Village’s Amateur Archaeologists Find Lost Tudor Palace
- When a group of amateur archaeologists set out to find the buried remains of a Tudor palace
- in their Northamptonshire village five years ago, they knew the odds were against them. “Many
- of us were brought up in the village, and you hear about this lost palace, and wonder whether
- it’s a myth or real. So we just wanted to find it”, said Chris Close, the chair of the Collyweston
- Historical and Preservation Society (Chaps) which made the discovery of the Palace of
- Collyweston in a back garden this year. “But we’re a bunch of amateurs. We had no money, no
- expertise, no plans, no artist impressions to go off, and nothing remaining of the palace. It was
- naivety and just hard work that has led us to it”.
- The site was found using geophysical surveys and ground-penetrating radar. Various
- attempts had been made in the 1980s and 90s to find Collyweston Palace, the home of Henry
- VII’s mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort. However, without the advantage of modern technology,
- none had succeeded. The palace was famous during the 15th century and several historic events
- took place there. The pre-wedding celebrations of Margaret Tudor to James IV of Scotland in
- 1503 took place in the palace, and Henry VIII is recorded as holding court there on 16 and 17
- October 1541. By the mid-17th century, it had fallen into disrepair, and until the Chaps dig
- uncovered the palace walls in March, there was very little remaining evidence of its existence.
- “A number of things have only really come to light as we’ve done this project”, said Close.
- “As you do more and more research, and various different records start to become unearthed,
- we realized Collyweston had privy councils being run from here, which is of massive national
- importance”. Historians from the University of York helped verify the group’s findings and identify
- the palace through some uncovered stone moldings, and will work with Chaps on more
- excavations to further reveal the structure and conserve it for the future.
- The Chaps team, which comprises more than 80 members ranging from teenagers to people
- in their 70s and 80s, first set out their plan to find the palace in March 2018, using “local folktales
- and hearsay” to help refine their search area. They carried out geophysical surveys and used
- ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to help reveal the location of the palace walls, before securing
- permission from homeowners to excavate in gardens. “We’ve done it all on an absolute
- shoestring”, said Close. “We’ve basically done an £80,000-£90,000 project for roughly £13,000.
- For us, being a little society, to have achieved this with no money, or expertise, or plans, I think
- it’s something that the whole society should be proud of”.

Read the text below.
If those who declare that there is no best method are asked why, the most immediate and frequent answer is likely to be "Because it all depends," meaning that what is best depends on whom the method is for, in what circumstances, for what purpose, and so on. That there is no best method therefore means that no single method is best for everyone, as there are important variations in the teaching context that influence what is best. The variations are of several kinds, relating to social situation, educational organization, teacher-related factors, and learner-related factors. There have been several attempts to categorize such variables systematically and comprehensively, but even the brief and random listing above shows that they are at different levels of generality, as well as of discreteness and tangibility.

One of the popular myths about the English language is that
somewhere people are still speaking the kind of English that
Chaucer or Shakespeare or Milton spoke. This myth does, of
course, have some foundation in fact, though the mythical
versions repeated above are gross exaggerations. The relevant
fact is that some regional dialects of English retain old forms
which have disappeared from the standard form of the language.
This conservatism in colonial varieties is, rather unfortunately,
termed 'colonial lag' - unfortunately because the term gives the
impression that the colonial variety will (or should) one day catch
up with the home variety, though this is unlikely ever to happen.
Colonial lag is a potential factor in distinguishing colonial
varieties from their home counterparts in all levels of language:
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and lexis.
BAUER, L. An Introduction to International Varieties of English. Hong Kong
University Press, Hong Kong, 2003. [Adapted].
The levels of a language are mentioned in the last sentence
in the text and refer to the different layers or components that
make up a language, each contributing to its overall structure
and function. Which level refers specifically to the
arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed
sentences in a language?

When I made my way to college, I was truly astonished to find
teachers who appeared to derive their primary pleasure in the
classroom by exercising their authoritarian power over my fellow
students, crushing our spirits, and dehumanizing our minds and
bodies. I had chosen to attend Stanford University, a predominantly
white college (primarily because the financial aid packages were
better than those offered by black institutions), but I never once
considered what it would be like to study with teachers who were
racist. Even though I had attended a high school with outspokenly
racist teachers who were contemptuous and unkind, I had
romanticized college. I believed it would be a paradise of learning
where we would all be so busy studying that we’d never have time
for the petty things of this world, especially not racism.

2010, p. 2.

though I had attended a high school with outspokenly racist

It seems to me, having been involved for many years with
teaching English as a so-called second or foreign language, that
there are deep and indissoluble links between the practices,
theories, and contexts of ELT and the history of colonialism.
Such connections, I want to suggest, run far deeper than
drawing parallels between the current global expansion of
English and the colonial expansion that preceded it. Rather, I
want to argue that ELT theories and practices that emanate from
the former colonial powers still carry the traces of those colonial
histories both because of the long history of direct connections
between ELT and colonialism and because such theories and
practices derive from broader European cultures and ideologies
that themselves are products of colonialism.

A teacher’s experience of using technology in language
teaching
Published 29 October 2021
Using technology has always been an important part of my
teaching, even in the pre-digital age. Like many early adopters, I
get super-excited by the ‘wow’ factor of new technology.
However, some technology (like VR – virtual reality) is still quite
challenging to use successfully. In my own teaching, I’m happy to
incorporate tools which are rather more familiar. (...)
Speaking
My
EAP (English for Academic Purposes) students naturally use
PowerPoint to deliver their presentations. The software is so
familiar that they are unaware that they are using technology!
Classes concentrate on strategies for making a talk effective,
such as incorporating memorable images and reducing text to just
key words. Many of my students have serious pronunciation
difficulties, so revealing a word at the same time as saying it helps
them to be understood by the audience.
Like many teachers, I like the engagement and interactivity
afforded by Kahoot! My favourite voting app is Mentimeter
because it is quick to create a poll, reliable and easy-to-use.
Voting anonymously is significantly different from putting up your
hand. Doing it remotely remains an exciting event – watching as
students’ votes come in. A great way to finish a discussion lesson
on controversial issues is with a class vote.
I encourage fluency in the classroom but also ask students to do
more discrete practice away from the classroom using their
mobile phones – recording themselves, listening and rerecording. They can try out voice searches which are hugely
motivating when you achieve success! (...)
Vocabulary
Many of my new students don’t have a system to record and
review the new vocabulary we cover in class. As part of their
learner training, I present the app Quizlet which allows learners to
create sets of digital flashcards. It’s free. Students who choose to
try it can decide what to write on the back of a card – a translation
or a personalised example sentence containing a new word. The
app automatically creates games such as matching exercises and
Pelmanism, which some learners enjoy.
I am a big fan of graphic organisers and have long encouraged
students to use mind-maps. Having free versions such as
Mindomo is beneficial in helping store words in concept groups
and in reviewing new language.
