General Linguistics Resources - 14 views

  •  
    Wow. I'm realizing that Web 2.0 has definitely not reached the world of linguistics. I'm looking into teaching a linguistics class and what I am seeing is pretty disappointing. This is a text-based list. If anyone finds any 2.0 resources, please let me know!Strange, considering most of these high-tech companies need linguistic specialists to make a lot of there stuff work! Maybe it is a case of "the shoemaker's family goes without shoes?)

WordNet - About WordNet - 140 views

  •  
    WordNet® is a large lexical database of English, developed under the direction of George A. Miller (Emeritus). Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.

  • Are you verbal/linguistic? Then you make sense out of the world through language and can use words effectively either speaking or in writing. When you make puns and tell stories, you exhibit this intelligence.Learning strategies: read material before going to lectures; take notes of what you hear and read; describe what you have learned to others; listen to what others have learned;write out the steps/instructions to a procedure or experiment;use crossword puzzles, puns and imaginary conversations as memory devices;use your verbal/linguistic knowledge to help you study. For example, if you are taking a course in music, make up a story based on what you hear.

Embedding academic writing instruction into subject teaching: A case study - 0 views

  •  
    The benefits of embedding the teaching of writing into the curriculum have been advocated by educators and researchers. However, there is currently little evidence of embedded writing instruction in the UK's higher education context. In this article, we present a case study in which we report the design, implementation and evaluation of an academic writing intervention with first-year undergraduate students in an applied linguistics programme. Our objectives were to try a combination of embedded instructional methods and provide an example that can be followed by lecturers across disciplines and institutions. Through the integration of in-class and online writing tasks and assessment feedback in a first-term module, we supported students' writing development throughout the first term. We evaluated the effects of the intervention through the analysis of notes on classroom interaction, a student questionnaire and interviews, and a text analysis of students' writing and the feedback comments over time. The evaluation findings provide insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach. The embedded writing instruction was perceived as useful by both students and teachers. The assessment feedback, whilst being the most work-intensive method for the teachers, was valued most by the students and led to substantial improvements in the writing of some. These findings suggest that embedded writing instruction could be usefully applied in other higher education contexts.

PLN = Perplexing Linguistic Notion | Graham Wegner - Open Educator - 54 views

  •  
    PLN. Stands for Personal Learning Network. Gets bandied around a lot by educators using social media tools. Myself included. We all think we know what we are talking about when we refer to our PLN. Well, I do, at least. Not too sure about some of you others out there. Here's what I personally think my PLN is:
