M1 LEA Multiculturalism in the UK

I got to the end of the topic of multiculturalism (although I may come back to it). You will find here the powerpoint I used in class. Most of it is illustration  - there is little text; this is deliberate. Still, it might help you revise when it is time to do so.

You will find the PowerPoint if you click here 

As you know I try to record my classes on MP3, again so as to help you at revision time, or if you are ill some time and cannot attend class. The recording does not always work, so classes may be missing sometimes. Here are the recordings of the classes on muticulturalism in the UK, including the first one, which I have already posted.

First recording

Second recording

Third recording

Fourth recording

Fifth recording

Sixth recording

In class we watched extracts from videos.  Here are the links:

This video was of a programme in which a Black British family of the 21st century "travelled back in time" to discover what life was like fifty years and more ago for Black immigrants to Britain.
Click here   You may have to move the cursor if you want the episode to play from the beginning. This is episode one of the series - others are available on YouTube.

Then we looked at a video about the Jewish community in Manchester, both religious and non-religious. You will find it here.    This is episode one of the series - others are available on YouTube.

We also looked at a short video about racial discrimination at night clubs. This short article in French will interest you https://sos-racisme.org/communique-de-presse/la-discotheque-le-memphis-poursuivie-en-justice-a-la-suite-dun-testing-de-sos-racisme/

Captain Cook agrégation anglais 2020 option civilisation post 43: from facebook

On this day 18th January 1778 English navigator Captain James Cook became the first European to visit the Hawaiian Islands. He named them the Sandwich Islands, after Lord Sandwich, who was then first Lord of the Admiralty. Capatian Cook had associations with Whitby as a merchant navy apprentice and there is a monument to him at the top of the town.
A statue of James Cook stands in Waimea, Kauai commemorating his first contact with the Hawaiian Islands at the town's harbour in January 1778.
•Here's an article about Captain Cooks discovery of the Hawaiian Islands:

La direction du département a pu trouver une enseignante pour remplacer Mme Goudet pendant son congé maladie. (Merci à la direction) A partir du 21 janvier, Mme Guillemin Bonniec assurera ses cours de linguistique et de phonologie. JM

Captain Cook agrégation anglais 2020 option civilisation post 42 : Indispensable university lecture

I do understand that, since the written exams are looming, people are concentrating on the subjects for these, and will no doubt be spending more time later on Captain Cook. this is one of the reason I will be posting here recordings of the classes, to be listened to again in April! I am also continuing with various videos and podcasts. This lecture in French by a historian is indispensable, I would say. The beginning in particular is good - later it becomes a little descriptive.

Little grammar puzzle

I found myself noting on  a piece of paper this morning

"M2 exam : marked and handed in
Agrégation exam: marked and handed out".

And I wondered if my students would have understood the little note, and/ or be able to do an explanatory translation into French...

Send me an email if you think you have it.

One of the items brought back from the expeditions by Cook and his crew was a traditional Tahitian nose flute, which was recently exhibited at the British Museum in London. This is what such an instrument sounds like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoalqkOum04&t=38s

Captain Cook agrégation 2020 option civilisation post 39: The mapmaker

Cook the mapmaker

Captain Cook agrégation anglais 2020 option civilisation post 38 In Our Time : historians discuss Captain Cook

In Our Time is a serious popular programme on BBC Radio 4 which deals mostly with the history of ideas. Solidly establishment, but nevertheless fair-minded, would be the way I would describe it. If you like history there are many dozens of programmes to download and listen to, but, for the moment, the programme on Captain Cook is indispensable, to hear one particular British perspective. You will find the podcast here:
