A2 English Language trip to London to attend a workshop at Dr Samuel Johnson’s House. 27th November.
Detailed Description
This workshop focuses on bringing the Dictionary to life and giving the students a sense of the context in which it was written, including 17th-century word books, before taking a detailed look at the work itself.
Students have the chance to browse eighteenth-century copies of Johnson's Dictionary, look at examples of change in the meanings of words and language use, and explore Johnson's attitudes to language change together with the impact of his work.
