A wonderful, accessible presentation on the history of the English language. Students look at examples of English through the ages and try to identify features and differences. A useful resource which provides historical context to some challenging texts including 'Beowulf' and the work of Chaucer.

A very useful and well-presented resource for introducing the topic, and for beginning to think about the ever-changing nature of the English language. Thanks!
