The original wug test developed by Professor Berko Gleason in 1958 using nonsense words to elicit children's productive use of subconsciously acquired rules for plural formation, past tense, diminutives, and adjectives. Teachers might appreciate this reminder that grammatical comptence is not learned exclusively at school; students of language acquisition can ponder the various rules Berko Gleason aimed to test.

Shona Whyte : Vidéo d'environ une heure d'une séance de présentations courtes de chercheurs français sur leurs travaux sur l'apprentissage des langues étrangères médiatisées par les technologies.
Séminaire national sur le numérique au service des langues, à l'Université de Franche-Comté, Besançon, 2-3 juillet 2012.
Du site du colloque :
"Table ronde « Recherche »Quelles spécificités des recherches liées à l'usage des TIC pour l'enseignement-apprentissage des langues étrangères?
Animateur : Elke Nissen (Université Stendhal) Participants : Maud Ciekanski (Université Paris 8) Muriel Grosbois (Université Paris 4) Nicolas Guichon (IFE) Marie-Françoise Narcy-Combes (Université de Nantes)
Les recherches portant sur l'utilisation des TICE dans l'enseignement-apprentissage des langues ont pour objectif final d’améliorer l’apprentissage dans un contexte médiatisé ; contexte en permanente évolution dû aux technologies elles-mêmes, mais aussi aux approches et concepts didactiques de référence. Ces recherches se caractérisent avant tout par leur grande variété. Celle-ci se retrouve dans le type de recherche mené (ex. recherche-action, démarche expérimentale), dans le type de dispositif concerné (formation à distance, formation hybride ou intégration des TICE en cours présentiel) et dépend du focus (sur les apprenants, sur les enseignants ou tuteurs, sur une méthode pédagogique particulière, sur la qualité ou l'évolution du dispositif et de ses composantes), mais aussi dans les différentes disciplines où les recherches s'inscrivent (didactique des langues, sciences du langage, sciences de l'éducation, etc.) et les méthodes d’analyse qui leur sont inhérentes. Ce qui singularise ces recherches par rapport à celles dans d'autres domaines, c'est que la langue à la fois véhicule la formation et fait l'objet de l'apprentissage. L'intérêt des interactions en ligne est ainsi double, que ce soit avec les pairs, le tuteur ou des interlocuteurs dans d'autres pays."

Overview of SLA by Florence Myles for the Good Practice Guide, Languages Linguistics and Area Studies at the University of Southampton.
Abstract: "The purpose of this general overview article is to outline how research into second language acquisition (SLA) over the last few decades has fed into our understanding of learning and teaching in foreign language classrooms. After a very brief overview of SLA research findings concerning both route and rate of L2 development, theoretical models attempting to explain these findings are presented, ranging from purely linguistic to cognitive models and social/interactionist models. The relationship between SLA research and second language pedagogy is then explored. Finally, recent developments investigating specifically the relationship between instruction and L2 development are outlined."
Includes glossary and links to applied linguistics websites.

Grammar Gamble for language geeks, no doubt intended for native speakers, it can provide reading/parsing practice for advanced ESL learners - in Twins, for example, decide whether the highlighted word is a noun or a verb, and indicate your confidence in your decision using a slider.
