Greetings from ACTFL 2024 conference in Philadelphia 🙂Very happy to be presenting our scoping review of research on teaching and learning Arabic, completed with Dr Anna-Maria Ramezanzadeh, funded by www.qfi.org and @oxforddeptofed.bsky.social.

I just finished my minor corrections so am done with the PhD. I found out lots of fun stuff and it will become a book about L2 listening for teachers. Key take-aways: listeners find non-existent L1 words often. Sound overrides sense. Even high ability learners rarely access grammar when listening.

A warm welcome to our new students on the MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) here at @oxforddeptofed.bsky.social! In our first session, we found out how many languages are spoken in the group - 20!
