Hello #appliedlinguistics and #SLA researchers! Trying to find anyone interested in #EAL and #multilingual learners, or #MFL and pedagogy. Not expecting there are many people yet who also research using songs for teaching languages but if you’re on here, let’s connect!

I just finished my minor corrections so am done with the PhD. I found out lots of fun stuff and it will become a book about L2 listening for teachers. Key take-aways: listeners find non-existent L1 words often. Sound overrides sense. Even high ability learners rarely access grammar when listening.
