It refers to two major aspects of language use today. The first is the variability of meaning making in different cultural, social or domain-specific contexts. These differences are becoming ever more significant to our communication environment. This means that it is no longer enough for literacy teaching to focus solely on the rules of standard forms of the national language. Rather, the business of communication and representation of meaning today increasingly requires that learners are able figure to out differences in patterns of meaning from one context to another. These differences are the consequence of any number of factors such as culture, gender, life experience, subject matter, or social or subject domain. Every meaning exchange is cross-cultural to a certain degree.
The second aspect of language use today arises in part from the characteristics of the new information and communication media. Meaning is made in ways that are increasingly multimodal – in which written-linguistic modes of meaning interface with oral, visual, audio, gestural, tactile and spatial patterns of meaning.

Language Trends is an annual survey of primary and secondary schools in England, designed to gather information about the situation for language teaching and learning. Its aims are: (a) to assess the impact of policy measures in relation to languages; and (b) to analyse strengths and weaknesses based both on quantitative evidence and on views expressed by teachers. Since 2015 there has also been an annual survey in Wales, and since 2019 a biennial survey in Northern Ireland; reports can be found on the corresponding country’s British Council website. The Language Trends series shows general shifts in data and seeks to provide a springboard for teachers, school leaders, academics, inspectors, policy makers, school pupils and the public to consider aspects of language learning more deeply. The headline findings for 2023 include:
• Almost nine out of ten responding primary schools have some pupils for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL).
• The 2023 data reflect a positive increase in the number of primary schools in contact with secondary schools concerning language education.
• French remains the most popular language at Key Stage 3, followed closely by Spanish in both state and independent sectors.
• German is the third most popular curricular language, but entries are much higher in the independent sector.
• For the fourth year running, Spanish continues to have the highest number of A-level entries.
• Schools’ international engagement is improving since the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Further study is required to observe to what extent parents’/carers’ attitudes to languages can affect pupils’ desire to study a language.

Wreckage of US World War Two submarine found after 80 years
The wreckage of a US Navy submarine that sank the most Japanese warships during World War Two has been found in the South China Sea, some 80 years after it was sunk by enemy forces.
The USS Harder was found 3,000ft (914m) below water off the Philippines' northern island of Luzon. The Harder was sunk in battle on 29 August 1944, along with its crew of 79 men.
In one of its final war patrols, it sank three Japanese destroyers and heavily damaged two others over four days, according to the US Navy's History and Heritage Command (NHHC). This forced the Japanese to change their battle plans and delay their carrier force, contributing to their defeat.
“Harder was lost in the course of victory. We must not forget that victory has a price, as does freedom,” said Samuel J. Cox, a retired US admiral who heads the NHHC.
The Philippines was one of the main Pacific battlegrounds of World War Two, as the US fought to retake its former colony from the Japanese Imperial Army.
Waters in and around the archipelago have served as the resting place of famed World War Two battleships. In 2015, US billionaire Paul Allen located the wreck of the Musashi, one of the two largest Japanese warships ever built, in the Philippines' Sibuyan Sea.
The Harder, which sailed under the motto of "Hit 'em harder', was found by the Lost 52 project, which aims to find the 52 US submarines lost during World War Two. It was found sitting upright on its keel or spine, and relatively intact, the US Navy said.
The submarine and its crew were later awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its service during the war. The honour recognises extraordinary heroism in action.
Its skipper, Commander Sam Dealey, was posthumously awarded the US's highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor.
