I added this podcast to my master's level course, Language and Literacy in Education, even though it's not created by an academic but *gasp* by a lawyer--it's quite good:

Subject: INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Hello.
I’ll be teaching the module ‘introduction to the history of the English language’ for undergraduate students. They are Bachelor of English students.
Anyone has resources or references to share? And any interesting ideas on how to make the lessons entertaining?
Thank you in advance.

Subject: Re: INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
It can be interesting to briefly speculate on how language change may manifest in the future. I'm planning to show my students some clips from the movie "Cloud Atlas" (currently available on Netflix) where we see conversations in an imagined future variety of English and evaluate the scriptwriters' idea of how language would change in a few centuries.

Subject: Re: INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Dear Zurina,
I have been running a History of English course for several years now. The course compendium (with many original materials) can be downloaded from here: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__liu.se_ikk_english_e3_course-2Dwebpages_hoe-3Fl-3Den&d=DwIFaQ&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=_rMj7-Pgoc9IWqUnTVAZ6aLZ1r8V9PaRLjSW-DQVx4E&m=D_jS0P27s1ktS0NTmm-yiFK1iXde-A8YtbR2mC-vheE&s=0jJa_aZHpnoUeannOYsCVmeeQ2JsdLkprEkvBR3oMso&e=
It is something of a whistle-stop tour of the history of English from Old English to Early Modern English, where we focus on representative texts from each main period with accompanying exercises. The course is examined though a take-home exam, where students are required to carry our similar analyses to those we have done on the course, but with two unseen texts as the point of departure. The exercises are designed to introduce students to various resources that they will need to use for their analyses in the final exam. Most students are able to pass the exam the first time around.
I tell students at the outset that we will be dealing with questions:
Why does language change?
How does language (and what aspects of language) change?
Why is Old English almost unrecognisable as the predecessor of Modern English?
Why does English stick out as a rather odd Germanic language?
In what ways has British history left its mark on the English language?
Why is English orthography (spelling) so irregular/strange?
What evidence do we have of how English has changed?
I start with an orientation in how and why languages change, before proceeding chronologically from Old English. This is the structure ( I only have 5 two-hour sessions):
1. Language Change & Development – why and how does language change?
2-3. Old English (c.700-c.1150)
4. Middle English (c.1150-1500)
5. Early Modern English (1500-1700)
I can also recommend the BBC series "The History of English", which documents how the history of the English language goes hand in hand with the history of Britain. The first programme (available on You Tube) charts the Old English period, the arrival of the Vikings and the Norman Conquest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UqzBA1LNbE
The following reconstruction of the Vikings meeting Anglo-Saxons is also an entertaining introduction to language contact and an opportunity to hear Old English and Old Norse (albeit with varied accents): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXHTcAJstuo
This is our course reading list (most of the resources are available on line):
