psycholinguistics emerged as a field in the late 1950s and 1960s and combines the disciplines of psychology and linguistics.
Beginning concepts in psycholinguistics

Who killed the Robin? Nursery Rhymes & their roots in history
The background to some of our most popular British Nursery Rhymes. Apart from enjoying the Rhymes again, the historical detail adds a new dimension for many who wouldn't normally volunteer for a history lesson! I've presented this to mainly older audiences. It's a great way to think back to when they first heard the rhymes and when they shared them with their own children and grandchildren. You often find someone in the group who loves reading historical dramas and will add extra detail. With thanks to: Iona & Peter Opie's The Oxford Nursery Rhyme Book; Albert Jack's Pop Goes the Weasel; Roger Lancelyn Green Myths of the Norsemen; Felix Dennis's Nursery Rhymes for Modern Times and wikipedia. One of a series of decks given in Lancashire, UK and first presented in 2013. NB: There's more text shown on the slides than I'd actually use in practice but it gives you an idea of the voiceover.

The British film industry has experienced periods of growth and decline throughout its history. It began in the late 19th century and reached its peak production in the 1930s and 1940s, known as the "golden age" when directors like Michael Powell and Carol Reed created some of their best works.

Another successful period occurred during World War II led by filmmakers like Powell and Pressburger.
