It's Plain English Day

The Plain English Campaign Awards are presented each year for clear—and baffling—use of English.

"Golden Bulls" are awarded for gobbledygook. There are several deserving winners, but this one is especially noteworthy as it was awarded to the GENIUS Project, based at the University of Reading.
The project is structured around multifaceted incremental work plan combining novel content design based on new pedagogical paradigms blended with the e-learning environments to facilitate hybrid mode of delivery. This is combined with series of educational experiments on the target learner groups with possibilities to adjust the approach and disseminate the interim and final results.

Our pedagogical approach is based on the educational model which assumes that the learning process is an interactive process of seeking understanding, consisting of three fundamental components: Conceptualization, Construction and Dialogue. The relevant modules of the New Curricula are mapped onto these three components and a hybrid way of delivery is investigated through different scenarios.
The "Foot in Mouth Award" for the most baffling quote by a public figure was awarded to Boris Johnson MP for saying, "I could not fail to disagree with you less."
