主题摘要
In this talk, I will outline major approaches to conceptualizing agency in education. I will highlight the interconnection between agency and autonomy in language education. I will also contextualize the discussion of agency in relation to language teachers and learners.

主题摘要
This presentation will explore the impact of the affordances of digital technologies with particular reference to mobile devices on conditions of and for (language) learning. This will be done specifically in relation to notions of literacy, communication and culture and related pedagogical practices with a focus on the 'problem spaces' of learning design, teacher professional development and cultures of use. Consideration will also be given to strategic implications for universities in relation to teaching and learning.

主题摘要
The last three decades have seen a significant advancement in describing and understanding task-based language performance and development. So far, however, the bulk of cognitively-oriented task-based language teaching (TBLT) research has focused on the products of task-based use and learning, relatively little research has examined the cognitive processes in which learners engage during task-based work. In this talk, I will argue that, to facilitate TBLT theory-construction as well as pedagogical practices, it is crucial that researchers dedicate more attention to task-generated cognitive processes. Then, I will review a variety of approaches, both more traditional and state-of-the art, to examining task-based processes. In particular, I described and discussed previous TBLT research using subjective techniques (questionnaires, interviews, think-alouds, and stimulated recalls) as well as objective tools (dual-task methodology, keystroke-logging, screen-recording, eye-tracking, and fMRI), while highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each method. I will also describe and demonstrate how adopting more novel data collection techniques (e.g., eye-tracking, keystroke logging, fMRI) and triangulating these with more traditional tools (e.g., verbal protocols) can help us achieve a fuller and more complete understanding of task-based processing and learning. In doing so, I will draw on my own and others' recent work exploring the cognitive processes involved in second language writing, reading, listening and speaking task performance. I will end the talk with some methodological recommendations for future cognitively-oriented TBLT research.

Emojis and the future of language

主题摘要
In this talk, I'll look at how technology is changing both the way we use language and language itself, and I'll ask what this means for the future of human communication. A few decades ago, discussions about the future of language often focused on how English was emerging as the main global language. Today, the question is more likely to lead to answers about the influence that digital technology is having on the way we communicate, and whether developments in this area are improving our ability to relate to each other or having the opposite effect. With reference to the use of emojis in digital interaction, the talk will explore the changing nature of global communication.

could benefit foreign language teaching

主题摘要
The introduction of Positive Psychology in foreign language (FL) learning research triggered a wave of interest in learner and teacher emotions (Dewaele, 2022; Dewaele et al., 2019, Dewaele & Li, 2020). It extended the traditional focus on foreign language anxiety and introduced new concepts such as FL enjoyment (Dewaele & MacIntyre, 2014) and FL boredom (Li, 2021) which affect performance and progress in the FL. I will argue that Positive Psychology could also help over the deficit perspective in FL education that causes a huge amount of stress to both learners and teachers, namely the view that FL learners are somehow deficient if they do not reach an unattainable “native speaker” norm.

When syntax is semantic: a semiotic
account of English self pronouns

主题摘要
Traditional analyses divide the use of English self pronouns into two categories: reflexive (argument) and emphatic (appositive). Generally, emphatics have been analyzed in terms of semantics (e.g., Kemmer 1995; Kemmer & Barlow 1996; Edmondson & Plank 1978), while argument uses are the purview of syntactic treatments (e.g., Chomsky 1981, 1982, 1995; Reinhart & Reuland 1993). In this talk, a semantic analysis is applied across the board to all appearances of these pronouns, including both appositive and argument uses, and encompassing traditional reflexives as well as so-called exceptions. This innovative functionalist account, based on the Columbia School framework, unites argument and appositive uses, as well as what syntacticians have called sentence-based and discourse-based uses of these forms.
Specifically, I will show that argument uses of self pronouns are an instantiation of the use of these forms for unexpected messages. In prototypical reflexive uses, a single referent is playing more than one role at a single time, an unexpected situation given the grammatical meanings signaled by word order in English (Diver 1984; Reid 1991, 2010). The presence of what I call a notional role conflict accounts for all syntactically reflexive uses of self, as well as the appearance of the forms in logophoric contexts and picture noun phrases. I will demonstrate that the semantic notion of role conflict is a more reliable predictor of the distribution of self pronouns than the syntactic notion of reflexivity.
