Recent years have seen an explosion in video content available online.

Much research on part-time Jewish educational programs has focused on curricular content and pedagogy.

Linguistics is conspicuously absent from language teaching in UK schools. A-level cultural topics cover a range of themes such as cyber-society, cultural heritage and multiculturalism, but the approach taken to these topics is not informed by linguistics. In previous work, we have argued that this is an unfortunate omission not only because…
