Nerding out on a syllabus design unit for #TBLT and my (virtual) job at Cooperativa Serveis Linguistics de Barcelona. Rereading Long & Crookes (1991),

adding stuff, adding tangents, thinking about how the field has and hasn't moved on in 27 years.

I have been absent here because I am trying to finish my (delayed) Master's dissertation.

Half-thought out toots will resume next week.

My interview went well but I wonder whether it went well enough. :/

My presentation from today #JACET中部 #tesol #英語　http://www.marcjones.tokyo/2020/09/12/problems-teaching-listening-online/

Best presentation I've seen today is by an undergraduate. Absolutely amazing work by Shonosuke Shimada on Peer Corrective Feedback. He's shown himself to be more knowledgeable about this than many working teachers that I know. #JACET中部 #tesol #英語

Shadowing with a focus on meaning and sound, and a shadowing task that requires cognitive effort helps with the learning of lexical bundles. #JACET中部 #tesol #英語

Takehiro Saito: Seems that a jigsaw discussion approach has really good effect on critical thinking. Also admirable to see how he managed to get students to read and discuss so much despite moving a classroom class to Zoom. #JACET中部 #英語　#tesol

Gonna attempt some tooting from the JACET Chubu conference. #JACET中部　＃英語　#tesol

Is that Yoko Ogawa? I like her book I think it's called The Housekeeper and the Professor.

My coauthor on a duoethnography seems to be doing amazing work. I got an interview lined up for a tenured job. Fingers and toes and legs and arms and tongue and reticulating tendrils crossed.

Always worth transcribing myself interviewing in my second language to stop myself feeling too clever.

'Um, er, well, er, how did you, er, feel?"

I wrote some of my thoughts about the book on my blog. http://getgreatenglish.com/ftsd/2020/09/01/radical-pedagogy-reading-group-freire-p-2000-pedagogy-of-the-oppressed-penguin/

#RPCrew So Freire was disappointing. Am I the only one thinking he didn't go far enough, that he was very patrician - so like mixed messages - and, uh, Mao, Che and Castro quotes?
