description: Most practitioners teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) will agree that students come with some expectations about course content and teaching methodology and that these expectations play a vital role in student motivation and learning. However, the study of student expectations has been a surprising omission from Second Language Acquisition research. In the studies reported here, we develop a model of student expectations by adapting the Expectation Disconfirmation paradigm, widely used in consumer psychology. Student and teacher perspectives on student expectations were gathered by interviews. Responses shed light on the nature of expectations, factors causing expectations and effects of expectation fulfilment (or lack of it). The findings provide new avenues for research on affective factors as well as clarify some ambiguities in motivational research in second language acquisition. The model presented here can be used by teachers or institutions to conduct classroom-based research, thus optimising students learning and performance, and enhancing student morale.

description: Language is crucial in our lives and to all disciplines. It affects our well-being individually and collectively and touches important sociopolitical issues. Linguists/applied linguists have exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary research and to work in contexts personally meaningful to them. While language is the concern of all people, professionals have special responsibilities to provide leadership in understanding how it works and responsible insights into the uses and abuses of language in society.Australian language specialists can offer the rest of the world experience with language policy, typological and language contact studies, and bilingual language acquisition. Some Australians have advanced linguistic knowledge through studies of indigenous languages. Many have worked with indigenous, ethnic and other communities and professional groups, providing evidence in court or advice to teachers and families. Some broadcast regularly or occasionally. But have we succeeded in contesting the monolingual mindset of the mainstream? The Australian authors represented in language sections of most general bookshops are not linguists.Far more collaboration and coordination of initiatives through the professional societies is needed to put languages back on the national agenda and make Australia more language-aware. This should lead to recognizing, valuing, fostering and transmitting, supporting and sharing our linguistic diversity. Australias rich language potential has only been partly realized.

description: ABSTRACTHeavy metal concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn were investigated for 107 soil samples collected from crop land, orchard land, greenhouse land and wood land in the peri-urban area of Beijing, China. The mean concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn in all soil samples were 8.40, 0.20, 24.7, 0.08, 25.0, 23.0 and 77.1 mg/kg, dw, respectively. Among the four land use types, the Cd concentration in greenhouse land was significantly higher than other three kinds of land uses (p<0.05), and Cu and Zn concentrations in greenhouse land were significantly higher than in crop land and wood land (p<0.05). Based on principal component analysis, elevated Cu, Zn and Cd concentrations in greenhouse land might have originated from high application rates of manure and fertilizer. According to an ecological risk analysis, the four land use types can be ranked in the following order: greenhouse land > orchard land > crop land > wood land. However, the degree of non-cancer risk for both adults and children in different land uses decreased in the order of greenhouse land > orchard land > wood land > crop land.

description: In todays second language classrooms, students are often asked to work in pairs or small groups. Such collaboration can take place face-to-face, but now more often via computer mediated communication. This paper reports on a study which investigated the effect of the medium of communication on the nature of pair interaction. The study involved six pairs of beginner participants in a Chinese class completing seven different tasks. Each task was completed twice, once face to face (FTF), and once via computer mediated communication (CMC). All pair talk was audio recorded, and on-line communication was logged. Using Storchs (2002) model of patterns of pair interaction, five patterns were identified: collaborative, cooperative, dominant/dominant, dominant/passive and expert/novice. The medium of communication was found to affect the pattern of interaction. In CMC some pairs became more collaborative, or cooperative. The implications of these findings for language teaching, particularly for the use of CMC in language classes, are discussed. Copyright 2010 Lan Liana Tan, Gillian Wigglesworth and Neomy Storch.

description: Cadmium is one of the most toxic metal compounds found in the environment. It is well established that Cd induces hepatotoxicity in humans and multiple animal models. Melatonin, a major secretory product of the pineal gland, has been reported to protect against Cd-induced hepatotoxicity. However, the mechanism behind this protection remains to be elucidated. We exposed HepG2 cells to different concentrations of cadmium chloride (2.5, 5, and 10 μM) for 12 h. We found that Cd induced mitochondrial-derived superoxide anion-dependent autophagic cell death. Specifically, Cd decreased SIRT3 protein expression and activity and promoted the acetylation of SOD2, superoxide dismutase 2, mitochondrial, thus decreasing its activity, a key enzyme involved in mitochondrial ROS production, although Cd did not disrupt the interaction between SIRT3 and SOD2. These effects were ameliorated by overexpression of SIRT3. However, a catalytic mutant of SIRT3 (SIRT3H248Y) lacking deacetylase activity lost the capacity to suppress Cd-induced autophagy. Notably, melatonin treatment enhanced the activity but not the expression of SIRT3, decreased the acetylation of SOD2, inhibited mitochondrial-derived O2•− production and suppressed the autophagy induced by 10 μM Cd. Moreover, 3-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine, a confirmed selective SIRT3 inhibitor, blocked the melatonin-mediated suppression of autophagy by inhibiting SIRT3-SOD2 signaling. Importantly, melatonin suppressed Cd-induced autophagic cell death by enhancing SIRT3 activity in vivo. These results suggest that melatonin exerts a hepatoprotective effect on mitochondrial-derived O2•−-stimulated autophagic cell death that is dependent on the SIRT3/SOD2 pathway.

description: This paper reports on the preliminary stages of a project designed to investigate communication problems in General Aviation and assess the utility of language technologies as a means of mitigation. The study presented in this paper is the first of a three-part study, in which we aim to investigate the extent to which the English language proficiency of pilots whose native language is not English (EL2) impacts on their ability to effectively communicate with Air Traffic Control (ATC), and its potential impact on safety outcomes. In a preliminary survey, we distributed a questionnaire to General Aviation pilots at various flight training organisations and collected self-reported instances of miscommunication between themselves and ATC. In addition, we asked pilots to rank, in order of difficulty, five typical radio communication tasks. The results indicated that pilots who are English native speakers and EL2 pilots give a similar ranking of difficulty to the radio communicative tasks, and that both EL2 and native speakers rank understanding other pilots as the most challenging task.

description: This paper discusses the development of an assessment to satisfy the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Language Proficiency Requirements. The Versant Aviation English Test utilizes speech recognition technology and a computerized testing platform, such that test administration and scoring are fully automated. Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, this 25-minute test is delivered via a telephone or computer. Two issues of interest are discussed. The first concerns the practicalities of assessing candidates in each of six separate dimensions of spoken proficiency: Pronunciation, Structure, Vocabulary, Fluency, Comprehension, and Interactions. Although an automated scoring system can objectively segregate these skills, we question whether human raters have the capacity to do this in oral interviews. The second issue discussed is how an automated test can provide a valid assessment of spoken interactions. Tasks were designed to simulate the information exchange between pilots and controllers on which candidates proficiency in Interactions could be measured, for example, by eliciting functions such as correcting miscommunications and providing clarification. It is argued that candidate ability can be probed and estimated in a fair and standardized way by presenting a series of independent items which are targeted in difficulty at the various ICAO levels.

description: This article reports on a case study of negotiation that occurred in peer group oral interactions under assessment conditions. Discourse analysis was used to illustrate how participants negotiated and co-constructed the assessment format itself as well as meaning exchange sequences. Analyses of the data point to the advantage of using peer group discussion task in generating the interaction patterns representative of natural conversational situations. By concentrating on the situated dynamics and process of peer group functioning, this study also demonstrates the importance of peer learning opportunities that resulted from collaborative reasoning under assessment conditions, which have typically been ignored in the conventional testing paradigm. Implications of these findings over validity issues in oral language assessment are discussed. Copyright 2007 Zhengdong Gan.

Delivering subject choice and quality assurance in specialised disciplines: the University of New England's model of subject delivery at the University of Newcastle
Creators: name: Dunne, Kerry

Year: 2017

description: Using a new model of subject delivery, the University of New England (UNEArmidale, Australia) offers specialist subjects at partner or host institutions. The model is a modified version of distance education. It is designed to meet the needs of on-campus students who wish to study a subject that their university is unable to offer as a full internal program. Students are enrolled as students of the partner institution, but the content of the courses, the teaching and assessment are the responsibility of UNE staff. The model is attractive to students and to tertiary administrators of both the host and provider universities. For students the model offers greater subject choice and flexibility; for tertiary administrators at the host institution there is built-in quality assurance and continuity of subject offerings, and for UNE an opportunity to develop a new market for distance education and to ensure the survival of low enrolment specialist language subjects.

description: Primary school languages education continues to be a challenging issue for all states in Australia. In Victoria, LOTE study is provided at the primary level to address the needs of linguistically diverse communities, as well as to provide an enriching learning experience for monolingual speakers of English. The challenge remains to ensure that programs that are run are effective, address the needs of the community and are embraced as a valuable and enriching component of the school curriculum. This study looks at the provision of LOTE in 2003 in Victorian primary schools and in particular, through an analysis of the geographical location of community groups and primary LOTE programs, how effectively community needs are being met. We also analyse the nature of LOTE programs through an examination of teachers qualifications, time allotment and program type. Factors identified by some schools as impinging on LOTE study at the primary level, such as literacy concerns and multilingual diversity, will also be examined.

Understanding aviation English as a lingua franca: perceptions of Korean aviation personnel
Creators: name: Kim, Hyejeong
name: Elder, Catherine
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Researchers exploring the use of language use in radiotelephony communication have tended to focus on the limitations of the non-native English user and the threats which their limited control of English may pose for aviation safety (e.g. Atsushi, 2003, 2004). Hence the recent International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) policy places the onus on non-native users to bring their English to an appropriate standard. The present paper argues that there is a need for a broader perspective on this issue and supports this case with reference to two sources of data: a) episodes of radiotelephony discourse recorded in two air traffic control centres in Korea exemplifying non-routine, abnormal and emergency situations involving NS of English and NNS from different language backgrounds, b) focus group and individual interviews with selected Korean aviation personnel eliciting their interpretations of these episodes and of issues in aviation English more generally. Findings suggest that responsibilities for communication problems in aviation English are distributed across NS and NNS users, and may be partly due to the absence of shared assumptions about efficient and appropriate communication practices in an environment where English is a lingua franca (ELF). Implications are drawn for the communication training of all aviation personnel, regardless of language background. Copyright 2009 Hyejeong Kim and Catherine Elder.

Australian Applied Linguistics in relation to international trends

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Applied Linguistics is a diverse field, comprising a substantial number of sub-fields, sub-specialisations and related fields. To see that this is the case one need only examine the various handbooks and encyclopaedic references that have been published in the last ten years to see the wide range of topics that have been covered. As with many professional areas in academia, Applied Linguistics is organised around national organisations, with its international structure being a loose confederation known as the International Association of Applied Linguistics (AILA). Given these diverse academic and structural arrangements, it should not be surprising if academics within different national associations were to cluster around different interests within the field. This study explores the question of what emphases are found in various parts of the world in Applied Linguistics, and in particular, the relationship of Australian Applied Linguistics to international trends using a structural text analysis of abstracts related to Applied Linguistics as well as an historical review of the trends involved.

description: The wearable device can be a key link between health care and big data and analytics (BDA). The benefits of BDA in health care have been widely acknowledged, but the uncertainty of the implementation of BDA has led some firms to hesitate in adopting this technology. In this research, we are keen to answer the key questions of whether the wearable device firms would adopt the BDA strategy, and how much effort they would put into it. We propose a competition model between the wearable device firms with and without BDA strategies, and consider the consumer’s preference towards BDA and network effects. Our model demonstrates that the investment on BDA directly affects the firm’s equilibrium price, market share and profit and at the same time, this strategy also affects the rival’s performances. When the firm with BDA strategy adopts different competition strategy: conservative or expansive, the outcomes of market are different. We also find that different market structures, fully covered and partially covered, have different impacts on the firms’ competition when the consumers have heterogeneous preference on BDA strategy.

Missing me and Msing the other: courtesy titles for women in Englishes

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The introduction and spread of Ms as the courtesy address title for women is a cornerstone of feminist linguistic planning for English. Its introduction aimed to eradicate the discriminatory inequity in the address system that exposed women through their (non)marital relationship with men. The understanding, use and impact of the courtesy title are fairly well documented, particularly for Englishes of Australia (e.g. Pauwels 1987; 1998; 2001; 2003), US and Britain (Romaine 2001) and New Zealand (Holmes 2001). We have little knowledge of the forms spread, impact and use by speakers for whom English is not the dominant language but forms part of their linguistic repertoire. Graddol (1997) argues that English-speaking bilinguals will outnumber first language speakers and, increasingly will decide the global future of the language (p.10). Such contexts of English second / third / foreign usage loosely align with locales Kachru (1997) identified as expanding circles, and to some extent, many of the outer circle Englishes, e.g. Hong Kong. In this paper we take up a new direction in feminist language planning: the exploration of courtesy title use and practices by English-speaking mono-/bi-/multilingual women around the world. We draw upon online survey data (available from http://www.teagirl.arts.uwa.edu.au/) to probe respondents strategies for addressing unknown women, as well as womens use of courtesy titles for themselves. Our mapping of practices associated with Ms reveals an unexpected pattern of diffusion with implications for evaluating planned social language change. In relation to Ms, the implementation of feminist linguistic policy does not cohere with a pattern of spread from inner to outer to expanding circles of English or from first language speaker to foreign language speaker diffusion. The locale and personal contexts associated with education, awareness and personal commitment to gender equity interact in complicating, and surprising ways. Indeed our research exposes a new directionality for Ms as a preferred form for unknown women, without necessarily implicating its use in self-naming for many bilingual women resident in outer circle locales.

Zagreb and Tenerife: airline accidents involving linguistic factors
Creators: name: Cookson, Simon

description: The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is currently implementing a program to improve the language proficiency of pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide. In justifying the program, ICAO has cited a number of airline accidents that were at least partly caused by language factors. Two accidents cited by ICAO are analysed in this paper: the mid-air collision above Zagreb in 1976, and the runway collision at Tenerife in 1977. The paper examines the linguistic factors involved in each accident, such as code switching and L1 interference, and uses the Swiss cheese model of accident causation developed by Reason (1990) and adapted by Wiegmann and Shappell (2003) to put these factors into a broader aviation context. It is shown that, while linguistic factors were in each case significant, both accidents occurred as the result of multiple causal factors, many of which were non-linguistic. Furthermore, stress and fatigue played a decisive role in exacerbating the linguistic factors in each accident. Finally, the paper suggests lessons that may be drawn from the analysis for the training of pilots and air traffic controllers, both native-speaker and non native-speaker.

description: The present study investigates the relationships among motivational factors, cultural correlates and second language proficiency. The participants, from both Western and Asian backgrounds, were learning Chinese at university level in the Peoples Republic of China. 115 students (35 Western students and 80 Asian students) ranging from beginning to advanced levels of proficiency were surveyed.The results of the study indicated that the degree of integrativeness into Chinese culture and motivation was significantly and positively related to Chinese language proficiency, while language anxiety was significantly and negatively correlated to such proficiency. However instrumental orientation was found to have no statistically significant relationship with such proficiency. Multiple regression analysis indicated that integrativeness and gender were major variables predicting Chinese language proficiency. Significant differences between Western and Asian student groups were found in terms of motivational variables and Chinese language proficiency. Compared with the Asian student group, the Western student group tended to perform better in spoken Chinese proficiency as evaluated by their teachers and seemed to have higher levels of motivation and integrativeness but lower levels of instrumental orientation and language anxiety. Recommendations are made to enhance motivation and second language acquisition. Copyright 2008 Baohua Yu and David A. Watkins.

description: The present study is focused on the development of green microwave process for the synthesis of mesogenic substituted aroylhydrazones and their structure–mesophase relationship study. Two new liquid crystalline series of disubstituted aroylhydrazones with (ABB(OH)H-n) and without lateral hydroxyl group (ABBH-n) (n = 6–16) have been synthesised by microwave-assisted methods. The compounds were structurally characterised by using suitable spectroscopic techniques. The mesomorphic properties of the series of aroylhydrazones were examined using differential scanning calorimetric analysis and polarising optical microscopy. The relationship between structure and mesogenic properties was analysed by comparison of the present series and earlier reports on homostructural series of aroylhydrazones. Thus, the effects of substitution of phenyl rings with ester and ether linking group at both terminals and introduction of hydroxyl group at lateral position on stability of mesophase and their width were investigated. In general, all substituted aroylhydrazone derivatives exhibit SmC mesophase, and substitution of terminal and lateral group has considerably increased the stability and broadened the width of mesophase of the compounds.

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This article describes a project which identified the skills and abilities in written literacy of pre-service teachers, as well as their needs in this area. An intervention to address their needs is evaluated and its outcomes assessed, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses. Results show that it is possible to improve these students literacy skills and awareness even with such a short intervention as is described here. However, the intervention was most successful in dealing with lower-level linguistic variables such as punctuation and spelling, in contrast to higher-level text and paragraph structures.

description: The analysis of spontaneous and evoked EEG activity represents a cornerstone for the paraclinical assessment of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC). The past few years have witnessed a fertile convergence between the science of consciousness and clinical practice, holding the promise that new concepts and tools will soon be available at the bedside of DoC patients. This paper provides a critical overview of both consolidated and investigational electrophysiological techniques in their contribution to diagnosis and prognostication of patients. We first describe conventional EEG methods and their clinical implications, we then focus on evoked and event-related potentials applications, and finally we deal with novel research findings that may have clinical impact in the near future. In doing so, we distinguish whenever possible, between the acute, the prolonged and the chronic phase of DoC, we try to relate both clinical and research findings to basic neuronal and network processes and we share our experience about technical and conceptual caveats. The primary aim of this narrative review is to provide a bridge between old and new measures related to the detection and prediction of recovery of consciousness. Its ultimate ambition is to offer a common ground to clinical neurologists and academic researchers.
