A BBC article suggesting English lessons should learn from multimedia ("Schools should take advantage of the range of texts now available to teach the language, including online") at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4337784.stm
led me to a QCA report "A curriculum for the future: subjects consider the challenge" which can be downloaded at http://www.qca.org.uk/14303.html
About English this summary says: "the range and type of texts are exzpanding with the new challenges of reading web pages and using hypertext to create individual non-linear texts for a reader. Ways of reading are changing to take account of this and English will need to adjust to these changes."
Yippee - someone's heard what we've been saying all this time!
