This is a recap for A2 English Language - Language Change students ahead of their exams. It covers prescriptivism and descriptivism, whilst also introducing some of Jean Aitchison's analogies for negative views of language change (the 'crumbling castle', the 'damp spoon' and the 'contagious disease'). It has in-built discussion points, as well as an extension activity where students research their own newspaper articles reflecting prescriptivist/descriptivist outlooks. Could be a good way to round off the course.
