Traduction française de l'ouvrage de Wolfgang Klein "Zweitspracherwerb. Eine Einführung" (1989) faite et mise en ligne par l'acquisitionniste française Colette Noyau.
Le livre reste intéressant pour son traitement de l'apprentissage non-guidé (cf le projet mené par Klein et Perdue dans les années 80s-90s http://www.mpi.nl/world/tg/lapp/esf/esf.html) et pour la présentation de théories contemporaines ou déjà démodées : l'analyse contrastive, les théories de Krashen ...

Education Technology Solutions, May 2013.
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.

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?

"Student mobility is on the rise. A previous Communiqué of the Conference of European Ministers Responsible for Higher Education set a target of at least 20% of those graduating in the European higher education area having participated in a study or training period abroad by 2020. While this aim is very desirable, it does beg the question: What about the remaining 80% of students who may not engage in some kind of physical mobility during their studies?"

Robert O'Dowd of the INTENT project writes about university level telecollaboration as a substitute for or complement to physical mobility. Delete the scoop?

The aim of this module is to introduce language teachers to the use of concordances and concordance programs in the Modern Foreign Languages classroom. Concordancing is part of Corpus Linguistics, which is dealt with by Tony McEnery & Andrew Wilson in Module 3.4. Section 2.2 of this module includes a brief introduction to corpus linguistics.
Authors of this module Marie-Noëlle Lamy, The Open University, UK. Hans Jørgen Klarskov Mortensen, Vordingborg Gymnasium, Denmark. With an introduction by Graham Davies, Editor-in-Chief, ICT4LT Website. Via Randy Rebman
Shona Whyte's insight:
Undated module on Graham Davies' legacy website (most recent reference 2011, the majority from the 1990s). The authors recommend printing and reading the 50+ pages of information, then come back to the webpage to use the links to complete the activities.
