You know you're a Lang teacher when you watch this challenge with the paintings in #TraitorsUK & #TheTraitors and all you can think about is how fun this would be in class. Group 1 reads a description and acts out a painting, Group 2 gets a photo and has to match it to the original. #langchat

I'm really enjoying Gary DiBianca's session on teaching culture at the OWLA conference. The emphasis on scaffolding and providing key phrases & sentence starters aligns w what I do w @gianfrancoconti.bsky.social EPI method. Refreshing to see alignment w methods. #LangChat

Trying your best in a second language? Here’s why native speakers seem so rude Judgements of politeness go beyond language and culture – they are also deeply tied to emotion and moral intuition.

"Understanding rudeness isn’t just about knowing vocabulary – it’s also about reading social and emotional cues in context."

Scientists think they have learned exactly when and how humans created the first language A new analysis of genetic studies proposes that the cognitive capacity for language was already present at least 135,000 years ago.

“Human language is qualitatively different because there are two things – words and syntax – working together to create this very complex system.”

Voices of Dead Languages: Jan Bičovský on bringing ancient languages back to life Linguists at Charles University are reconstructing how ancient languages sounded. I discussed the Voices of Dead Languages project with one of its initiators Jan Bičovský.

"Frequently what survives is maybe one percent of everything that once existed, and that survival is mostly due to chance. So we work with chance material."

All the time. Another thing is students will select 2 answers on a multiple choice question, after being told there is only 1 answer. Even when I give rubric based grades, they'll question why they didn't get all the points. They think they should because they turned something in.

Despite the fact that my grading practices have shifted significantly over the past decade, students still ask me “Will I lose points if…?” when they’re concerned about their performance on an assessment. Anyone else field similar questions? #langchat #edusky

I’m heading to Chicago today for the Central States conference on teaching languages. I’m feeling equal parts excited and stressed. I miss #langchat today. In the past I could have found dozens of posts from online friends heading to the same event. Now I’m going to conference like it’s 1999.
