10. Light pollution not improving, says CPRE
Roger Harrabin BBC environment analyst 17/04/19
Just one in 50 people in England experiences nights that are free from light pollution, according to the results of a survey. The work, carried out for the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE), suggests the situation has not improved since it raised the issue 12 years ago. The group says everyone should be able to witness the glory of a starry night. But more than half the people taking part said they couldn’t see more than 10 stars in the constellation Orion.
The survey asked people to count the stars in this constellation as a measure of light pollution in their area. Just a 10th of people could count up to 30 stars, whereas the Royal Observatory in Greenwich says that up to 40 could be visible to someone with a sharp eye on a clear night. Only 2% of participants had truly dark skies which allowed them to see more than 30 stars. That’s half the level of the previous Star Count in However, the CPRE can’t be sure how similar the group of people completing the last survey was to the one carrying out this one. A record 2,300 people took part in the count, and the group says government, councils and the public should treat the issue more seriously. Stargazing is not the only reason for craving the darkness: artificial light at night can rob people of their sleep and harm health. It can also have disruptive effects on wildlife.

25. (1) One of the fundamentals of language learning is real communication and new technologies can certainly facilitate this essential aspect through, for example, videoconferencing and blogging. (2) There are also lots of ways of recording and editing audio as a method of improving pronunciation, boosting learner confidence, extending speaking skills and deepening understanding. (3) Filmmaking and animation also draw on a variety of useful skills and promote creativity, collaboration and personalised learning. (4) Teacher-produced audio or video podcasts are useful for encouraging autonomy and distance learning outside of the classroom where students are able to revise at a time which suits them.

27. (6) Moreover, the more pupils regularly access resources independently, the more opportunity they give themselves to master new skills and develop their learning further. (7) There are a plethora of possibilities for enhancing language learning with technology as there are colleagues willing to get help from language sites and social media. (8) The stumbling block for many is not having the time to seek out new tools and become familiar with them, as well as the fear of relinquishing control to their pupils who may be more techno-savvy than they are.
