Prof. Luis A. Gonzalez will present 'Reviewing Changes' and it sounds interesting! The aim is "to show how the English language has developed in recent years and to demonstrate that those changes mean we need to learn new terms and colloquial expressions. Although modern lexical items are highly specific to the place thwy are used, the main reason we seek to enrich our vocabulary is so that we can communicate fluently with other speakers of English, be they native or non-native speakers. We have to remember that today we speak not just of English but of 'Englishes'. In Great Britain there is a tendency to reject some of these changes in the language and so we have to make the differences between modern use and old usage quite clear. The new focus on broadening knowledge is part of a wider attempt to learn how to use Standard English correctly, improve our written English and help us to speak the English as it should be spoken."
If you'd like references on the presenter ask me (it's long to type!, but he seems to be really good!)
