Got an idea for a 20-30k short monograph in any area of stylistics? We would love to hear from you! Get in touch to find out more about our @CambUP_LangLing ‘Elements in Stylistics’ series. @PoeticsLinguist @LitSemantics

- Really excited to announce that I’ll be teaming up with @FunkyPedagogy to write a book for @RoutledgeEd on teaching grammar for secondary English practitioners! Really looking forward to working with Jenny on this! @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK @NATEfeed
- 25 years ago today I started a PGCE in English. Four secondary schools and three universities later and I still think teaching (at whatever age/level) is the most wonderful job there is #teaching
- It was great to receive my copies of our @studyingfiction book today. The book examines the literature classroom through a cognitive poetic lens and is based around a project that @DrofletJess and I have worked on for the last 7 or so years. Wonderful to see it in print 1/3
- That moment when it finally feels like a real book: author’s copies arrive!
- English teachers- let your students know about two free talks I’ll be delivering during the next few weeks. First up is a session this Thursday on studying English at university. Details here unitasterdays.com/events/event/6… @Team_English1 @LitdriveUK @NATEfeed
- This is a neat introduction to metaphor
- Proofs FINALLY read, corrected, and sent back. Should be published in July! @FunkyPedagogy
- Dreadful reporting-again! Nothing is being ‘dropped’. Teachers will still teach and promote poetry (trust them!) Students will have read and enjoyed poetry at KS3. Nothing bad will happen to them simply because they don’t answer an exam question next year
- Just to say that when I was a teacher @EngMediaCentre was THE place to go to for resources and ideas, and it still is-by a long way. And @BarbaraBleiman is a brilliant thinker, researcher and teacher who is incredibly knowledgeable+does so much to support English work in schools
- Delighted to announce that the resource produced by teachers who came to events that @ChloeELHarrison and I ran on ‘Cognitive Grammar in the Classroom’ are now available to download for FREE. See our blog on the events and link to download the pack here educationblog.oup.com/secondary/engl…
- A reply that a few of us sent to @guardian after the Simon Jenkins article on learning languages. Plus other replies
- Any secondary English teachers interested in a PhD in applied linguistics-stylistics and/or English education? There’s the possibility of an innovative funding model that would help you to study with me at Aston. Please e mail me (see link in profile) for more info @Team_English1
- Some good news! Aston Stylistics Research Group has been awarded over 5k funding to work with secondary teachers developing teaching materials based on our research in cognitive stylistics. Details to follow in the new year - watch this space! @NATEfeed @Team_English1
