Various activities are provided as examples and benefits to students include increased motivation, responsibility for learning, and application of language to real life. A range of authentic materials that can be used are also listed.
See the trees: Concept mapping for text analysisLawrie Hunter
Presented at Writing Centers Association of Japan, March 2013.
This presentation reports several cases of fruitful application of Cmap Tools freeware, wherein EAP learners of academic writing discovered intellectual leverage in mapping. In each case the learners drew constrained maps of the content of a text (academic or popular genre), critiqued their maps, arrived at consensus on an accurate mapping, and then set out to write a new version of the text based only on the content of the map. The subsequent work was rich, which points to valuable applications in writing center work.
The document discusses different ways to define functions. It states that a function assigns each input exactly one output. It provides examples of defining functions verbally and using tables. For a procedure to be a function, it must produce a unique output for each input. The document also introduces the concepts of domain and range, explaining that the domain is the set of all valid inputs and the range is the set of all outputs. Functions can also be defined graphically by plotting the relationship between inputs and outputs.
Systemic functional grammar (SFG) is a form of grammatical description developed by Michael Halliday that views language as a network of systems used to make meaning. It is influenced by the work of linguists such as Saussure, Firth, and Whorf. SFG analyzes language according to three metafunctions - the ideational for construing experience, the interpersonal for enacting social relations, and the textual for organizing coherent texts. Grammatical systems like mood and process types play a role in construing different types of meanings associated with these metafunctions. SFG differs from theories like Chomsky's generative grammar by focusing on language use and meaning rather than grammatical rules.
Language and style - In The Country Of Men (Hisham Matar)Anthony Paine
This document analyzes key elements of language and style in the novel "In the Country of Men" by Hisham Matar.

Thinking in Patterns, and pattern cards presented. From Alexander Christopher's work.
Go here for original source code of the pattern cards
https://github.com/differentenergy/Cards-for-Pattern-
This document discusses different approaches to teaching language systems and aspects of language. It covers:
1) The deductive approach where students are given explanations or rules and then apply them to examples.
2) The inductive approach where students see examples first and try to deduce the rules.
3) Using gestures, pictures, and actions to explain meanings of words, grammar points, and pronunciation.
4) Having students practice language through repetition, personalized examples, and correcting any mistakes.
The document discusses four principles of language:
1. Directness - Language should be active, personal, and use "you" to directly address the audience.
2. Abstraction - Language should be specific rather than abstract.
3. Objectivity - Words can have both denotative and connotative meanings, so speakers should consider how audiences may interpret terms.
4. Formality - Language should be at a slightly formal level, using common words and informal constructions that are not incorrect. The summary captures the key points about the four principles of language discussed in the document.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Contextualized language teaching uses real-world contexts and authentic materials to make language learning more meaningful and effective. It helps students understand how language is constructed and used in different situations. A contextualized approach supports integrated skills development and group work. When themes and topics are interesting to students, it can foster a deeper level of language use. Contextualized learning actively involves learners by combining content and context through problem-solving with authentic materials. It supports learning when students search for their own meanings and apply new knowledge to existing understanding and real-life problems.
Marc Egger: Text Analytics for Brand Research -Non-reactive Concept Mapping t...mbruemmer
Marc Egger (Inius) talked about brand research in the context of product development in companies. On the basis of text analytics for consumer social media content, concept maps for market research are developed. The aim is to find out what the consumer thinks about product, brands and general topics via NLP tools that detect, collect and analyze textual consumer content from the web. As an example, the work with the brand concept map was presented. Out of this map the customers’ associations are turned into a network representation that is then analyzed according to the values i) strength, ii) favorability, iii) uniqueness and iv) patterns of thought. This analytics software which is used to elicit consumer perceptions could be improved with regard to the textual data processing in various aspects. These include:
-refine POS tagging and dependency parsing for written oral language such as forum posts for more accurate concept candidate detection.
-also cover intra-article topic relevance.
-face aggregation challenges such as spelling mistakes (burger = burgr), synonymous concepts (tasty burger = delicious burger)
-increase accuracy in ratings of topic relevance by providing high quality resources for German NER and better German anaphora resolution tools
How to Speak German in 30 Days - Why Mark Twain was WrongsmarterGerman
This document outlines a new approach to learning German called smarterGerman that claims to be 80% faster than traditional language groups. It argues that language groups are highly inefficient because they have too many students with different goals, speeds, and levels providing opportunities for errors. smarterGerman instead focuses on individual or couple tutoring in clear English using memory techniques. This allows for full attention, near 100% understanding, and 50% exposure to native language input. The document claims this approach can achieve a B1 language level in 30 hours of study for 2,800 Euros, much faster and cheaper than the typical 6 months and 1,200-7,200 Euros needed for language groups.

a statement.
