@AleksandraHouse Unlimited users for £100. Wonder if it’s worth buying for our department. Even the college if unlimited.

@EnfieldCentre @leedscitycoll @LeedsArtsUni Would like to have seen that.

@AleksandraHouse "The Death of the Author" essay, 1967. Roland Barthes - the "ultimate meaning" of a text is dependent on the reader(s) so why shouldn’t there be polyvocal texts produced by ‘hybrid minds’?

[Stephen @ESOL_UK]

@AleksandraHouse @EnfieldCentre @leedscitycoll It’s all about other people and are neurobiological hardwiring to belong to and connect to something bigger than ourselves.

We are so pleased to welcome families from Afghanistan arriving @HeathrowAirport 🛬

Imagine memorising a page from the English dictionary everyday, and then eating it! #ESOL https://t.co/e2F1dXGiHA

@AoC_info @E_T_Foundation @jeff_jdgee11 All for inclusivity and diversity. And yet #ESOL learners are still means tested (unlike the free entitlement to maths and English) meaning those who work and earn above a threshold, have to pay for their course fees. Unlike native speaking English and maths students in FE.

For #RefugeeDay we hear from Hamida Khoder, a student @EnfieldCentre @leedscitycoll talking about why she writes stories and what inspires her to write. #wecannotwalkalone #RefugeeWeek2021

@davenewsham 4th century BC. Great quote. Belonged to the Greek cynic philosophy. “Reject all conventional desires for wealth, power, and fame. Instead, lead a simple life free from all possessions.” And if you can get free booze, great!

Primary schools will open to all pupils from 8 March.
