L1 Civilization GB- some links for revision
The history books "Oxford History of England" by Morgan and "Histoire de la Grande Bretagne" by Roland Marx are the first place to go for revision. But these links will helps too.
This article from wikipedia on The Pilgrimage of Grace is useful.
YouTube - Death of Thomas Cranmer
This video on youtube, extract from a documentary, gives a short explanation of Thomas Cranmer's death because he refused to obey Mary on religious questions.
This video extract recounts an earlier episode, when Edward VI became King.
And this video extract from a documentary recounts an even earlier episode - the conflict between King Edward and Mary. Though these videos no doubt exaggerate the importance of personal psychology, they are very interesting.

LANSAD WEEK TWO
Using English in France
Reading, listening and vocabulary
The first theme we have been looking at has been stereotypes. But there are other questions which affect relations between the English and the French.
Do you think that too much English is used in France ?
- Do you say “email” or “courriel”?
- Do you say “baladeur” or “walkman”?
Can you think of other examples of English words which some French people try to avoid.?
What is your opinion ?
Look at this article about the use of English, listen to it a couple of times. Then look at the “read more” section. This piece is of course, again, from the BBC.
Read another article about the domination of English in today’s world.
Grammar : questions
Short exercise on Yes/NO questions
Short Exercise on Information questions
More difficult exercise on question forms in general
Discussion : Stereotypes
What stereotypes of Englishmen are common ? Is there a little truth in them?
Look at these cartoons about Englishmen. Do you understand them
What stereotypes of Spanish people are common ?
Spanish
What about Italians?
Listen to the latest news from Radio Netherlands
