Note to all: Please continue to update your blogs weekly - when you progress to A2 you will be using the blogs much more and it will be useful when you come to write your coursework. Please remember to update with not only your notes, but with articles, videos or any research you come across which relates to language that you think you may find useful in the future. Look at blogs on the Guardian, and also the Guardian's language pages as a starting point - the link to this section of the website is in the RSS feed to the right hand side of my blog.
