Discourse domain approach to teaching ESP and application to task-based university courses.
Shona Whyte's insight:
Slides from a conference presentation I gave at the ESP workshop during the French annual conference of university English teachers and researchers. http://saes2013.u-bourgogne.fr/ateliers/41-atelier-23-anglais-de-specialite-geras.html
I argue that we can use the notion of discourse domain to inform task-based teaching for all kinds of ESP, including students who are traditionally classified as "specialist" (pre-service EFL teachers) and "non-specialist" or "specialists in other disciplines" (LANSAD; or usual ESP fields such as medicine, law etc.).

Michael Wilkinson: "not all translators – and especially student translators – are prepared to invest in […] software, especially if they are uncertain whether they will be using it on a large scale. One solution is to turn to a freeware program such as AntConc.
The first version of AntConc was released in 2002 by Laurence Anthony. It was a simple concordance program, but since then it has undergone continuous improvement and development. The most recent “stable-release” version at the time of writing (February 2012) is AntConc 3.2.4(Anthony, 2011).
AntConc can run on Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems, but whereas WordSmith requires additional software to run on systems other than Windows, AntConc runs on all three systems without additional software. In addition, AntConc is able to process texts in almost any language in the world, including Asian languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Moreover AntConc can process both UTF-8 and all legacy encodings on different systems, so it should be able to process texts saved in the operating system default encoding on all systems.
Like WordSmith, AntConc comprises, in addition to the concordancer, various other features, such as a tool for generating word-lists as well as a keyword tool that can locate and identify words that occur with an unusually high (or low) frequency in a corpus when it is compared with a reference corpus. However in the following I shall focus mainly on how well the concordancer serves the needs of the translator. Delete the scoop?

VOA Special English - karaoke-style videos where each word is highlighted in turn as the speaker reads. This one is an agricultural report.
While these videos certainly support autonomous language practice, some imagination is required to make them effective for learning. I suppose minimally a teacher would need to make sure the text was comprehensible, but I'm not sure what a good task or learning activity would look like either. Delete the scoop?

"The challenge is to move from external motivation where students are forced/encouraged to focus to instilling internal motivation where they actually want to focus and the distractions simply evaporate."
Shona Whyte's insight:
Interesting discussion (with references) about the problems of distraction when working online. Like the author, I sometimes have trouble focusing when working online and agree that the nature of the task in hand, rather than the inherently distracting environment, is probably more important. There are lessons for face-to-face teaching too concerning intrinsically interesting language learning tasks, rather than teaching to a test. Delete the scoop?

19 participants from 9 different countries participated in the fourth session of Web2LLP's online pilot course, of which the topic centered around managing and sharing content in a social media context through different curation tools and IPR constraints.
Alberto Nantiat (ATiT, Belgium) introduced the concept of curation, highlighting tools such as Scoop.it, Diigo and paper.li, while Mathy Vanbuel (ATiT, Belgium) took the participants on a journey through several cases of copyright-infringement, to make them aware of intellectual property rights issues helping participants make sure that their project activities respect necessary constraints in respect to sharing content while still making sure to be as open as possible.
Last but not least, Shona Whyte (University of Nice, France), shared her personal experience of using Scoop.it as a curation tool while she became involved in the iTILT project. She gave participants useful guidelines and suggestions of how to curate and share content through Scoop.it.

Shona Whyte's insight:
Forthright and thought-provoking analysis of errors in technology implementation in Australian classrooms. Neither the "silver bullet" approach of simply buying equipment, nor the "ICT expert" bolt-on model have brought pedagogical transformation. What works is the normalisation of digital practices via "Bring Your Own Technology" (BYOT) among motivated individuals and institutions, with the IWB a key element of the "network plumbing" which facilitates the transition from a paper to digital work environment.
