I'm delighted to be speaking at this event, about findings from the @LeedsTransition project on the language of school, at @Education_Leeds, in collaboration with @Marcusjones900 at @HuntResearchSch. Looking forward to hearing experts on this really important issue.
Michael Inglis and I have contributed a blog to this series, about the language of science education at the primary-secondary transition. We write about some findings from our @ESRC project @LeedsTransition, based at @Education_Leeds .
Is there a "slump" in literacy and vocabulary between Year 6 and 7? @ricketts_lara and colleagues decided to investigate, and here's what they found... https://t.co/zinXJKz9dI
Speaking at my first in-person conference since March 2020 tomorrow: #rED21 session 4, with @Marcusjones900 on our findings about science vocabulary at KS2 and KS3
I'm looking forward to this! I'll be talking about our project in general and then the challenges presented by apparently straightforward vocabulary in Key Stage 3, developing from work by myself and @lovermob.
It was great to present some findings about the lexical / grammatical complexity of teacher talk as part of the @LeedsTransition yesterday with @alicedeignan for @EnglishAston’s ‘Through the Language Lens’ seminar series. Thanks to all who attended. Recording available soon!
An excellent blog-post by Gary Chambers, one of the co-investigators of this project, about year 7 students' views about challenging words and phrases they encounter in Maths, English, Geography, History and Sciences.
‘Posh words’, ‘nerdy words’: what students say about language! New research insights by CLER researchers on @LeedsTransition project, led by @alicedeignan. Check out this blog by Gary Chambers. https://t.co/mIyomnYfrm
Our research has contributed to the 2020 Oxford Language Report on the impact of the ‘vocabulary gap’ in the transition from primary to secondary school. @alicedeignan @OxfordEdEnglish report.

Looking forward to contributing to this fab series of talks @EnglishAston. I’ll be sharing ongoing work with @Education_Leeds on the @LeedsTransition project, exploring how teacher talk differs between primary and secondary school 📚
We have a paper for the @LeedsTransition project accepted for @icame41 in Heidelberg! “Teacher talk and the school transition”, exploring our spoken corpus, with colleagues @alicedeignan, @duygucandarli and Gary Chambers
Paper accepted for @CorporaJournal with @lovermob, the first from the @LeedsTransition project. "Using corpus methods to identify subject specific uses of polysemous words in English secondary school science materials". Pre-print: https://t.co/gnJGWrgXRZ
Just one week until the deadline for our Research Fellow in Corpus Linguistics post @UniversityLeeds, working on the @LeedsTransition project to explore the differences in academic language between primary and secondary school.
To warm us up, the first question is, “How do you get started when you need to write a paper?” Remember to use the tags #AcWriMo#CamCov and get talking in the thread below :D @CUPAcademic
