Big education publisher to end printed textbooks
The world's largest education publisher, Pearson, has said it will gradually phase out printed textbooks. It has taken a decision to make all of its learning resources "digital first". Pearson said the future of the industry is in e-books and digital services. Pearson CEO John Fallon explained more about the company's future direction. He told the BBC: "We are now over the digital tipping point. Over half our annual revenues come from digital sales, so we've decided, a little bit like in other industries like newspapers or music or in broadcast, that it is time to flick the switch in how we primarily make and create our products." He added: "I am increasingly confident and excited about this." Pearson said a huge advantage of digital books is that they can be continually updated, _________3 means teachers will always have access to the latest versions of textbooks. Mr. Fallon said Pearson would stop its current business model of revising printed course books every three years. He said this model has dominated the industry for over four decades and is now past its use-by date. Fallon said: "We learn by engaging and sharing with others, and a digital environment enables you to do that in a much more effective way." He added the digital books will appeal to the "Netflix and Spotify generation". Textbook writers are worried they will earn less from their books as digital products are sold on a subscription basis.

Why a global Language?
‘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. (…)
These are the kinds of statement which seem so obvious that most people would give them hardly a second
thought. Of course English is a global language, they would say. You hear it on television spoken by politicians from
all over the world. Wherever you travel, you see English signs and advertisements. Whenever you enter a hotel or
restaurant in a foreign city, they will understand English, and there will be an English menu. (…)
But English is news. The language continues to make news daily in many countries. And the headline isn’t
stating the obvious. For what does it mean, exactly? Is it saying that everyone in the world speaks English? This is
certainly not true, as we shall see. Is it saying, then, that every country in the world recognizes English as an offcial
language? This is not true either. So what does it mean to say that a language is a global language? Why is English
the language which is usually cited in this connection? How did the situation arise? And could it change? Or is it the
case that, once a language becomes a global language, it is there forever?
These are fascinating questions to explore, whether your frst language is English or not. If English is your
mother tongue, you may have mixed feelings about the way English is spreading around the world. You may feel
pride, that your language is the one which has been so successful; but your pride may be tinged with concern, when
you realize that people in other countries may not want to use the language in the same way that you do, and are
changing it to suit themselves. We are all sensitive to the way other people use (it is often said, abuse) ‘our’ language.
Deeply held feelings of ownership begin to be questioned. Indeed, if there is one predictable consequence of a
language becoming a global language, it is that nobody owns it any more. Or rather, everyone who has learned it now owns it – ‘has a share in it’ might be more accurate – and has the right to use it in the way they want. This fact alone
makes many people feel uncomfortable, even vaguely resentful. ‘Look what the Americans have done to English’ is a
not uncommon comment found in the letter-columns of the British press.
But similar comments can be heard in the USA when people encounter the sometimes striking variations in
English which are emerging all over the world. And if English is not your mother tongue, you may still have mixed
feelings about it. You may be strongly motivated to learn it, because you know it will put you in touch with more people
than any other language; but at the same time you know it will take a great deal of effort to master it, and you may
begrudge that effort. Having made progress, you will feel pride in your achievement, and savour the communicative
power you have at your disposal, but may none the less feel that mother-tongue speakers of English have an unfair
advantage over you. (…)
These feelings are natural, and would arise whichever language emerged as a global language. They are
feelings which give rise to fears, whether real or imaginary, and fears lead to conflict. Language is always in the news,
and the nearer a language moves to becoming a global language, the more newsworthy it is. So how does a
language come to achieve global status?

Text 2a. Second Language Learning
One of the principles of all learning is that we make sense of new information and ideas by relating them to
our previous knowledge. There are two main kinds of previous language knowledge which second language learners
can use in order to make sense of the new language they encounter: the first is their knowledge of their mother
tongue and the second is the knowledge they already possess about the second language itself.

Text 2b. National Curriculum Parameters
Every text is organized within a specific genre according to its communicative purposes, as part of the
conditions of discourse production, which generate social uses that determine any and every text. Genres are,
therefore, historically determined, and constitute relatively stable forms of utterances available in a culture.

How alcohol damages stem cell DNA and increases cancer risk.
LONDON (Reuters) - Drinking alcohol produces a harmful chemical in
the body which can lead to permanent genetic damage in the DNA of
stem cells, increasing the risk of cancer developing, according to research
published on Wednesday.
Working with mice in a laboratory, British scientists used chromosome
analysis and DNA sequencing to examine the genetic damage caused by
acetaldehyde, a harmful chemical produced when the body processes
alcohol.
Their findings offered more detail about how alcohol increases the risk
of developing 7 types of cancer, including common forms such as breast
and bowel cancer. It also showed how the body seeks to defend against
the damage alcohol can do.“Some cancers develop due to DNA damage in stem cells. While some damage occurs by chance,
our findings suggest that drinking alcohol can increase the risk of this damage,” said Ketan Patel, a
professor at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who co-led the study.
The World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies alcohol as
a Group 1 carcinogen, citing “convincing evidence” it causes cancer in humans.
In Wednesday’s study, published in the journal Nature, Patel’s team gave diluted alcohol to mice and
then analyzed the effect on the animals’ DNA. They found that acetaldehyde can break and damage
DNA within blood stem cells, permanently altering the DNA sequences within these cells.
This is important, Patel said, because when healthy stem cells become faulty, they can give rise to
cancerous cells.
