Senior Lecturer in Language Education. Research work on corpus linguistics, TESOL, (academic & pedagogic) discourse analysis and language teacher education.
I went into the office and found print copies of our Corpus Linguistics for English for Academic Purposes (https://t.co/e8C5zz6qaq). 👍🏻 If you're teaching, studying or researching CL and EAP, you might want to check it. We're very happy to talk to colleagues/students about it! 😊
Who is featured on the front pages of newspapers around the globe? How are these people described? In @vanderviana's lesson, English language students are asked to consider these important questions and do some small-scale research themselves. See https://t.co/34AflNwJ1x.
Using corpora to explore gender topics in the English language classroom: check out this new resource book for this lesson plan and several other gender-related ones (https://t.co/7W2E6K6qz5).
How do news stories describe women and men? @vanderviana shows how a large corpus can be used to investigate gender matters critically. The full lesson plan with step-by-step guidance is available for free at https://t.co/34AflNwJ1x. @TeachingEnglish
