On a cold Tuesday morning, the Year 12 A Level English Language students set off on the coach to the British Library in London. Here students attended a lecture from the Dialectologist on Accents and Dialects and the many recordings of sound in the Library. Students then enjoyed visiting the Library’s treasures including the Magna Carta, a Shakespeare Folio and original Beatles lyrics. We then made our way across to Trafalgar Square to see the tree and the Christmas market. After some free time, we made our way over to Dr Johnson’s house and found out about how he wrote the first comprehensive Dictionary, leaving a lasting legacy on the English Language. The students had a wonderful time and it was a fantastic way of seeing many key topics in A Level English Language brought to life!
