Dear all, Greetings from Edinburgh! I reckon my name might sound unfamiliar to some of you, slightly because I completed my PhD at Manchester a few years ago, and largely because I have been quiet on this forum for a long time as I was drawn to the various adventures in the early stage of my academic career in a […]
Read moreAlex Baratta and Paul Smith (University of Manchester) and Lydia Reid (Nottingham Trent University) have been awarded funding from the Society for Research into Higher Education (a grant of £5000) to investigate the interplay of two identities – academic and religious – in students who profess a faith. We wish to investigate how students manage these two identities, especially […]
Read moreI’ve had news today of acceptance (with revisions) of an article I submitted to International Journal of Research and Method in Education. The article is called ‘Beyond member-checking: A dialogic approach to the research interview’, and is based on my methodological approach to my doctoral work. The reviewer comments were very thorough and helpful (which is not always the case!), […]
Read moreA quick post to say that, after a presentation and panel interview yesterday, I’ve been offered a Lecturer in TESOL post at University of Leeds. I’m reeling somewhat from the shock of making my first academic application and actually getting the job, but looking forward to it all the same – it’s a strong research community and they seem to […]
Read moreFinally! After much to-and-fro with various uncontactable reviewers (so the editor tells me), I finally have a journal article: Harvey, L. (2013). EAP teachers’ perceptions of learner motivation. International Student Experience Journal 1 (2). It’s an online journal friendly to postgrads and (of course) international students, and would (normally) have a fairly quick turnaround time, so I’d recommend it for […]
Read moreMy proposal has been accepted for a paper presentation at the American Association of Applied Linguistics conference in Dallas in March, and my attendance there is being funded by the School of Education. The paper I’ll be presenting is based on the narrative of one of my PhD participants: This presentation draws on data from my PhD, a narrative study […]
Read moreSome time ago, when looking to get in touch with other motivation researchers, I contacted Judit Kormos at Lancaster University. She was very friendly and supportive of my work, and invited me to talk at one of their fortnightly Second Language Learning and Teaching (SLLAT) research group meetings. So, I go on Wednesday 7th March (see http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/event/3974 for abstract). I’m particularly […]
Read moreAbout a year ago I submitted a chapter proposal, based on my MA dissertation, for a book idea by Damian Rivers and Stephanie Houghton. After various wranglings with publishers and reworkings on the part of the contributors, their proposal has been accepted by Continuum and will hopefully go to press at the end of 2012. The full reference will be […]
Read moreThe 4th ENIEDA conference on Linguistic and Intercultural Education took place in Vrshac, Serbia, 29 Sept- , 2011. The focus was placed on negotiating and constructing European identities across language and cultures. It was a small scale conference, a combination of plenary speakers (Cornelia Ilie, Maguelonne Dejant-Pons and Srikant Saranji), workshops and paper presentations. I personally, expected more interactivity both during workshops and […]
Read moreHi folks, At the conference, I mentioned a distinction that I thought could be useful to us between usable and useful knowledge. I said I would pass on the reference. Well, I had come across it in Wikely & Muschamp (2004) and I have since followed up their acknowledgement of Baker (2003). In so doing, however, I have discovered that […]

Read moreLou writes: Just submitted an abstract for the International Postgraduate Conference at the Centre for Applied Linguistics, University of Warwick, on 28th and 29th June. I’m planning to go to the conference whether my paper is accepted or not – but fingers crossed. The paper is based on my 2008 MA TESOL dissertation, on which my PhD is based, so I […]
Read moreI’ve just submitted an article to Gender and Education based on a content analysis I did last year as part of the MSc Educational Research. The article looks at the representation of gender relations in the online version of New Headway, and the ways in which theorisations of gender, identity and language learning may inform, and be informed by, the emergent postmethod movement […]
