‘Concept+Language Mapping’ (CLM) as an Innovative Approach to CLILRichard Pinner
How to integrate content learning with language learning has been a central issue in current
research on CLIL (Dalton-Puffer et al.,2010). In this talk I present our experience in developing
an innovative approach, ‘Concept+Language Mapping’ (CLM) (Lin & He, 2017; He & Lin,
forthcoming), by drawing on Lemke (1990)’s ‘thematic patterns’ theory to tackle the challenge
of integrating language scaffolding into the teaching of complex content topics in secondary
science classrooms in Hong Kong. Implications for content-based language education or ‘Soft
CLIL’ will also be discussed.

As anywhere in the world, developing the so-called ‘global human resources’ is at the top of the agenda in Japanese educational policies. To give a few examples, MEXT (the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) has selected 56 ‘super global high schools’ and 37 ‘super global universities’, which are expected to design and supply models for global education at the secondary and tertiary levels; the number of International Baccalaureate schools (Diploma Programme) is planned to increase from 27 to 200 on government support; in primary schools, full-scale English language education (i.e. three 45-minute lessons a week for Years 5 and 6 pupils) will be made compulsory in 2020. In parallel with these government-led undertakings, CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has been attracting teachers’ attention and its practices have been slowly but steadily spreading at grass-roots level. In this context, I will first talk why CLIL is considered to be effective for the education of global citizens and then show how CLIL is explained, localized and implemented in the Japanese school environment. Useful materials for CLIL teacher training will also be provided.
Developing Higher Order Cognition in a Subject-Focused ClassRichard Pinner
Session 1—Thinking skills
Participants will experience teaching approaches that develop students' cognitive abilities, integrating critical thinking into the classroom. Participants will also explore ways to equip students to evaluate the reliability and credibility of sources of knowledge as independent learners outside the classroom.
Session 2—Productive Questions
This session focuses on two classroom techniques that develop students' abilities to analyse, evaluate and create: Essential Questions and Socratic Seminars. Participants will become familiar with both techniques and will put them into practice in a context relevant to their own teaching.
Description of the subsystems of language and how teachers can draw on their knowledge of language and its subsystems to support ELs in their acquisition of language
There are five generation of applied linguistics looking into the history and development of language teaching. This slide presents the fourth generation of five.

This is a small information presentation produced to highlight findings from a small-scale study for my MA in New Literacies at the University of Sheffield.
The research focuses on children's perceptions of literacy after following the National Literacy Strategy. It also explores whether children's perceptions match with those of their teacher.
This presentation explores the varieties of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programmes that go under this umbrella term and explains the original four Cs of CLIL: content, communication, culture and cognition. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing a CLIL approach in the curriculum will be compared and some of the learning strategies to develop the cognitive domain while teaching a foreign language will be explained. The changes required in terms of professional development for teachers and changing roles for students will be explored and the efficacy of introducing a CLIL approach for bilingualism in a globalised world will be promoted.
The World Is Not Flat (Rossomondo & Lord, ACTFL2015)Gillian Lord
Language educators are eager to transform their teaching by embracing new technologies, be they digital tools, Web-based resources, or ancillaries that accompany textbook packages. While there is no doubt that digital materials facilitate opportunities for exposing learners to authentic language and structuring interaction at a distance, many wonder when and how these technologies will cease to be add-ons begin to serve a more integrative function in transforming language teaching and learning.
In this session we propose that the paper-based textbook has outlived its usefulness in today’s world, logistically and pedagogically. We focus on two aspects of the future paperless classroom: what students do on their own time and how; and what can be done during class time and how. Specific examples are provided from an existing digital learning environment and a project in development in Spanish, but the theoretical and practical principles are applicable to any language and level.

Readings:
Ellis, R. (1994). The study of second language acquisition. Oxford: Oxford
University Press. Chapter 1.
· As never before, people have had to learn a second language, not just as a pleasing pastime, but often as a means of obtaining an education or securing employment. At such a time, there is an obvious need to discover more about how second languages are learned. (学习二语的原因:why do you need to learn English? Is there have some special reason to learn [academic, daily life])
· ‘L2 acquisition’, then, can be defined as the way in which people learn a language other than their mother tongue, inside or out side of a classroom, and ‘Second Language Acquisition’ (SLA) as the study of this. [do you think you are a successful second language learner? Why? How you did it?]
· What are the goals of sla: learner language [how learners’ accents change over time. Another might be the words learners use; how learners build up their vocabulary.]
· What type of input facilitates learning? [do learners benefit more from input that has been simplified for them or from the authentic language of native-speaker communication?
· The goals of SLA, then, are to describe how L2 acquisition proceeds and to explain this process and why some learners seem to be better at it than others.

Yule: By the age of two-and-a-half, the child’s vocabulary is expanding rapidly and the child is initiating more talk while increased physical activity includes running and jumping. By three, the vocabulary has grown to hundreds of words and pronunciation has become closer to the form of adult language. At this point, it is worth considering what kind of influence the adults have in the development of the child’s speech.
Morphology; syntax
Lightbown: How do children accomplish this? What enables a child not only to learn words, but to put them together in meaningful sentences? What pushes children to go on developing complex grammatical language even though their early simple communication is successful for most purposes? Does child language develop similarly around the world? How do bilingual children acquire more than one language?

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
