I put up the preprint of a recent project about teachers’ beliefs about listening and task-based language teaching.
Regular readers of my other blog will know these are particular interests of mine.
I’d like to thank all the participants and please, if you have any feedback, please comment here or on the SocArxiv page below.
I put up a new pre-print on SocArxiv:
In my work as a language teacher to a group of orthodontists and orthodontic treatment assistants, I wanted an analysis of orthodontic practitioner-to-patient discourse. Because access to authentic spoken discourse was too difficult to attain due to ethical considerations, a small corpus was constructed in order to facilitate better informed form-focused instruction. Details of the typical forms found in the corpus are given, as is an overview of the corpus construction.
