WRITE 101X is an edEX MOOC course developed by the University of Queensland. Unlike our course which focuses on building a foundation for pedagogical grammar, this course approaches grammar from the perspective of writing. You can access the course content after registering on edX. The course is free if you do not seek a certificate.
This is my favorite podcast on the history of English. The speaker and creator of this podcast is not a linguist but a lawyer. However, his knowledge of the topic is profound. He has a fascinating way of telling the historical and social events that fueled the evolution of the English language. This podcast is highly recommended.
