I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

They'll be a lot of chatter about England's PISA results this morning, but we need to talk just as much about Wales. They rejected phonics and knowledge-rich curricula in favour of 'areas of learning', 'skills suites' and barely any testing. Wales is now 40 points below England in every domain.

New open-access paper! We tracked how 50 multilingual children learned new words through reading using eye tracking. Reading times decreased with repeated encounters, while comprehension skill was the clearest predictor of learning. With Jiayin Li & Jeanine Treffers-Daller: doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

Good to see m’colleague Prof Steve Strand’s research being used to hand Badloss his arse. Steve’s work also shows there is no deleterious effect on monolingual English kids associated with the prevalence of #EAL learners in their schools.
