Medievalism, Multilingualism, and Chaucer examines multilingual identity in the writing of Gower, Langland, and Chaucer. Mary Catherine Davidson traces monolingual habits of inquiry to nineteenth-century attitudes toward French, which had first influenced popular constructions of medieval English in such historical novels as Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe. In re-reading medieval traditions in the origins of English from Geoffrey of Monmouth, this book describes how multilingual practices reflected attitudes toward English in the age of Chaucer.
Storytelling with Children (Resource Books for Children)
In this book, the activities described have been used with children aged seven to fourteen with between six months and three years of English. This is a very wide range of experience and potential learning development. Furthermore, in my experience the difference between one class and another, even of the same age and in the same school, can be enormous. So much depends on whether English is part of the children’s lives in their society, how enthusiastic and informed their parents are about English, how naturally English is used by the teacher in the normal life of the class, and last but not least, how free the children feel to ‘have a go’ in English.
