The Modern Taxonomy Wheel

The Modern Taxonomy Wheel | The Lexis Nexus | Scoop.it

" This Taxonomy wheel was first discovered on the website of Paul Hopkin’s educational consultancy website mmiweb.org.uk That wheel was produced by Sharon Artley and was an adaption of Kathwohl and Anderson’s (2001) adaption of Bloom (1956). The idea to further adapt it for the pedagogy possibilities with mobile devices, in particular the iPad, I have to acknowledge the creative work of Kathy Schrock on her website Bloomin’ Apps."

How we decode 'noisy' language in daily life: How people rationally interpret linguistic input

How we decode 'noisy' language in daily life: How people rationally interpret linguistic input | The Lexis Nexus | Scoop.it
Suppose you hear someone say, "The man gave the ice cream the child." Does that sentence seem plausible? Or do you assume it is missing a word?
Derek DeWitt's insight:

And so - how can we use this knowledge in the classroom? It seems pretty clear that this error-correction mechanism is partly responsible for L1 interference - the Ss are "correcting" with their native tongue.
