There aren't that many videos that demonstrate working on listening decoding in class, so I thought I'd record a snippet from a lesson in which a B1 group tries to transcribe authentic speech for the first time: eltgeek.wordpress.com/2018/0…

In der Schweiz sind Kinder durchschnittlich viereinhalb Jahre alt, wenn sie eine Diagnose im sogenannten Autismus-Spektrum erhalten. Neue Forschung zeigt: Das ist meistens zu spät.

Just signed a contract with @CambUP_LangLing (@CambridgeUP) to write a book about the Manchester Voices project. Should keep me nicely busy for a while 😬😬😁 @VoicesMcr

Delighted to finally have a copy in my hands. It was a joy to work on this book with the amazing Herbert Puchta. But it was a challenge squashing what you want to say into just 300 words per tip! Huge thanks to the team at CUP, especially Scott, Jo, Karen, and Alison x

Last week: got a bit too excited about Ed Sheeran's new song, because of the way he pronounced his 'u's in the trailer. Today: again a bit too excited to see that Youtube automatic captions transcribed his 'tune' as 'gene'.
A fascinating talk by Martin Bloomfield about the way dyslexic people process visual information. #IATELF2021

Very useful open access article on corpus evidence vs 'the canon' of grammar items and their description in some materials. Evidence from actual use demonstrates the weakness of many such descriptions.
We don't normally use 'go' after 'going to', the pedagogical grammars tell us. Is it true? Has it ever been? And how can we investigate claims of grammatical tendencies using corpora? Answers here, in my new paper (open access!): pressto.amu.edu.pl/ojs_3/pli…
If you're participating in this year's IATEFL conference, come join me for a talk about TubeQuizard tomorrow afternoon.🙂
Oh this slide makes me angry. Still no work on decoding skills on the list, apart from reading the transcript as you listen.
