📢 New open-access publication by CLA member Enric Llurda in World Englishes (Wiley Online Library)! 📝 The impact of English on local languages: The case of Catalan universities. 🔓Open Access 🔓Read & share ➡️ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/weng.70013
Back together in January for the face-to-face #CLAminari 9 ✨ The session explored #virtual_exchange in university #internationalisation 🌍 and #innovative #immersive environments for developing #disciplinary_literacies in ESP 📚 A great way to start the year! 🚀
Very excited to lead my first PI project which such a wonderful team!!! 😊
As Polio (2012) puts it, feedback will be “essentially useless if learners do not have to do anything with [it]” (p. 385). @sonialing.bsky.social and I explored corrective feedback. Findings can be found here: portalrecerca.udl.cat/documentos/6...
What seems to be generally positive are metalinguistic explanations (not simply saying something is wrong, but explaining why) + making sure students have to do something with that feedback (e.g. writing a new version of a text).
Next #CLAminari is on 18 Dec at 11:30 and it’s a very special one: CLA turns 30! 🥳 The celebration will start with a toast 🥂 to 3 decades of CLA, followed by talks by E. Llurda, and G. Vázquez, J.M. Cots & À. Llanes. We’ll close with a festive lunch🍽️
2/4 In “Written Skills Development through the #Erasmus Programme”✍️🌍, @judith-borras.bsky.social & Thais Mena discussed the measures that show improvement in writing as a result of a semester of study abroad
The ENIS project has officially ended ✨ At the final seminar in Brussels, J. Borràs & team shared the network’s research outlets📊 BUT the network will continue as an association 🎉 Judith will get it started 🚀 Want to join? Comment below!
