Things are looking up at @UniCanberra.

UC staff have put in the hard work to turn the University around.

The least they deserve is not to have real wages go backwards.

I built this system to help my university students master their vocabulary lists more effectively. It's free to anyone. It combines spaced repetition algorithms with AI-assisted formative feedback.
Supports many languages.

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.

“Streets of Minneapolis”.

He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.

Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance 💰

@Leo_CL_Chu Thanks! Hope you enjoy! If you have any feedback on the book (positive or negative) I would be pleased to receive it.

"Every university should renovate the disciplinary framework of its courses [...]. But no university that does so in a robust and principled way should recognise any merit in withdrawing from the engaged and purposeful study of other languages, cultures and societies."

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

The universities of Nottingham and Leicester are taking a swing at language departments. But those proposing closures have taken their eye off the ball, say four linguists

Despite Australia's multicultural society, "we don't necessarily take language education as seriously as other countries. The messaging for children really is that English is the only real language that they need, and we need to change that messaging,"

Who says arts degrees are useless? As job markets diversify, they're more valuable than ever
