I have just finalised (I hope) the last version of a short paper I have written for the ReSIG newsletter. I was supposed to write it last year, but never quite managed to get a first attempt together. This year I went back to my drafts and had another go. I think it is the first time that I have had my […]
Read moreA continuing look at the methodology of ethnography as used in Alice Goffman’s book ‘On the run: Fugitive life in an American city’. See too an earlier post on this.

Read moreAn interesting story entitled ‘How I finished my PhD …just 30 years after I began“. I haven’t quite decided if this is an encouragement or not. What I think it does do though is show the emotional investment in the data collection stage and the impact that can have on the writing up. Although not comparable with this lady’s experience, […]
Read moreCheck out this nice poster on the C2 Ellen Wilkinson corridor wall to celebrate our recent doctoral graduates. You all are our inspirations!
Read more‘Englishes in Practice’ could be an interesting journal for us working within the area of ELP, EMI, CLIL, Multilingualism, and World Englishes to both look for some references (I have found two useful articles on EMI and ELF for myself) and to find opportunities for publishing our papers (with the rejection rate of 25%, quite a good opportunity) (It does say Open […]
Read moreI came across this clip yesterday about a 14 year-old Peruvian girl who has managed to transform the socially accepted view that Quechua, the language of the Incas, is only spoken by the uneducated and indigenous populations. Her version of Michael Jackson’s ‘The way you make me feel’ has gone viral on YouTube and has had a particular impact on the way […]
Read moreA new bilingual ‘immersion’ app primarily aimed at children is currently available in Spanish, French and English. An interesting concept with its goal being ‘immersion not translation’. If you are interested you can get involved in the development of the product, so if you fancy an ‘immersion experience’ with Spanish or French, why not give it a go!

I was really excited about this series as they were specifically asking for contributions between teachers and academics, or teachers and learners. One thing I have wanted to do for some time is to find a way for the […]
Read moreThis course is aimed at both PhD students and supervisors, as well as family and friends who might be interested in how to support us through the PhD journey. The author writes: ‘How to Survive your PhD’ runs for 10 weeks, but it’s designed to be lightweight and easy to manage and should take you no more than an hour […]
Read moreI am sitting on a patio, drinking coffee in the early morning sunshine in southern Spain, high up in the mountains but looking in the distance to the Med, reflecting on all that has happened recently and is set to happen soon. First of all, this is the moment to again congratulate all our new doctors: —- from the D […]
