Susan is not only an outstanding teacher and mentor to all her students, but also an inspira"on to those of us who have been lucky enough to work with her. The purpose of my presenta"on was to demonstrate what insights a cogni"ve linguis"cs perspec"ve could bring to understanding the dynamics of the disciplinary knowledge building process. This has been the focus of my PhD research. Although concrete objects can be represented directly in the classroom using iconic representa"ons e.
Classroom ac"vi"es included front-of-the class demonstra"ons, role play simula"ons, teacher explana"ons and group wri"ng ac"vi"es. Furthermore, it acknowledges that our feelings, memories, and knowledge of the world and language, have a direct impact on how we interpret these texts.
Prior to introducing the concept of heat transfer into the classroom discourse, the teacher and pupils would frequently co-create text-worlds of the key parts of the here-and-now world e. The Text World Theory model also allows for unrealised, remote, hypothe"cal mental representa"ons or text-worlds of situa"ons.
These can be triggered by the teacher when asking the pupils to predict the result of an ac"on e. One major contribu"on from cogni"ve seman"cs is the insight that abstract thought has a bodily basis. One good example of this is the image schema e. My data demonstrated how these image schemas would frequently be evoked during exchanges between par"cipants and then harnessed by the teacher and pupils to drive their descrip"ons of the heat transfer process forward.

Metaphors We Live By. Werth, P. Harlow: Pren"ce Hall. Although rela"vely young as an academic discipline, applied linguis"cs now has a history long enough to look back on. This study is part of my ongoing research into how applied linguis"c keywords e. This is not to say that the journal detached itself from pedagogical issues aRer The second shiR was found in descrip"ons of language and language acquisi"on. Here again there was a rather clear dividing line between the s and the s.
The third shiR was concerned with the ways applied linguis"c research was conducted and described. References Cook, G. Birds out of dinosaurs: The death and life of applied linguis"cs. De Bot, K. London: Routledge. Joaquin, A. KLA Journal, 1, Kita, K. KLA Journal, 3, Smith, R. The objec"ve of the seminar was to take stock of the current state of research and to iden"fy gaps in our understandings and ini"ate new research to address them. In these contexts, immersion programmes are the most successful, and input-limited programmes the least.
In terms of grammar, a clear advantage was found for the older age group. Working memory and literacy were found to correlate with language learning, which might explain the slower development of the younger children who are s"ll developing both. Both 5 and 7 year olds were very highly intrinsically mo"vated to learn French language learning is fun , but the 7 year olds were star"ng to see its usefulness.
The 7 year olds also had more learning strategies at their disposal. However, both 5 and 7 year old were primarily mo"vated by immediate enjoyment and the cogni"ve resources at their disposal remained limited. Speaking an impoverished non-na"ve L2 at home actually puts children at a disadvantage in acquiring the L2, whereas some aspects of early literacy can transfer from one language to the other. Training for teachers and the role of the home are under-represented in interven"on research.
The session then focused on a highly successful co-teaching programme, whereby a language specialist teacher of Chinese and an L1 teacher, teach jointly Chinese language and culture. This part of the talk explored how the teachers worked together and reconsidered some of their ini"al assump"ons. The second is an ongoing project crea"ng a digital game that provides task essen"al form-func"on mapping prac"ce for learning the syntax of French interroga"ves, considering in par"cular the poten"al role of explicit knowledge about language at this age.
A range of general educa"onal work and discussions on the primary curriculum e. Themes emerging from this research included the lack of training in MFL phonics and the low priority of MFL in schools generally. Interested researchers who would like to be included in this ongoing ac"vity are invited to contact fmyles essex. A total of 10 papers and two keynote speeches were presented. Context The 21st Century is witnessing increased discussions on immigra"on in local, na"onal and interna"onal contexts.
Na"onal ci"zenship and integra"on are highly contested issues. Moreover, sub-state na"ons in the UK and beyond are undergoing expanded devolu"on powers, localising policies on educa"on and community cohesion.
In many minority language contexts such as Welsh, Gaelic, etc. To what extent do new immigrant speakers challenge current concep"ons of integra"on, cohesion and ci"zenship?
Which steps or ini"a"ves could facilitate a more comprehensive view of integra"on, cohesion and ci"zenship in na"onal and minority language contexts? This was followed by a short address from Dr Fiona Copland, who highlighted the links between the work being done by Ingrid Piller, keynote speaker at the BAAL conference, and the issues being discussed at the seminar.
There were two panels of 5 papers in both morning and aRernoon on the themes of language learning and migra"on from various contexts such as migrants in Northern Ireland, Polish migrant learners of Welsh, new migrant speakers of Faroese.
Discussions followed each of the panels, linking some of the themes covered by the presenters such as language socializa"on spaces e. Professor Nic Craith cri"qued the one-direc"onal concept of integra"on, highligh"ng how cultural diversity and mul"lingualism are becoming more and more part of this debate. This seminar contributes to the cross-disciplinary focus of research in applied linguis"cs, with a vision to generate impact through teaching prac"ce and local and na"onal government policy.
The seminar has demonstrated the common threads with regard to integra"on and language learning across these various contexts and the poten"al for cross-sector partnerships to facilitate innova"on and change. Nicola Bermingham n. Tagg, for example, discussed how WhatsApp is seen as more conversa"onal than SMS by her par"cipants, which appears to explain why turns are shorter and richer in interpersonal resources.
Maryam Almohammad discussed how social media exploits and extends older prac"ces around banners, enabling ci"zen ac"vists to reach new audiences in crea"ve mul"modal ensembles of image and wri"ng; a point also made by Deumert in rela"on to the speed of debate around South African protests, for example through the Rhodesmus]all hashtag. Collins discussed how digi"sa"on enables a non-linear reading, more closely recrea"ng the ways in which medieval narra"ves par"cularly manuscripts may have been episodically experienced, in contrast to the more linear progression typical of print narra"ves.
Ruth Page explored how digital technologies enable us to collect, analyse and visualise data in new ways, whilst drawing on established analy"cal frameworks to interpret social and linguis"c prac"ces. Ana Deumert also raised the ques"on as to whether we need new theories for understanding what is happening online, answering her ques"on by drawing on established understandings of crea"vity based on the work of Roman Jakobson, Jacques Derrida and Homi Bhabha.
The conversa"on around academic methodologies and frameworks invited discussion about the act of historicising itself, and the extent to which it involves comparisons within and between diachronic datasets, or the applica"on of older concepts to new datasets and vice versa. With these ques"ons in mind, we discussed possible seminar outcomes with an eye to encouraging future networking and research sharing.
These outcomes include an email group and maintenance of our blog, with plans for a special issue and further networking events. References Baron, N. Seargeant, P. Basingstoke: Palgrave. They were on hand throughout the day to discuss their work, and regular expressions issues, with par"cipants, and the schedule provided lots of "me and space for the general sharing of ideas, worries, problems, and solu"ons.
John Blake deserves a special men"on — he came straight from Birmingham airport in his snow boots and waterproof trousers. In addi"on, John Williams has provided a Unix tutorial and other materials rela"ng to the ongoing Ci"zen Science Project at the University of Portsmouth. Thanks to everyone who took part for making this a most informa"ve and enjoyable day.
There is an increasing recogni"on that a serious considera"on of accounts of illness and dying by pa"ents, carers and even healthcare professionals improve quality of care as well as the experience of being ill. Originally intended as a small event with two keynotes and short presenta"ons, we ended up with two keynotes, 17 presenta"ons in parallel sessions and over 50 par"cipants. Why do these lessons s"ll bear repea"ng? Issues of iden"ty, self-presenta"on, representa"on and their acceptance or resistance by others were themes that con"nued in several of the parallel sessions aRer a short break.
ARer lunch, the group was treated to an interac"ve, immersive performance of poetry, character and movement, demonstra"ng innova"ve strategies in medical educa"on, before coming together for the second keynote of the day. Julie problema"sed an underlying assump"on that such accounts should be dominated by crisis talk and emo"onal vulnerability, sugges"ng that a more nuanced and contextual interpreta"on of emo"onality in end of life contexts, based on actual accounts, would be useful.
One panel focused on accounts involving medical prac""oners as par"cipants or producers, while the other looked at narra"ve case studies, both verbal and mul"modal. London: Sage. ISBN Unlike most methodology books where challenges are usually concealed, this is a prac"cal guide to linguis"c ethnography which underlines prac"cal issues related to data, context, language, technology and ethics. In fact, being messy does not mean that the data lacks meaning. It could simply mean that it is complex and mul"-layered.
The book is divided into three parts. Nor does the discussion engage with contemporary no"ons in super-diverse communi"es such as super-diversity, linguis"c repertoires, linguae francae, and translanguaging prac"ces and how they impact LE research.
The missing minute details regarding the challenges and opportuni"es of researching mul"lingually can be disappoin"ng to novice linguis"c ethnographers interested in researching mul"lingually in super-diverse communi"es.
As stated above, the authors set out the scene embracing the perspec"ve that LE is a careful, rigorous and though]ul process. The third part consists of four chapters Chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10 addressing prac"cal issues in LE research. Chapter 7 engages with philosophical and epistemological debates around empiricism, ethics and impact. The concluding chapter ends as the book started, i. I only wish the authors had tried to deconstruct their previous decisions by discussing what other op"ons they had and whether they would s"ll take the same decisions and why.
