Competently Brought to Life - Bringing The Competency Framework for EAP Teach...Steve Kirk
This document discusses priorities and approaches for training a new EAP teacher with one day's notice. It recommends focusing on the BALEAP competency framework, which identifies four key areas: academic practice, EAP students, curriculum development, and program implementation. Within these areas, the document emphasizes academic discourse, text processing and production, understanding student needs and gaps in teacher knowledge. It provides examples of how to structure a training session around texts and relate content to the competencies.

How to give a good 10min presentation Jodie Martin
This document provides tips for giving a good 10 minute presentation. It recommends choosing a theme, limiting the presentation to 10 slides with 1 slide per minute, and practicing aloud to time yourself. The key points are to educate the audience slowly and clearly while maintaining excitement through passion for the topic. Presenters should not fear questions and should conclude with confidence after covering an introduction, necessary information, and interesting details.
My first presentation at the 39th International Systemic Functional Congress. "The Jazz is strong in this one: the presentation and positioning of knowers in performance student texts."

How to write academically or How a PhD is like The Big Bang Theory. Start as Penny, draft as Leonard, publish as Sheldon. A gross oversimplification of academic writing, but a handy reminder.
There are two types of linguists. Type 1 linguists speak many languages, while Type 2 linguists study language scientifically without necessarily speaking multiple languages themselves. Type 2 linguists examine topics like pronunciation, writing systems, vocabulary, old and new communication methods, and both successful and unsuccessful communication. While some linguists speak other languages, their work involves rigorous scientific study of various aspects of human language rather than just language acquisition.
A PhD is like Alice in Wonderland because as you delve deeper into your research, things get stranger and stranger. Students struggle with feeling too big or too small for their research topics and deadlines. While pursuing an obscure topic for years can seem mad, it's what allows you to fall down the rabbit hole of discovery like Alice.
This summary provides the key details about a student's 3-minute thesis competition entry talking about their research on jazz student literacy:
The student tells the story of a high school student who studies jazz piano in university. There, the student realizes a performance degree is not enough and is interested in honors. The student meets a linguistics doctoral student studying jazz student writing literacy. Few have studied the writing of music or jazz students. The linguistics student interviewed honors jazz students and analyzed their writing, finding they justify research by emphasizing musicians' uniqueness and use language and notation to construct their messages. The goal is to better understand different university writing styles and help music students' writing.
