The BALEAP podcast sounds great! If you’d like to hear what me, Rob Playfair & Jody Bradford thoughts after attending King's Foundations PIM: Collaboration, Power and Influence then definitely worth listening to ep 1 🎧 Iwona Pringle @lucy_worldwide (+ co-presenters) get shoutouts🎙️

This connects to Hadley's 'professional disarticulation' when researching #tleap managers. I haven't been in the field long enough to get a sense of a trend (decline or otherwise) but would be interested to hear perspectives of those who have.

Dissertation as podcast. And critique of graduate school. @pace_ou #tleap open.spotify.com/episode/0QrfZE…

Many in #tleap are studying part time. Maybe this is of interest. Also this site they mention with personal accounts of part time doctoral researchers thrivingparttime.com Jody Bradford Alexander Black Niamh Mullen (Ní Mhaoláin) Daniel O'Sullivan Jo Kukuczka (she/her) @pace_ou

An interview with Claudia Strauss about her book What Work Means. Of interest to those of us in #tleap 'non-standard' employment, perhaps. campanthropology.org

LLMs exhibit covert racism through dialect prejudice, showing even more negative biases against AAE speakers than humans: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Many pre-sessional courses in the UK now have far fewer students than in pre-covid boom years. How have the courses changed as a result of being smaller? less factory-like? more scope for experimentation / alt approaches? Smaller classes? Different institutional remit? #tleap

Needs analysis is associated with practical pedgogical outcomes: designing / evaluating a course. Could it also be used for social critique? Even Benesch's work was about working within existing educational systems, rather than as a study of the education system itself. #tleap

Despite only tweeting and liking the niche topic of #tleap my timeline on this app shows me anything but... Where can online discussions happen now? Linkedin? BALEAP mailing list? Mastodon? Missed this at the time but reposting as it's a good question with good thread so far.

1/4 @LaetitiaM19 and I have just submitted our manuscript to Palgrave and our book ' Recovering Language in Higher Education: Social Justice, Ethics and Practices' should be published in the next few months.

Volume 56 of the Studies in Language Testing series includes a chapter from me and Eddie Cowling about teachers working in #tleap assessment roles. Lots of other interesting case studies in the volume, too. Open access: cambridgeenglish.org/english-resear… BALEAP TAFSIG (Testing, Assessment and Feedback) @TEd_EAP

Check out our chapter in Studies in Language Testing. Lots of useful work in this series for #tleap and assessment folk

📕SIG members Eddie Cowling & Rob Playfair research lang assessment literacy, & how the TAFSIG Piloting Network can support #eap practitioners. cambridgeenglish.org/english-resear… Then find out more about the (free!) network here: baleaptafsig.weebly.com/piloting-netwo… #tleap

Looks very useful for #tleap Interesting points of comparison with Michelle Evans and Alex Ding recent social theory book which has related aims. …achinginhighereducation.wordpress.com/2024/10/06/spe…

Sorry to have missed this, anyone attend? Anti highlights? #tleap
