Language teachers, like other teachers, had to quickly
rethink priorities and means of delivery in response to the
Covid-19 pandemic as well as measures to manage the pandemic.
It isn’t surprising then that some of the findings in our 2021
survey relate to the pandemic.
Language teaching was suspended by local education
boards at one in five primary schools in January 2021 due to
Covid-19, and the impact has been felt more acutely in deprived
areas. Teachers in state secondary schools report that two in five
pupils in Key Stage 3 (lower secondary) did not engage with
language learning during the first national lockdown, leading to
time lost to language learning for a lot of pupils.
Dr Ian Collen said that “the most disadvantaged pupils are
most likely to have been negatively affected by the impact of
Covid-19, experiencing greater disruption to their language
learning and fewer international opportunities. Looking to the
future, schools should consider giving more curriculum time to
languages, as well as more opportunities to use languages in real
life, such as visits abroad.”
Many teachers reported that they cannot wait to get back
to face-to-face teaching in the classroom. Despite the barriers
they have faced over the past year, it is encouraging to see how
they pivoted to remote learning during the national lockdowns.

the impact of Covid-19.

ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
It is a common disorder that often results in learning difficulties.
People with this disorder act impulsively and are easily
distracted. They may also exhibit hyperactive behavior. While
some specialists consider ADHD a behavioral disorder, others
call it a cognitive disorder.
The cause of ADHD is unknown. However, brain scans
indicate that it may be caused by abnormal size, function, and
form of the brain’s frontal lobe. There may also be an imbalance
of chemicals in the brain. ADHD is believed to be inherited in
most cases, but it is also prevalent in premature babies and
children who have experienced head injuries.
The disorder ADD (attention deficit disorder) was
renamed ADHD to account for the “hyperactivity” that is often
one of the major symptoms found in people with the disorder.
The disability can exist without the presence of hyperactivity, in
which case it is referred to as a subset of ADHD called ADD.
Both terms are often used to describe the same disorder.
Children can exhibit ADHD symptoms at a very young
age, and are often diagnosed before the age of seven. On the
other hand, some adults do not realize they have this disorder
until their own children are diagnosed with it. Some symptoms,
such as hyperactivity, may be less severe as a child ages and
learns coping mechanisms.

As children with ADHD grow older, some symptoms tend to

Global tech giant Google has added 24 new languages
spoken by more than 300 million people to its Google Translate
platform. “For years, Google Translate has helped break down
language barriers and connect communities all over the world,”
the US-based company said. It added that it now wants to help
those whose languages aren’t represented in most technology.
The new languages range from Bhojpuri, which is spoken in
northern India, Nepal and Fiji, to Dhivehi, with its estimated
300,000 speakers in the Maldives.
The move now brings to 133 the total number of
languages available on Google Translate as of May 2022. The
company says the new languages also represent a technical
milestone, explaining that they use a machine learning model
which learns to translate into another language without ever
seeing an example. This can be useful for languages where large
datasets of human translations, which can be used to train a
computer, are not available. But the company admits that the
technology isn’t perfect.
So, will the translations be accurate? Some polyglots have
noted problems with the languages already available. “For many
supported languages, the translation is not great. It will definitely
get the idea across but often it will lose much of the subtlety of
the language,” Google Translate research scientist Isaac Caswell
told the BBC.
With the new languages, he said, it would be no different.
But the people who helped in the research said it was a good
place to start. “My impression from other people I have talked to
was that it was a very positive thing for them,” Mr Caswell said.
In 2020, Google Translate added five new languages to the
platform in what was then its first expansion in the past few
years.

“English is the global language.” — a headline of this
kind must have appeared in a thousand newspapers and
magazines in recent years. “English Rules” is an actual example,
presenting to the world an uncomplicated scenario suggesting the
universality of the language’s spread and the likelihood of its
continuation. A statement prominently displayed in the body of
the associated article, memorable chiefly for its alliterative
ingenuity, reinforces the initial impression: “The British Empire
may be in full retreat with the handover of Hong Kong. But from
Bengal to Belize and Las Vegas to Lahore, the language of the
sceptered isle is rapidly becoming the first global lingua franca.”
Millennial retrospectives and prognostications continued in the
same vein, with several major newspapers and magazines finding
in the subject of the English language an apt symbol for the
themes of globalization, diversification, progress and identity
addressed in their special editions.
A language achieves a genuinely global status when it
develops a special role that is recognized in every country. To
achieve such a status, a language has to be taken up by other
countries around the world. They must decide to give it a special
place within their communities, even though they may have few
(or no) mother-tongue speakers.
Salman Rushdie comments that “the English language
ceased to be the sole possession of the English some time ago”.
Indeed, when even the largest English-speaking nation, the USA,
turns out to have only about 20 percent of the world’s English
speakers, it is plain that no one can now claim sole ownership.
This is probably the best way of defining a genuinely global
language, in fact: that its usage is not restricted by countries or by
governing bodies.

Children are not being taught enough about plants at a
time when they could be the answer to global warming, scientists
have warned. This has led to people becoming “disconnected
from the botanical world” of plants when understanding flora has
become crucial to ecology. Even students starting masters’
degrees in biology lack a “basic” ability to identify plants, the
new study claims.
Data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency of the
United Kingdom reveals just one student graduated in plant
science for every 185 who graduated in other life sciences
between 2007 and 2019. The lack of botanical knowledge means
people can’t identify invasive species and that ecological damage
is being done as trees are planted in the wrong places and
wildflower meadows are damaged.
Researchers argue “nature literacy” must become a core
skill for professionals from planners, engineers, architects, and
educators as much as it does to farmers, foresters, and fishermen.
Researchers at the University of Leeds, in England, say plant
ecology — which studies the distribution and abundance of
plants, the effect of the environment on them and how they
interact with the environment — is also not taught well enough.
“We ignore the opportunities presented to us by the botanical
world at our own peril,” said lead study author and doctoral
student Seb Stroud.
This data is also corroborated by the Scottish government,
which said there are not enough skilled people to implement
“nature-based solutions” to rising temperatures. The University
of Leeds team also argued that people’s inability to identify
plants could make the spread of invasive plants worse. The
researchers conclude: “The extinction of botanical education will
only continue to worsen unless we break the cycle of
disconnection from the botanical world.”
