With Benjamin Zephaniah's death this week and Shane MacGowan's last week, it feels like we've lost two unique, rebellious voices that captured so much of the essence of the immigrant experience that makes the English language what it is.

Everyone at BookTrust is devastated to hear the news about one of the nation’s favourite poets, Benjamin Zephaniah.

am being informed by a “trained actor” that it’s ok to call some people’s languaging “lazy” because it’s a common term with coaches! being wrong and prejudiced is cool when you’re not speaking as a linguist

Thanks to all our speakers, helpers, teachers, students & everyone involved in the English & Media Ctr A level English Language conference today - was a very varied range of talks and I hope everyone has left with at least one new thing to think about and hopefully lots more.

'That is one of the common pitfalls of Generative AI at the moment: there is an almost infinite amount of data out there for it to train on, but can it decide what’s fact or fiction?'
