Text speak

If you enjoyed the activity today, here are a few more links where you will find more information about text speak.

An online dictionary of text speak.

Two pages from the BBC Newsround website (2005) on the mobile phone service that offered to summarise famous pieces of literature in text language. The second page has examples of famous stories reduced to a couple of lines of text speak – be sure to point out that most of the language is not standard English! Challenging for pre-intermediate level.

An article from the BBC website about the rise of text and email language, and the way in which traditional greetings like ‘hello’ are apparently being replaced. Intermediate level and above.
