		<description><![CDATA[I very much enjoyed the recent &#8216;ten blogs&#8217; deal doing the blogosphere rounds, and I also love the monthly round ups that Shelly Terrell and Karenne Sylvester (and others) often do, but I got to thinking about all those other blog posts that are going to waste&#8230;.

		<description><![CDATA[In a previous post I mentioned an article I had read on &#8216;nativised&#8217; reading materials &#8211; readings which are adapted to include local (and familiar) names, places and foods (for example) whilst retaining the vocabulary and grammar structures of the original. In the article, the researchers took a story based in New York and transplanted [...]]]></description>
